Ok, lets just say the day was really, really, really LONG.
First off, the PATI: The maping questions I felt were the same or even easier then on this site. The arithmitic, problem solving and "whats the next pattern" I found to be REALLY EASY. The syllogisms were so so some of them were a little tricky. What I found to be really HARD was "what one didn't belong" they were so tricky you really had to look and concentrate on those. I found I had about 15 - 20mins left to review the whole test.
Second, the WCT I found to be really easy just think Who, What, Where, When, and How and you should be ok. Print clearly and don't use words you can not spell just keep it simple and to the point!
Lastly, the PREP. The phisyical I found really easy. The pass time is 2:42 seconds on the pursuit and restraint. I tried to go through the obstacle course quickly and take my time on the push and pull. When you are finished try to stay lose too many people drank water and sat around. You might have to wait a little longer then the minimum 10 mins and you will stiffen up. The shuttle is approx 6-7mins long, 4-5 laps for half a stage. Honestly, PACE YOURSELF and you should do ok! It really is easy, I did no training and I passed.
Take some food and drink with you my PREP was the last component, so you might feel a little drained after the written test.
Anyways good luck to all!!
cheers!
