Test Day

I hope you have fun on your selection day, it can be a bit gruelling but its kinda good fun.

You'll start off with a breif introduction from whoever is running the day first, then be split into 4 groups (was 3 at mine as wernt too many there but same idea). Two groups will do the motivation and reasoning tests in the morning, and the other two will sit personality / learning style questionaires and watch dvds / speak with an ATCO (we had no ATCO ) and then swap round in the afternoon.

Motivation paper is based on that info they give you, but there are some other questions like speed, distance time type things (remember both planes are flying - one isn't standing still , few questions i thought you might not get from it so do a bit of background research to be sure of good marks.

Other reasoning tests such as numerical computation, diagramming, spatial reasoning etc are also given (4 in total i think) to test how your brain works basically! You don't have much time to complete these in, you are not really supposed to finish all of the questions anyway - the idea is to put you under pressure. You can find some examples on www.shlgroup.com

Day scheduled to finish at 5 but ours finished about 3.30, depends how quickly they move on and give for lunch etc, should have an hour but we had 30 mins because not much point wasting time doing nothing!

Hope this helps and good luck!
