alright, but there are cadets that are American, English, etc. right?
I can understand if they give the test to someone not from these countries, but otherwise it is absurd and a total waste of time, as I would like to know what American, .... or other English mother tongue individual has failed this test.

As far as ICAO goes, if this is true that the ICAO will now require it, then is it not understood that if one already has the ICAO licence he/she already speaks English?
And for this matter, this is crazy too, as many holders of the ICAO are not from countries whose mother tongue is English.
They should not waste time of holders of the FAA or JAA UK licenses, they had to speak English to get them.
So can any Americans confirm if they took an English test since I see many of you are going shortly for an interview?
