Today, I went to CMPB SAF Career Center for the test...
It was very tough indeed...try to figure out this, you have to subtract a simple mathematical equation and stabilise the cross-hair at the same time...you also need to hear the instructions and indicate if there is any changes...
I was pratically overwhlemed with the test itself...
It was the Computerised Aptitude Selection System test, COMPASS for short. There were not many came but I can tell that I was the only malay guy there took the test. Of course, I was tense at the moment. I was already late and I just came in the nick of time.
For 5 hours, I had to challenge my brain and co-ordinate my hands and feet to score well for this test. I wasn't too sure I can do it but I did after all.
Seriously, I don't have the confidence that I had done well. You must need and excellent IQ to spot simple questions and I can tell that the questions are not that simple either.
For the first part of the test, I can consider I did well, it is just a matter of reading the instruments. The others like stabilising the horizontal and vertical bars were easy too. I don't have any difficulties. It was only the identifying the coloured shapes with numbers in it. On top of it, the instructions were given through the headphones. So tell me, which part is easy?
Thus, I was in low mood today and it completely crushed my hopes to get into a Pilot. Oh, not too forget, you need to excel in BMT and become an Officer before you can get the post. By hook or by crook, you have to be an OCS product before they consider you.
I have to come up with another plan soon. In the meantime, to ease my mood swing, I bought two vcds, The Maid and Harry Potter, Goblet of Fire. I know. You might be wondering why I didn't watch it in the first place. Well, The Maid, I couldn't remember why I didn't watch it but for Harry Potter latest sequel, I was in India at that point when Harry Potter was released late November 2005. I thought I might as well catch it in India but in the end, I gave up on that idea.
Still, I felt that I missing something. I felt something that I need to do. I'm in still in my lowest mood today. I think I just need to rest. I have a long day tomorrow.
Nites.
