RCAF · iPhone & Android
The CFAST app
CFAST (Canadian Forces Aircrew Selection Test) practice in your pocket. Realistic practice tests, step-by-step coaching and a full CFAST Simulator for Royal Canadian Air Force candidates, made by a candidate who sat the real CBAT and passed.
What's in the app
Numerical, spatial, instrument, memory, attention, tracking and multitasking tests, timed like the real thing and scored in stanines.
Each test is taught step by step before you try it, with the questions candidates always ask answered as you go.
Sit the tests back to back like the real sitting, with results weighted for RCAF roles. CFAST mode uses CLAN for the multitasking test and leaves out Dynamic Projection, which the Canadian battery doesn't use.
See how you rank on every test and swap tips with Canadian and UK candidates in the CBAT Ready Discord.
Your Pro subscription works on cbatready.com too, where the web adds the tests that need a keyboard and mouse.
What candidates say
“The app had a wide spread of tests that helped me prepare and pass my Aircrew Selection test. Although it's based on the UK's CBAT, it matches closely to the Canadian counterpart, the CFAST. The developer rolls out periodic updates and the community discord is very helpful.”
“This app is so helpful… it's not about memorising answers, it's about becoming familiar with the test format, gathering information on things like timings and what happens on the day from the community. That way when you walk into the exam, you feel like you've been there before… That is a gem in a gold mine. 100% recommend.”
“This app along with the website are very well designed and closely emulate the real CBAT conditions, which gave a really helpful advantage going into the test, as while they say "you don't need to prepare", knowing what's coming your way before you enter the room is incredibly valuable…”
CFAST app FAQs
Is there a CFAST app?
Yes. CBAT Ready is a CFAST practice app for iPhone and Android. Pick RCAF when you start and it sets itself up for the CFAST: CFAST mode uses CLAN for the multitasking test and leaves out Dynamic Projection, which the Canadian battery doesn't use. It has practice tests for every CFAST skill, Test Coaching walkthroughs and a full timed Simulator.
Is the CFAST app free?
It's free to download from the App Store and Google Play, with tests you can try free. CBAT Ready Pro unlocks everything, and one subscription covers the app and the website.
Is CBAT Ready right for the CFAST if it's named after the RAF CBAT?
Yes. The CFAST belongs to the same family of computer-based aircrew aptitude tests as the RAF CBAT and measures the same skills, which is why Canadian candidates already use CBAT Ready. In RCAF mode the app and site call it the CFAST and run the battery your service sits.
