Hi /sci/ first time lurker here. I've failed a military aptitude test (Britbong here) two times now and feel like a dullard.
It's the RAF's Computer Based Aptitude Test (CBAT). Basically 8 hours of mental arithmetic and problem-solving.
I've subscribed to luminosity and trying to get into a technical job currently which will help.
This board must get this question constantly, but is there a way (lifestyle, hard practice etc.) of improving my IQ and/or optimizing my mind to beat this test?
Anyone who replies is a legend, thanks.

Your brain will turn into mush after far less time if you're not used to it.
You basically need to train on the same set of exercises for the same amount of time.
what you spend your time doing does make a difference. people of the same mental potential who work in a job that requires critical thought always seem smarter than those who sit around thinking about nothing. I've recognized this even in my own life
and it doesn't necessarily need to be a job, it can be pastimes too
