Hi

I have my COMPASS test next week at BAA for the WizzAir scheme.

I have already completed the maths test online with someone watching me via skype, are there additional maths and physics tests on this day also?

In terms of preparing for the test, is latestpilotjobs.com, or pilotaptitudetests.com more like the tests that are completed on the day?

Thanks!

BAA told me that these are once off and you cannot apply again for the september intake if you didn't pass for a cadet programme starting in June

Someone who got rejected this time, was told that he can try again, but not earlier than a year since the last assessment. I don't know if one year from the compass/profile xt or one year from the interviews.

Do you have EU citizenship? This will make a big difference

Latvia (and Lithuania) are both signatures to the Schengen Treaty and therefore required to apply the Schengen acquis. Immigration requirements are likely to be the same as most other EU countries.

Unless you have the right (by birth, naturalisation, or visa,) to live and work in an EU member state, you cannot live and work in an EU member state. Egyptian citizens do not even have the right to visit visa free, and that is reciprocated for EU travel to Egypt.

Smartlynx leases aircraft to many airlines including Asia so i don't have to have Work permit in europe to work for them, for that reason their cadet pilot program for all nationalities

Smartlynx lease the aircraft with the crew as a package. From what I understood, but I may be wrong, is that Smartlynx won't hire you, they will make a contract between them and you as a self employed in your own country. This bypass somehow the working right in EU, but you as a individual have to sort out the right of living in EU.

Hi guys, sorry a little late to the party on this one. I can't seem to find a breakdown of costs for this programme anywhere (waiting for hear back from Wizz themselves). Could anyone enlighten me? Thanks

Hi guys,
What types of exercises can we encounter at maths and physisc. I read that maths aren`t so bad , but how about physics exercises , are so tough ? Can somebody post a model ? And the english test it`s alike IELTS, Cambridge or Toefl , Where you have listening , reading and the interview as speaking ?

Hey guys

I am wondering if someone could share some information about the Profile XT test.
What is this test covering? Beside evaluating the personality (no right and wrong answers), is this test also covering some maths and/or verbal and numerical reasoning?

Thanks in advance!

What do you mean with right and wrong answers? What kind of questions are these? Thanks.

On a psychological test there are no right/wrong answers. Just different answers, that are analyzed based on a algorithm and a result is provided.

And some examples of questions are:
-Do you prefer working on your car or writing and essay?
-On a scale from 1 to 10, how much do you like to spend time with your friends?
