Aptitude testing only proves one thing conclusively, and that is you are capable or not capable of passing aptitude tests.
As so many have now been compromised by various "copy cat" versions, I am surprised that they are still used in their present versions.

As a well prepared candidate will have practiced on the appropriate copy cat versions, nothing less than 95% should be achieved. Their credibility is now deeply flawed.

If a potential junior birdman aspires to become an aviator, then take yourself off to a gliding or flying club, get yourself airborne.

A competent instructor will know after say 5 hours whether you have what it takes. Setting the known attitude and TRIMMING accurately is one of the acid tests.
