I used PAT's SPA Package, similar to what AirbusBarkingDog recommended; it was great for building familiarity and practising.
Regarding the Eagle test, please follow guidance from the British Airways recruitment team and
avoid excessive practice. BA identified an “over-practice” effect, where repeated practice can lead to poorer performance due to the development of unhelpful habits. No online version accurately replicates the official assessment at Waterside. This assessment is less about skill and more about your stress tolerance, ability to follow instructions, and cognitive capacity under pressure.
Feeling challenged during the test is therefore expected; everyone I spoke to made mistakes. Just follow the instructions, keep going and remain calm - good luck!
