Mark,
I will be there tomorrow too, have done them once before.....
Don't worry
Read the paperwork they have sent you as you will be tested on this (no multiguess on this one)
Try the examples sent out to you (opened out cubes etc)
you will be tested on these sort of things......the cubes (not nice) number and letter sequences etc. Don't be worried if you don't finish them all it is designed to be tough !
There is an OPQ where they ask you about yourself to see that you will fit in with the rest of the students. This is marked by a computer ( you just fill in little boxes)
There is another test I think it is called LSQ and again it is computer marked........whatever you do don't lie on these tests as they can tell, they ask about 250 questions but all are very nearly the same and any inconsistencies will stand out
Good Luck
CYA there ;-) PS Don't forget your ID/Passport

Good luck to both of you - everything said so far is spot on; just read the stuff they gave you and try your best, and be honest in the personality questionnaires. At the end of the day as long as you've done your best nobody can argue [at least in theory...! Somebody always does

MCH2000, take no notice of the prattish comments from 2 sheds. I have been in ATC for 39 years and have enjoyed my career as an ATCO in CAA/NATS. IT is and will remain for a long time into the future a great career with plenty of job satisfaction and the pay is pretty good too. Unfortunately there are some whingers in all professions.
A 34 hour work week and a salary potential of £62k cannot be all bad.
Go for it and good luck

You are mad and I'm sorry to have to pick you up on YOUR prattish comments as this isn't really the place. I welcome you taking you post to a separate thread. Just like your name you are a little in the past.
Lads (or lassies) this IS a great career, but be aware of the changes taking place - they may even ask you about the general political picture.
The best thing you can have in ATC is an interest in aviation - that may sound stupid, but it makes the job possible. People who want to do the job for the £62k don't oft succeed.
The best advice I can offer is just relax, don't try too hard and let your enthusiasm for aircraft come through.
Best of Luck

MCH 2000,
I'd be interested to know what exactly happened on your selection test day as I may be attempting the same thing shortly myself.
Hopefully this will help future applicants as well as me at the next recruitment round.
Thanks
Drop now now now!

THE DAY
=======
We all sat in a room and a woman spoke to us about the day.
Basically, there are 4 groups: which all split up and do the tests at different times. There is also a chat with an ATC officer, which is very helpful and useful (courtesy of "No Speed Restriction" !!!)
Tests are on what everyone else has mentioned on this thread...but the cubes test is very hard!!
When is your date?

To Everyone:
Thank you to everyone for help on this topic.
I got the results yesterday, and I passed.
Next stage, the interview: I want to open a new thread for help on this. Please be as helpful for the interviews!
Thank you,
MCH2k
