Hi,
I am currently in phase in which I must study for flight school aptitude tests. As I read on their website they have pretty difficult entry conditions. I think they test you in math, logical thinking, cognitive skills, sensory-motor skills etc.
Now I have question:
-Is out there any good book that is made especially for aptitude test
preparation?
-I think I should improve my math and logical thinking so I am also looking for this
-What type of physics is included in test(calculating accelaration,electric engineering...) and if you recommend any book or website for exercises.
-Any other books or websites for preparation altough I prefer books.

Thank you in advance.

Get SkyTest. They say you either have the aptitude or not, but you can actually prepare for these stupid tests created by HR monkeys.
A year ago I failed a COMPASS test for an airline miserably (I was the only one not to pass out of 16), took it seriously and practised ever since. Some months later I got a better job at an airline that runs a somewhat tougher selection process in terms of psychometric and I passed it with some practice.

For maths and physics review you can use Khan Academy which is 100% free, or use CAE Maths and Physics CBTs.

Thanks for answer!
Appreciate it, I just have one more question:
Do you maybe know what types of physics are included in those tests.
Thank you in advance

I can't, but I would assume the topics covered by the OAA CBT should do. Simple electricity, vectors, etc. Nothing too complicated.
Both the psychometric tests I performed did not have any physics questions, but some do.

Hi PilotLH350,what school are you applying to? Because it depends on the school.
