Question

I did the initial selection tests in May and had the final test and interviews a couple of months ago.

The first batch of tests involve quick, accurate analysis of problems - for example, recognising and matching 7-letter (or number) codes, 3D spatial realisation (!?) and mental arithmetic.
I got past these ones without much of a hitch.

Once past these, you then have to sit a computer test where you must have VERY quick reactions while getting everything correct. I was reliably informed that with the last section, they are more concerned with avoiding collisions rather than the arithmetic (you'll find out what I mean!:eek
You then have to do two interviews, one with an ATCO and one with a Personnel Officer. I messed up the ATCO one and have to be re-interviewed in November. As soon as you pass all this, you get to have a medical and, TA DA, you find yourself down at Bournemouth.

Good luck with your tests. Let me know how you get on!
