Most of the airline assesments are complete tosh anyway. I sat the aptitude tests for a well known charter airlines cadet scheme two years ago. I have the letter then sent after - "our tests have shown you lack the technical and mental aptitude to succeed at flight training".
I passed all written exams first time (average just under 90%) and first time IR pass.
I regard my license as a bit more then some trophy. They are what I won as kid for playing cricket and stuff. But getting the CPL/IR was always going to be the easy part. Getting the job is the tough part.
