You're college qualification wont give you an advantage over someone who hasn't.
It stands out, but they're mainly looking for someone who can be moulded into a good engineer.
However, it will help you personally, knowing the system and how a/c maintenance works will help you heaps when you get into an airline.
It sucks, I know, I have that qualification, and I felt like I wasted 2 years, but it does help when you get into an airline, it'll also help you get through the assessments. (You've done a slightly higher level of Math, been studying mechanical units, and been writing essays)
Back to the initial question,
I had an assessment with Monarch in 2011, The day included a quick presentation, then followed by Maths, English & Mechanical reasoning tests. After a quick 30 min break, we had 45 minutes doing a practical assessment, the day was over at about 3pm.
If you want to shoot me any questions, inbox me, I was in your situation myself before starting with another airline in early 2012.
Its a great career to be in, but its pretty damn hard to get into it.
