Selection Tests wed 26th July

Hi! Is anyone going for the selection tests in london this wednesday?
Do you think i will need a calculator for the mental arithmetic? Im really worried as some of the practise tests on shl.co.uk where quite difficult!

Being a mental maths test would generally rule out a calculator, I hope!

Anneka,

I think what the others have been trying to tease out of you is which organisation you've applied to. Although it might seem that most of the message traffic here is UK/NATS based, this forum is open to ATC topics from anywhere in the world.

Guys, I know there's a NATS test day in London on the 26th, so I'd imagine that's the one!

Ahhhh ATC - I thought you meant for pilot sponsorship or studies!

I still think you'll need to use your brain rather than the battery operated equivalent, or certainly at least for the selection stage.

All the best though, hope you do well!
