Basic checking; 2 sections, 1 is numbers 1 is letters. 5 mins each section, 40 questions each section.
Spatial awareness (cube nets); 20 mins, 40 questions.
Diagramming (sequencing); 20 mins, 50 questions. Use the scrap paper they give you to draw out the more complex sequences, massive help and saves time.
It flies by, don’t worry if you don’t finish every section, have read you’re not supposed to.
Had mine on 25th July at Manchester.
I answered 38/40 on each section of basic checking.
31/40 on spatial awareness.
40/50 on diagramming.
Motivation paper is mostly based on the 18 page document they give you to learn. Its multiple choice, 30 questions, each with 4 similar looking answers, easy to distinguish if you’ve learnt the stuff. There’s a few questions not from the document, which is a bit unfair if you ask me. Look up flight distances between cities in nm, I don’t know, London to; Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, NY, Brussels, Paris. Also, did you know aircraft prefer to take off and land into the wind? Well they do. If there’s info in the document on craft stats memorise a couple per day if you’ve time, and make a chart and practice drawing/writing it out. My motivation paper had a couple of Q’s on the Boeings, but I don’t know how often they change the thing(learn the Boeings).
It also has D/S/T arithmetic Q's, try this link for examples, Q's 3-8;

If you pass they’ll send an email/update your application page, so log on and check, inviting you to complete an on-line personality questionnaire. 104 Q’s repeated every so often worded slightly differently, each with 4 mostly win/win or lose/lose answers from which you have to select most/least typical of yourself.
Unlimited time, but they say should take about 40 mins. Be honest and consistent, and try not to dwell or overthink. Careful though, this thing is failable, but take whatever consolation you want from the fact that it doesn’t mean you’re a bad person if it doesn’t show them the profile of you that they’re looking for, while you blubber into your hands and your saliva shortcircuits your laptop keyboard.
Try this site if you haven’t already seen it, s’very useful, and if you dig around it specifically details the 3 aspects of the computer tests you’ll do if you make it to stage 2.

Try these links for practice, do the Q's that are relevant, the same as the examples Nats give you.
