A couple of tests. Firstly instrument reading, in which you have 7 or 8 instruments displaying various things (eg. airspeed, altitude, etc) and it will ask you for a value for a given variable and you have to quickly identify the right instrument and give the right answer. The reading on the gauges will change between questions so it isn't a memory game at all. Various exercises where it will show the instrument reading for banking, inclination, orientation, etc, and you have to choose the correct silhouette of an aircraft that matches the instruments. Last one is a math test. It is simpler from an educational stand point than the YOU day math test (you don't need to know any formulas or how to factorise or anything), but harder from a general math aptitude perspective. A lot of math questions thrown at you where you have to estimate the answer (eg. `12 x (3x149) = ? a) 5000 b) 5500 c)7000 d) 4500. I'd recommend practicing on Arithmetic Game ? Online Speed Drill to get your speed up. Also, make sure you know what fractions correspond to decimals (eg. 1/8 = 0.125), this will be very helpful. Good luck mate! Let us know how it goes.
