Can anyone shed some light on the:

A- 90min "Flight Planning Excercise"
B- 75min Aptitude Test
C- 60min group excercise

Which are all conducted during Stage 2.

Thanks

A - Flight Planning Ex - You'll be placed with one of the other candidates in a room and given a quick overview of what's expected. You and the other candidate will be left alone and asked to work on a flight plan - using very simple maths to derive the plan. The recruiter will re-enter the room and get you & your co-worker to talk them through the flight plan and how you got to where you are. They may then throw some spanners in the works to see how your lateral thinking is. It's all very straight forward and quite enjoyable.

B - Aptitude test - Worry the least about this. Just answer each question as it comes up on your computer screen as quickly & honestly as possible. That's it. It only took me 45 minutes, but they allow longer.

C - 60 min Group Ex - All candidates (up to 6 of you) are given a problem and little bits of individual information each that will help you possibly find a solution. You all have to work together within a short period of time (45min) to reach a solution or decision based on the info they've given you. The answer ISN'T important. It's all about how you work as a team member: the way you interact, speak up when necessary, accept other's opinions and shut your mouth when it's not your turn to speak.

Hope this helps others - and good luck!
