Medical-support roles

About this practice suite

This suite prepares candidates for medical-support roles selection in the military and defence sector with 4 skill areas: situational judgment, technical reasoning, numerical reasoning and attention and concentration. Every question was written by Novus editors for this suite — none are taken from live or leaked exams — and the full bank holds 52 scored questions across three modes, plus 8 reserve questions used to vary repeat attempts. Answer keys never ship to the browser: your answers are scored server-side, and results stay on your device.

Skills this suite practises

• Situational judgment — Evaluating workplace responses against role-relevant principles.
• Technical reasoning — Applied technical principles, diagrams, tools, systems, measurements, and troubleshooting.
• Numerical reasoning — Arithmetic, fractions, percentages, ratios, rates, estimation, word problems, and number relationships.
• Attention and concentration — Sustained focus, selective attention, and accuracy under time pressure.

Sample questions from the guided bank

Two of the 10 guided-practice questions, shown exactly as they appear in a session. Answers and explanations are not printed here — keys stay on the server — so open guided practice to answer them and see how you did.

1. Why perform hand hygiene before patient contact?

   • A. It is required only after contact
   • B. It replaces glove use entirely
   • C. It reduces infection transmission risk
   • D. Soap is optional if hands look clean

2. A patient asks you to interpret a diagnosis beyond your role. What is best?

Practice modes and timing

Guided practice is untimed-feeling and instructional; the mini-test is a short timed check; the full simulation mirrors a complete sitting. All three draw on separate question sets, so moving up a mode never repeats what you practised.
