What Is the Literacy Test?
Being able to efficiently communicate with your team members is crucial in the army.

The Literacy Test checks your English reading and writing skills.
Some important notes:
- Do not worry if English is not your first language. If in this case your scores are low, you will be provided with further help in your initial training (Phase 1).
- Candidates with an English GCSE certificate of A*-C are not required to sit this test.

Question 3
According to this newspaper report, decide which of the statements are true, false or cannot say:
Every autumn and winter, thousands of starlings pack close together and swirl across the sky in one of the natural calendar’s most dramatic spectacles. Although experts do not know for certain the reason behind the aerial displays, several theories for these murmurations have been aired. Probably the biggest theory is the idea of safety in numbers – it’s an anti-predator strategy. If you’ve got quite a big, swirling flock of birds, that creates a mesmerising sight. And that in itself – that movement, that motion – creates a situation where predators are actually confused and then can’t focus on any one individual bird to pick out and predate.
