Good luck with your test..
Any proper Dr of the head will tell you that the psychometric testing is a load of rubbish the human mind and the many different characters well all have make it too hard to categories us all even pilots and aircrew.

The tests the Mr Lars peddles are a money making scheme that he is very good at selling to H.R.

You can prepare for most parts of the test apart from two them being the:

''UP UP LEFT BLUE AND THE DOWN DOWN RED'' done at increased speed.

And the tapping test at the end.

This link will take you to a useful webpage set up by a pilot who has gone through the system makes good reading.

Test and Interview

Also if you can get on to amazon and purchase some mechanical comprehension and spatial awareness books and get the nose in the books. If you know some one in education ask them to get hold of J.C raven advanced progressive matrices book and use that as well.

CHC, CHC Ireland and Bristow's Norway use these tests. The other aviation company's see them for what they are.

If you fail the test it is almost impossible to get a retest unless you where very close to the overall mark of between 2 to 9 using the Stain's scale. I believe the basic pass for pilot is 6 on the scale.

What ever happens on your test day do NOT hold any weight as to what the Norwegian says as thats his opinion he is a very polite man but pompous all the same and believes his own propaganda.

If you wish to know anymore p.m me.

Good Luck again.
