The app also includes access to a community chat where candidates can discuss practice, share tips, ask questions, and connect with others preparing for CBAT-style assessments.

Questions are computer generated, so practice sessions can vary each time you play.

Each section includes instructions explaining how the test works. At the end of supported games, you can review incorrectly answered questions to understand where you went wrong.

Please note: this app is an independent training tool and is not official or affiliated with any military organisation. Scores, role-style profiles, aptitude groupings, and pass/fail-style feedback are for practice only and cannot confirm or predict official assessment outcomes.

Good luck with your test.

### 5/5 — Best app for CBAT

*2026-08-22, version 4.13.0*

Used this and other apps to prepare for CBAT, but this is for certain the best one. 

Mental maths is really the only part of the CBAT you can prepare for and this definitely helps , in particular the the FLAG was really useful. 

Very good using the app post CBAT as well to maintain mental math skills for oasc and flying trg 

Thank you developer!

Edit: thanks for readding the mental maths trainer

### 5/5 — Superb

*2026-05-26*

I feel like this app is essential for anyone preparing for the military aptitude tests. I especially love the Trace test — it’s surprisingly fun, and it’s really rewarding to see your improvement over time. The new feature that shows where you went wrong is a fantastic addition too. Overall, a superb app!

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-01*

I’ve been using this app to prep for CBAT and it’s been super helpful. The questions are tough and cover loads of areas that I’m weak on such as maths and multitasking.

Some of the sections make you think under pressure, especially the spatial awareness games.

Overall, it’s a solid app if you’re preparing for CBAT. Definitely worth it, as it helps get your brain working.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! I am really glad you’re finding the multitasking and spatial sections challenging. Best of luck with your upcoming tests!

Great app!!!!!!

### 5/5 — great app

*2026-03-23*

If you are looking at doing your CBAT soon, this is a great resource to help you feel more confident. The practice tests are well put together and easy to use. Recent updates are great, what would be better is if you could monitor your progress by seeing all your practice scores. Apart from that, I can’t fault it!

**Developer response:** I really appreciate the feedback! It’s great to know the recent updates are hitting the mark. I completely agree that a score-tracking feature would be a valuable addition for monitoring progress.  Thanks for helping make the app better, and good luck with your CBAT!

I’ve been using this app for a while now and it keeps getting better. There are so many tests to practice.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the kind words Jake! I’m glad you’re enjoying the app!

### 4/5 — One issue, other than that good app

*2026-03-07*

So far this app has been great and I’ve enjoyed my time with it. However, the CU test under the multitasking section does not show any controls which is slightly frustrating. Hopefully they get this issue resolved soon.

**Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the feedback. I'm happy to let you know that this was an issue with Dark Mode with the CU test and it has been fixed in the latest update. Please update your app to see the controls properly. I appreciate your patience, and if you have any other suggestions, feel free to reach out via email!
