Hi everyone,
Went to Swanwick for my stage 1 today.
Further to earlier posts, it is made up of 5 tests - motivational based on the word document link you are sent in your confirmation email (make sure you check it, because two people today hadn't!), diagramming, spatial reasoning (cubes), numerical and a personality questionnaire at the end.
If you learn the booklet, you shouldn't have any problem with that section of the exams. The diagramming and spatial reasoning were a nightmare, but hey-ho, I tried my best. Numerical was pretty straightforward.
The entire process was 2.5 hours including a short break. There was no Q&A with an ATCO. It was a shame, because, being at Swanwick, there were a hell of a lot of ATCOs around.
Good luck to everyone who is awaiting results, and congratulations to those who are already through!
