Origami can help you too.

After recently completing my CFAT, I agree with zakiuz in that origami could be a great way to practice. I am mostly a kinesthetic learner, so this type of practice works well for me.

Practice online. Also make sure you examine the parts of the pictures very carefully. Take notice to what is where because the location of lines/images/objects can make it easy to break down 4 possible answers into 2. Its a lot easier to get down to two items fast because then it gives you the time to focus on the smaller differences.

Video games! It might appeal more to some than orgami; people tend to give up on tasks that require more patience and fine motor skills.

Scientists use video gamers to help them solve/unlock complex protein structures because they have awesome spatial sense, see article below.

I would tend to agree with the CFAT. If your lacking spacial ability and then you proceed to chose Weapons Tech or Vehicle Tech, you will probably struggle with many of the tests on your trades courses. I advice you to talk to a recruiter and see what trades you are compatible with and then go from there. As a former weapons tech who is spacial challenged, I ended up memorizing how the damn thing went back together.

Hi, I had a question for those who have written the CFAT.

Would the examples found here: http://www.fibonicci.com/spatial-reasoning/test/hard/ ; be a good example of the level of difficulty/ complexity found on Spatial reasoning section of the CFAT test. 

Thank you in advance.

It's been a while, but I'd say those examples are more difficult than what's on the CFAT.

I missed my CFAT the first time too, now I didn't do poorly in spatial, but it saved me on my second go-through, And honestly I would give the same advice as everyone else, play with LEGO, look at things around you and think how you could seperate it and build it again in a map-like form, I also when I wrote the test, tried to think more like the Military, then how I would approach it, I know it sounds weird, but I guess think of "looking at the world a little differently" or like an ant would see....Hope this sort of inspired you!

GOOD LUCK!
