Aptitude testing for Stage 1 CX cadet program

Hey there,
I have my first stage for the cx cadet program on June 8th. Just wondering if there is anyone out there who has a good practice internet site for some of the tests we will be doing on maths and aptitude testing??? Also is there anyone also attending on June 8th with me? look forward to hearing from some cx applicants! Cheers,
GraceW

Is anyone going to initial tests coming from Sydney? And if so which flight on which day? (hoping I might bump into someone also going to HK)

btw I'm heading to HK on the 5th of June on CX110 (the 0730 flight from SYD) for my course briefing.

What batch are you folks going for ? When is the next batch starting (I thought CP33 starts in June but looks like they are still interviewing till then?)?

This should be for CP34. Briefing for CP33 is on the same day as the initial tests =, so given it takes about 1 month to get through the interview process, you should be one of the first to be interviewed for CP34

so they will take the next 15 months (say they probably have to wait till #33 to be completed with training before starting with #34) interviewing people for batch #34? Is that typically the amount of time they spend to interview people for a batch?

34 should start in September/October of this year. Each year has roughly 3-4 CPs

June 8th!

Hey June 8th interview people! the big day is nearly here...3 more days to go. I dont know about you but I'm getting pretty nervous! So if you see a tiny girl in a black suit with reddish hair looking like she might pass out on the 8th of June, come say hi! Can't wait to meet you all in person. I'm sure we are all going to get through and then be CP34 buddies!

CM6966- I'd be happy to do some study prep with you! I would have gone through the process before the 10th so I can help you out if you'd like. Just let me know

Hi Grace, this is very nice of you but I did not read your reply until now anyways did you go to the second interview this morning? And how long did it take for them to get back to you and tell you if you get thru?

Thanks, CM6966
