G'day PPruners, long time reader first time poster.
I'm a student pilot, solo nav stage, but what is concerning me is that I have not made it through the 3 aptitude tests that I have attempted for the REX & Jetstar cadetships and the RAAF. I'm not the smartest chap around, but I have worked hard and achieved 90+ grades in school, university, PPL exam & one of the CPL exams that I have done so far so I'm assuming that something must be upstairs
How accurate / important are these tests when determining your ability as a commercial pilot? I understand that due to the limited number of places available for cadetships the pass threshold for these tests is often fairly high, but it's still disheartening when a computer tells you that you don't meet the required aptitude to fly a plane!
Thanks.
