Pilot Aptitude

Hi,

First time posting although been reading the forums for years

I have recently sat the ADAPT aptitude test for the EasyJet MPL on my second attempt. First time I missed out on the physics component, but this time around I passed physics but failed the FAST test. It has got me thinking if I am actually cut out to be a pilot I know this assessments are mandatory for most airlines once you start the process of applying. I am due to start ATPL theory in January and going to commit fully to the training. I am concerned I will get to the other end and will struggle to get through this aptitude assessments making me unemployable. I have never had any issues with GCSE/A levels exams, but I will admit I was very disheartened when I failed this exam as I had been practicing and revising for this assessment and this opportunity is now closed to me...

Is there any resources/company out there to see if I have a natural aptitude to get through the airline assessments as I know flight schools tend to accept anyone with there aptitude exams as you are a paying customer at the end of the day. I have established a very stable career in the finance industry, but want to follow my dream, but if I get to the other end after forking out for the training and I'm ineligible then its money down the drain. I passed my PPL in minimum hours, but I would put that down to the amazing flight instructor I had

Thanks in advance,
Sam
