How many sections are included in the CFAT?

The Canadian Forces Aptitude Test (CFAT) comprises three distinct sections that assess various cognitive abilities necessary for success in military training and service. These sections focus on evaluating verbal skills, spatial ability, and problem-solving capabilities.

The first section, which involves verbal skills, assesses the candidate's ability to understand and manipulate language-related tasks. The second section evaluates spatial ability, determining how well a candidate can visualize and manipulate objects in space. The final section assesses problem-solving skills, measuring logical reasoning and analytical thinking when presented with numerical and practical problems.

This structure allows the CFAT to provide a comprehensive evaluation of a candidate's aptitudes, ensuring that those who enter the Canadian Forces possess the necessary skills to succeed in a variety of roles.
