Not being funny here, but we're all competing against each other for very few places - why on earth would anyone want to help someone else, and potentially lose out! 
Just a thought....

yes they do ask questions on your application. last year i had an hour long interview, however i must say it was very relaxed. How id best describe it was an interview to find out how you ticked, what kind of person you are, they asked questions on the application, but i think when they did they were more conversation starters. The questions were regarding the eassay questions and your work experience. i have to say the interview was really the most relaxed part for me, but its horses for courses, some of the people who i was with that day prefered the written test or the pilot aptitude.
i didnt get any further but i really enjoyed the day and met some really nice fellow applicants.
BTW i applied again this year and i have not heard back from FTE yet.
. regardless i am going flying in 2 hours and doing it my way

Need some advice with OAA stage 1 booking:
You have to book it through 2 websites: the BA website and the OAA website (where you pay)
I booked it though BA, but now need to change the booking.
Shall I just book it for the new date on the OAA and leave the BA one alone? I assume its less important because its just simply registering a date with BA..
Hmm..

It's clearly written on FTE Jerez Website :
" Once your application has been assessed and accepted, you will progress to Phase II of the selection process. Phase II consists of a series of questions that you will be required to answer within a given time. If successful you will progress to Phase III which is a two-day assessment at a venue (soon to be confirmed) in the UK"

Application
Sent my application on Thursday and got a reply from OAA today.
I want to practice similar tests and as so does anyone have any ideas of good aptitude test books? Having looked on book sellers websites reviews of the available books are not encouraging.
Best of luck to all applying.

ULTIMATE PSYCHOMETRIC TESTS
Mike Bryon
ISBN: 978-0-7494-5308-4
Very similar to what you can expect to sit for the 'written' tests.
As for spending a small fortune for computer based tests, don't bother. Use MSFS or similar. The space shuttle landing sim on iPad/phone uses exactly the same motor skills employed by the brain.
£250 for assesment? That's a money making venture if ever I saw one. How the price has risen that far is beyond me.

Those who have been already accepted by FTE, when did you finish your application? I started mine several minutes after they opened it but finished it a week after not to do things in a hurry. No reply yet.
I was taking things quite calmly, but it was opening this thread and getting super nervous.
