So, you're Mr. Skywalker's older brother then?

About the tests:
There is no real way to prepare for them, just make sure that you're relaxed and that you've slept well the night before.
If you're coming from a bit further away, try to arrive the night before. Normally, Eurocontrol will pay you a hotel room for the night and that way you're well rested instead of wired from the trip.

If you're good/lucky in the second phase, you get a call the same day to invite you for an interview the day after, or even a day after that.
If you were lucky, the interviewers (one MUAC supervisor, a Luxemburg instructor and someone from Brussels HQ) will notice and probably not accept you.
If you're good, you'll probably pass on to wait a couple of agonizing weeks before you get the call you passed.
The only thing to do after that is pass the medical examinations, if you're not in good health (mental & physical) you're not getting done.

After that (finally) you get to start in Luxemburg for an 8 month course, and that's were the good part starts. First 4 months of pure theory & exams, after that 4 months of basic radar training (no procedural, thankgod). Life in Luxembourg is easy but expensive, there's no need to study your butt off, but you definitely have to work to get through. Once you pass that as well, you'll get to go to Maastricht and start studying again for a rapid succession of exams (which is more or less where i'm at right now).
