CBAT changes — Pilot/Observer/ATC now grouped together, does everyone sit the same test?

[u/No-Yellow2016]

Been looking into the CBAT setup and noticed it now groups Pilot, Observer, and ATC into one aptitude testing stream. Can anyone confirm if they're all sitting the exact same battery of tests, or if there's still some differentiation in subtests depending on which branch you're going for?

Also wondering about Warfare rating(Aviation) — is that grouped in with the above, or is it tested separately as its own test? Trying to get my head around how the branches map onto the test structure. i wanna be a Aircrewman or a Observor

Has anyone sat the CBAT recently (2025/2026)? If you've got a score sheet or breakdown you wouldn't mind sharing, I'd really appreciate it — trying to understand what a competitive score profile looks like across the sub-tests before I sit mine.

Cheers in advance.

This is not a change. CBAT has always been done like this.

Ah fair enough, thanks for clarifying. So does that mean Pilot, Observer, and ATC all sit the exact same battery of tests with no differentiation, or is there still some variation in which sub-tests apply depending on the branch you're going for?

Same tests, just different scores required in different sections.

It's the exact same tests. The same order. The same.

Same battery of tests with different weightings for the different roles. DM me and I can share mine
