A teenager would pass this with his eyes closed. It's "challenging" because you are time pressured; You probably won't finish. If you can do + - / * you're set :P

Same for the science --> there isn't any. No linear acceleration, no centrifugal force, no momentum. Nothing scientific whatsoever. Just plain old mental maths you do every day when you go grocery shopping!

Again, I did the "advanced" test. I doubt the normal COMPASS would be any different. I will say - whoever you're testing with, they can still give you other tests as well. Maybe they will ask you basic physics, or maths that might make a teenager take out a calculator :P It's just not part of the COMPASS formula, so I can't help you with that! But even then, the ATPLs aren't scientific or mathematical either, so what could they really ask that would surprise you?

Don't worry about it mate. You'll be fine Best of luck and try to enjoy the day!
This info is really good. Thanks buddy. I am using the COMPASS test on LatestPilotJobs.com.. I am only finding the short term memory a bit difficult to memories all 4 values. Is Advance Flight Control also part of the COMPASS ? and what about Aviation English? I have attached 2 screen shots. Please help me.
Thanks
