The GAPAN aptitude tests are a good - but not foolproof - indicator of your ability to untertake and pass flying training to a professional level within the normal timescale. Of course a 'high' aptitude result is nothing to get too excited about, because all the work is still ahead of you, but if you had a 'low' aptitude score perhaps you might think carefully before investing upwards of £50,000 on training that may well not lead to a job.
Think of these tests as a kind of reassurance that, if you put the work in, you have every chance of succeeding in qualifying for an airliner's flight deck. Just hope the jobs are there when you're ready!
As a last point, remember the RAF underwrites its entire aircrew recruiting policy with these tests, and they have found the correlation to be very significant.
