GAPAN test..

Hello,

If I remember rightly, its best to think of the "dot" as the nose of the aircraft, - so to move the dot "up" ( towards the top of ) the screen ( relative to the crosshairs ) pull back on the 'stick, - likewise with pedals...
- But like I said on an earlier post, I only managed an average score when I did the tests... mind you - I missed the pre-test briefing - and afterwards it became apparent that the other candidates were "advised" on some helpful strategies -especially regarding the short term memory tests...
It occurs to me that its probably helpful to practise similar tests... maybe the EPST (www.epst.com) IPAS program..
Some might disagree, but I know of no human activity that can't be improved by practice.. - its well known for example that IQ scores ( supposedly fixed ) can improve if one practices enough tests ( and they needn't be of the same type...

- Good luck with the tests.
