Custom Search

Your previously acquired foreign language skills may not be helpful while encountering defense language aptitude battery, especially when your native language is English. A fake language is created, fake grammatical rules are designed and fake phonetic coding is offered. But neither your answers nor your results are fake.

This page may be helpful to to discover the smart ways to prepare before encountering defense language aptitude battery.

Important Tips

Grammar and Syntax

If you don't have good understanding of English language grammar and syntax, your fluency is not sufficient. You need to know how verbs, objectives, adjectives and possessives work?

Structure of Sentences

You should know how English sentences are constructed i.e. Subject-Verb-Object. Recognize accentuation, syllable breaks, word patterns etc.

For example you want to be a German linguist. Observe how the sentences differ from those of English. A good way is to know the letters pronounced in other languages

Repetition of Questions

Keep your ears open to audio portion of the exam as there is no repetition of the questions. There is a question then a small pause for you to answer, then another question. If you cannot answer one question, don't think and concentrate on the beginning of next question. Be careful in this part.
