Skills Test- Oxford and Cabair

Hello all!

I've recently applied to OAT and Cabair for integrated training (hope to start August/September 2007 after my degree). In August I did the skills assesment at Cabair, and then hoped to do OAT a few days later... The Cabair test was a little bit of a disaster, I passed the Physics and Maths, but upon PILAPT--- oops! Pattern recognition was ok, as was a few others... but my overall score was 'Low' at a 3... In particular... the little aeroplane flying through the hoops was a grand ZERO. Taking this into account, and also being told that the Oxford one was going to be harder- I postponed the Oxford until Christmas.

I've re-applied to try again for Cabair at Christmas too.

So... In light of my previous failures, does anyone have any advice on what I can do to best prepare myself for future tests? I was told to do flight-sim on my PC with joystick.. and this is coming along ok.

I was told somewhere that you either have the skills or you don't. I want to ignore that, I really do!

Thankyou all,

Daisy x x x
