This would not work.

The scores you got when you were twenty would not be the same when you atr thirty. Even if you answered the same questions in the same way in the same time and with the same accuracy.

You see your "raw score" is fed through a statistical instrument best thought of as a filter. Filters include things like race, age, religion, sex, parentage etc.

Its why page one always ask those kind of questions.

Your raw score carried forward though the years would still need to be processed with your current status including age. This is what costs the money.

The tests are statisically proved to work. The validity for pilot aptitude testing is one of the most robust amongst vocational tests.
