Hi there, I attended selection in April/May this year and passed.
I've not heard anything about Cut-e replacing PILAPT but, Cut-e will be used during the selection process.
It is true what is said about SkyTest, I bought it and found that its much better to use just to get familiar with whats expected as it looks the same and works the same however, there are subtle but important differences between PILAPT and SkyTest. On the day, I would recommend taking your time with reading the instructions carefully and making use of the practice you'll get before commencing on each component of PILAPT. Be confident in your abilities I'd say!
The interview is you chance to show your passion for aviation, and you'll be asked why you want to be a pilot in order to show this. As well as this, I would recommend thinking about past experiences which involved one or more of the 5 key skills - communication, leadership, team work, situational awareness and decision making - and your feelings during those events.
Remember though, there is a mental (pen and paper no calc) GCSE level maths test which consists of 15 questions done in 15 minutes and a group task as well, both as important to prepare for!
My biggest tip is research and practice - there are tons of cadet blogs whom have posted excellent insights into the selection which are worthwhile reading.
Good luck.
