Hi everyone,
I have my 6 selection test next month... if it can help you, the school sent me this :
Some more information about the selection tests:
You will do the following tests spread over 2 days: English, Physics, ADAPT-test, personality questionnaire, personal interview and BFA (Basic Flying Assessment). The personality questionnaire can be completed at home before the selection test days. You will receive a separate e-mail with a web link a few days before your assessment days.
The results of your selection tests will be communicated afterwards by e-mail.
The payment of 400,00 for the selection process must be done on the first assessment day at our academy itself. You can do this by credit card (Bancontact/Mister Cash, VISA, Vpay, Maestro, and MasterCard), NOT in cash.
Physics test:
This is a written multiple choice test. You are allowed to bring a one line display calculator, with sin, cos and tan
Calculators with memory are not allowed.
These are the important subjects:
Basic physics sizes (length, mass, angle, t°, volume, speed, acceleration)
Units (meter, kilogram, second, amps)
Distance travelled, speed, acceleration
Weight, mass, density and volume
Newtons law, inertia, forces
Determination of centre of gravity
Work, energy, power (kinetic energy, pressure energy)
Thermometric scales: °C, °F, °K
Pressure, density, t° of a liquid or a gas
Perfect gases law, Boyle-Mariotte law, Gay-Lussac law, Daltons law
Change of state of a liquid/gas/solid
Basics of electricity: DC and AC current, tension, equivalent resistance, Ohm
Basics of magnetism: magnetic field, permanent magnet, lines of flux
Question Example:
A quantity of gas (p = 3 x 105 Pa, T=300K) is compressed until the half of its initial volume and is heated to 70°C. What is the final gas pressure?
(Answer: P2= 6, 86 105Pa)
Determine the weight (in Newton) of a sphere that has a volume of 1,1 x 10-7 m3 and a density of 2,7 kg/dm3 (gravitation acceleration: 9.81m/s2)
(Answer: 2, 91x10-3)
3 resistances of 5Ω are placed in parallel. Find the value of a unique equivalent resistance.
(Answer: 1.67Ω)
English test:
This is a computer-based test which is focused on general English vocabulary.
Basic Flight Assessment:
This is an aptitude test which evaluates the basic skills required for flying, such as:
Handling skills
Multi-tasking
Co-ordination
It also assesses the learning curve and takes about 30 minutes. No preparation for this test is required.
ADAPT:
This is a computer based testing system which includes the following elements:
Progressive Maths - Maths questions which get progressively more difficult as the test progresses. Some of the topics covered include algebra, trigonometry, factorising quadratics and Speed/Distance/Time.
Progressive Physics - Physics questions which get progressively more difficult as the test progresses. Some of the topics covered by the test includes acceleration, relative speed and kinetic energy.
Cognitive - Assess a wide range of aptitudes including Working Memory, Perceptual Speed & Accuracy and Spatial Relationship Reasoning. This cognitive assessment is designed for Ab Initio candidates.
FAST - A multi-tasking and learning assessment made up of physical, cognitive and situational elements. The aim for the candidates is to prioritize and manage multiple activities and learn from previous experience to improve future performance.
Fixed Wing 1&2 - A conceptual flying task which aims to measure co-ordination and accuracy. The test works using a desktop joystick setup to navigate to waypoints around a designated route.
Co-ordination Assessment - This assessment is designed to test a candidate's hand eye co-ordination and dexterity. Using a joystick the candidate must aim to hold a ball in the center of a target circle whilst it tries to move away from the center.
Personal interview:
Your personal interview will partly be conducted in Dutch or French (if this is your mother tongue) and a part will be in English.
