thanks and some test information

Thanks guys,

about the selection process,
paper tests:
I can tell you that I am far from being a natural mathematician and I have done well.
they provide you with a calculator, make you sure you know it's functions before the test starts, you don't want to loose time on it ("6 in the power of...!!!! where is this damn thing?!").
I am not a natural English speaker and I passed the verbal reasoning, so just be quick and focused and you'll be fine.

Pilapt test:
be concentrated, take your time, you are on your own in the class room, no competition feeling like in Ctc's.
set your Joystick where you want it and enjoy they game...

interview:
I had it with a senior instructor, an ex-military pilot, and he was the nicest man.
he doesn't play around, nor hiding an tricking questions.
just be yourself.
he will give you a problem to solve in 10 minutes, just do your work, he will be looking at you to see that you don't freak out under some time pressure.
there is no "one answer".

my advise:
take the two days accommodation they offer and split the test between the two.
sleep well, eat well, be yourself in the interview.
meet the guys at the bar, but don't drink too heavy - stay focused.

that's all about it.
for any further information - shoot.
