You should be taught all that you need. The basic scouts stuff should be sufficient.

butterfly, reef, eight etc
I'm bad with my knots and since everyone in SIT test will be given a 'position' such as signaller, navigator, minesweeper etc etc, some might not even need tie any knots on your own.

No SIT Test is very slack as compared to field camp. Its only 2 days 1 night if i rmb correctly. And after ur assessment, u'll have the rest of the day to urself, meaning after 2 or 3 o'clock, u'll be very very free.
The assessment obstacles do require some thinking and teamwork, but its nothing too hard. Even if u cannot complete it, it doesnt really matter cos they look more at the solving process than the end result. U should be doing 12 obstacles in 2 days I think. As for the obstacles, we cannot post it here cos if kinda classified.
Anyway, the tying of knots and stuff would not be a problem if u got a scout boy in ur team. If not, its also not too bad. Just remember all ur square lashings, and the most important one; the clove hitch. U dunno that one, u dont need to help in tying alr. The rest of it just anyhow tie lah. As long as u tie tight and secure enough, its ok alr.

SIT test is a strong determination point whether you end up at SISPEC or not.
