How can this test be kosha if you are allowed numerous attempts? Surely aptitude should be measured on a level footing, with all allowed only a certain number of goes? The RAF only allow candidates to sit their aptitude tests twice, with no less than a year between attempts, and in a very much controlled/monitored environment.

Am i missing the point? Are these tests just to establish - to oneself - whether or not its worth forking out 60k+ for the relevant qualifications?

Apologies if i'm jumping to conclusions, but i cant see how such a test would stand up to an employer/selective-flight-school as a measure, or proof, of ability to be a succesful student.

I'll probably have a go though!
