Hey Guys,

Sorry to hear some didn't make it past the aptitude tests at Oxford. How did you feel it went ?

I'm through to the next stage and felt my scores were something like this:
Memory 6/7
Compass, RBI, Horizon 7/7 (I got this straight away and seemed it ran out of questions for me as it finished the test with 2 mins left..)
Slalom 6/7
Hand Foot 3/7 (My brain seemed to want to push the wrong pedal to correct)
MultiTasking Autopilot 5/7 (seemed that when you entered a value, it stopped you cancelling an alert)
Maths 6/7 (Completed all the answers in the time)
Physics 13/15

There is an element of luck involved. I'm sure that if the 80 that were selected last year chose a different FTO, different selection day etc then not all would have progressed. Also the majority of BA's pilots didn't have to pass these or similar tests, they either arrived before HR introduced them or have became BA pilots through mergers / aquisitions (BMI, British Caledonian etc etc)

You might find that you have better luck with a different test battery at another school next year..
