Hi Daniel,
The BARB has been replaced by the Army Cognitive Test or ACT. Although the tests are different, they are both a test of your cognitive ability and as a result your employability in each role. The ACT takes a number of things into consideration when determining your score; getting questions wrong will impact your score but this is only part of how the results are formulated.
