12th. Can anyone summarize the new recruitment process for cadet pilot? I take it that the new stages will be:
  • Initial test
  • ICAO English Assessment
  • Initial interview
  • Flying school Assessment
  • Final Interview Stage
Aside from the fact that the initial test is based on cut-e, information regarding the later stages are scarce, considering there are multiple members here who have recently gone through it.

No one's sharing after ~16 person's thru the IT on 12th? There goes the community I guess...

The test was conduction online on mapTQ, which was powered by cut-e as you might have already guessed. (why else would there be a cut-e declaration form huh?)

Despite the invitation email saying "The test will take approx 2.5 hours", most candidates were done within 1-1.5 hours. Gives you an idea how simple the new IT is, vs the previous IT-AT stages.

The test itself was made up of around 8 cut-e components (didn't count). Two of them were personality-related, the rest have been shared on the CXCPP thread. A calculator would be provided for the Applied Numeracy test, so would a pencil and a paper. The content of each component is public information, freely available on cut-e's homepage, so don't ask us what to expect. Do your own research, or don't be a pilot.

One major tip: You can read the instructions and practice indefinitely before each test. Make good use of your break between each test to relax, consolidate, and prepare yourself for the upcoming one. But don't practice too much as it may burn your concentration.

Those who have passed and have been invited to the ICAO English Assessment will have to complete their assessment before July 31. Now, has anyone received the invitation to ICAO English?

FYI

Quick summary on my first round assessment with KA - The assessment consists of cut-e aptitude test (Monitoring, Spatial awareness, Reaction, Multi-tasking, Missile), numerical test and personality test.

I find https://www.latestpilotjobs.com/ the most useful for aptitude test preparation, here are the relevant links regarding the cut-e tests:
https://www.cut-e.com/nc/details/sca...eaction-speed/
https://www.cut-e.com/nc/details/sca...oring-ability/
https://www.cut-e.com/nc/details/sca...l-orientation/
https://www.cut-e.com/nc/details/sca...ng-capability/
https://www.cut-e.com/nc/details/sca...mplex-control/

Calculator, pencil and paper are provided for the numerical test. Topics include percentage, rule of three, unit conversion, area & volume & perimeter. Total 20 questions with time limit 16 minutes.

Hope the above information helps and best of luck everyone!
