Hello,
Are we allowed to use a calculator or pencil and paper on the math tests?

Never taken an aptitude test, but isn't the math part more about mental arithmetic?

It depends which school you are applying to.

CTC and Oxford don't allow calculators but FTEjerez do.

paper and pencil for most but so easy just work on your speed. Some schools give you formulae sheets as well.

I used the latest pilot jobs prep package and got 98 percent for maths and physics and I hadn't touched it in 10 years. just do a few hours a day and time yourself. use BBC bitesize for anything that you just can't understand.

Also YouTube has a plethora of videos that can help you. Khan Academy videos are extensive and free, tecmath has some neat mental math videos.

Also some airlines still do non-calculator tests. I had to do one recently and it's been years since I've done pencil and paper maths. Although 45 mins revision of short multiplication and long division and I was fairly confident. Then just practiced for speed. :ok:
