Math Aptitude Testing (CTC/L3)

Hi all,

I need some insight into the math testing during the pilotaptitude tests, specifically how CTC (now L3 I think) test.

Practicing online I have found differences in the answerstyles on different websites. These differentstyles require very different approaches to the questions.

Let me give an example:

1280 X 97 Nowthe answer to this is 124,160.


On PilotAptitudeTest.com the four possible answers tend to looklike this:

a) 110,000
b) 150,000
c) 124,000
d) 200,000

Answers like this mean that you can simplify the question to1280 X100 in your head and get the answer correct.


On FlightDeckFriend.com the answers tend to look like this:

a) 124,100
b) 124,150
c) 124,160
d) 124,170


Answers like this force you to fully work out the answer onpaper to get it right, much more time consuming and also a very different skill.

If anyone who has sat the CTC assessment tests could let meknow what style the questions are in I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks.
