Way to go dogleg... I passed the sim chk.. So I´m waiting for the final interview.
For you guys attending the 1. Stufe, here is what I wrote to another ppruneguy asking about it:
>
> Well, the theoretical test was pretty easy - only cpl questions - most of
> them (90 %) american faa questions. Check out a book called kershner.
>
> The next day they have different computerbased tests. 'ntelligence:
> raventest, numerical reasoning etc; memorycheck: 20 german words and their
> turkish counterparts, words=4 digit numbers, 20 pictures, a roaddescription,
>
> a story about a german forrestfire, letters combined with different figures
> etc etc.. You have about 1-2 minutes to memorize it before the next task is
> comming, but the difficult part is that you have to memorize it all before
> you can answer. Make yourself some mnemonic tecniques. reaction test: 5
> different colors pop up on the screen and you need to hit the appropiate key
>
> - here are the keys: blue 1, white 3, green 6, red 8, yellow 0... there are
> also tones: one tone j (or k?), dobbel d.. practise that. the simultanious
> capacitytest consists of 5 different gauges that need to be held in the
> green arc + mathematical questions and a number in the middle that needs to
> be held between a max and a min (the one in the middle is the most
> important). See it as a crosschk test. 139 psyk questions: agree or not
> agree.. a ridiculous rorschachtest... a about a thousand more tests) It
> takes approx 3 hours.. and generally you can choose betw english or german,
> but a few are only in german.. good advise is to bring along food and
> beverages. It is very hard, but keep fighting.. some of it will leave you
> with the feeling that you are an idiot, but i guess thats the purpose.
> Furthermore check out pilots.de if you speak german.
> The second day the psyk interview also takes place: typical questions like
> why becoming a pilot, 3 good sides 3 bad, family, education, why tyrolean,
> what will motivate you as a captain in, say, 10 years etc.
> finally the discussion, where you sit along a couple of german
> pilotwannabees and discuss a subject you pick from a bowl. Subjects like:
> active or passive holidays, mine was: ist das risiko des aktienmarkts
> einschaetzbar (say what?).. and then you discuss it in german.. so you need
> to be fluent..
