NATS Recruitment Process - Stage 2

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone who has been through stage 2 could answer some of my questions:

1. What is the exact contents of stage 2? (Motivation paper, computer tests and interview?)

2. Is there another personality test at this stage?

3. Is the motivation paper multiple choice again?

4. What type of questions are asked in the interview? (All personal? Technical questions? NATS History?)

5. Are there maths/speed,distance,time questions that arn't in the atc sim computer test?

6. In the motivation paper is there anything that's not in the provided booklet? (Distance between cities etc?)

7. What format is the aircraft recognition section in the motivation paper? (Is this part quite tricky?)

8. I've read somewhere that the three computer based tests, are:-

Sort Task. .The task requires candidates to sort objects (coloured shapes and numbers) into categories by given rules. The candidate must take account of occasional messages which alter the way objects are sorted and monitor whether the object to be sorted matches a given stimulus which changes from time to time.

Relative Direction Task. .This is a two part test, in the first the candidate is presented with a dot, an arrow and words left or right. The tasks is to say whether the word correctly describes the position of the dot relative to the arrow. The second part is similar except sometimes the arrow is shown from behind (represented by the arrow in outline) but the task is still to describe the position of the dot for someone standing in front of the display.

Moving Objects Task. .In this test a series of objects (represented by numbers) move across the screen at constant speed in different directions. The task is to identify which if any of the objects will collide and to remove the minimum numbers of objects to prevent all collisions. In the second part of the test multiple choice arithmetic questions appear at the bottom of the screen simultaneously with the main tasks to introduce an element of multi tasking.
Is this correct or have they changed?

9. For those on the morning slot, did you get away on time? (Got a plane to catch)

Thanks for any help!
