I've just been reading through this thread for information regarding stage one tests. It's been very useful, thanks to everyone who has contributed.

I've noticed people asking for help on arithmetic questions and I've noticed certain questions such as:

You travel 611 NM. How much fuel will you need if you burn 60 kgs per hour, and are travelling at 705 kts?
You travel 12 miles. How much fuel will you need if you burn 150 kgs per hour, and are travelling at 90 mph?
A plane at FL310 is instructed to descend to FL280, if the plane is descending at a rate of 1200 ft per minute, how long will the plane take to descend to FL280.
Can anyone confirm/deny whether these type of questions are in the SDT section of the tests? I was expecting questions only like the following:

"At 64 mph, how far do you travel in 2 hours and 30 mins?"
"What speed covers 68 miles in 20 mins?"

Just merely SDT questions, however the questions I have quoted involve fuel, NM, flight levels, etc and this has thrown me a bit.
