Thumbs up Slection process/ Assessment day - Test to get into fligh scool

So for you to get into a flight school, you'd have to pass some tests. I'm taking a test soon with Pilot Training College and I was wondering what should I expect?
I just graduated high school. I have NO IDEA how to prepare for this. the ''test'' itself costs about 350$ and I don't want that money to go to waste. so I just want to ace it the first time.

I've been told there will be an English, Physics and Maths tests. most questions I believe are going to be multiple choice questions, no calculator allowed and there is a time limit. there will also be an interview. but ...
What do I do? I know basic stuff about airplanes, so I'd expect a few questions like how an airplanes flies etc. the real deal is the psychometric test, what the hell is that? and how do I prepare for it? another thing is the math and physics. what should I know? I also heard there were some joystick stuff. (place ball in the middle) I have no idea what is that about.
I'm really nervous about this. I don't want to go there knowing nothing and just throw 350 dollars away. I desperately want to be accepted in my first chance.

So are there any websites online I can look through? or anything? anything would be a great help. because I just have no idea how to prepare for this AT ALL.
