Army AOSB coaching
Preparation for the psychometric tests at AOSB Briefing, plus interview and planning exercise practice for the board, coached one-to-one online.
What we cover
From the Briefing tests to the planning exercise
Every session uses original practice questions written to match the real format, never copied from the test.
VERBAL
Verbal reasoning
Read a passage, judge each statement and move on. A clear method stops you overthinking true, false and can't-say answers.
ABSTRACT
Abstract reasoning
Find the rule in shape sequences fast, using a checklist of the patterns that test designers use most.
PLANNING
Planning exercise
Timings, speed, distance and logistics worked out quickly and clearly, so your plan holds up when you're questioned on it.
INTERVIEW
Interview practice
Mock interviews and competency answers built with the STAR method, from a coach with personal experience of a full officer selection board.
PACE
Speed under pressure
Timed drills and full mocks so the Briefing tests feel familiar long before the day.

Questions
AOSB coaching FAQs
Do you prepare candidates for Main Board as well as Briefing?
I coach the parts that can be practised one-to-one: the psychometric tests, the planning exercise and your interview answers. Group and command tasks are best practised in person with other candidates.
How early should I start?
Ideally 5 or more weeks before your Briefing. If it's sooner, tell me your date in the free diagnostic and we'll build the plan around it.
Are the sessions online?
Yes. Every session is one-to-one on Zoom, so you can join from anywhere in the UK.
Can you guarantee I'll pass?
No honest coach can promise a result. What you get is a clear plan, honest feedback and a lot of timed practice.
