Stage One, September 07th, LONDON
Hello
Just out of interest, is there anyone booked on the stage one assessment in London on 07th September?
Also, for those who have recently sat the stage one tests, do the mental arithmetic tests contain algebra questions? The reason i ask is ebcause ive had to spend the last couple of weeks brushing up on my mental arithmetic and im not sure whether or not it will be of any use spending the next few days learning linear equations etc...
Cheers

Fantastic! I was starting to panic there since the last time i used the grey stuff was a few years ago when i took my GCSEs.
All i need to do now is try and figure out how the cubes tests work
Fingers crossed ill be alright on the day.

Hi,
Yeah it is deffo worth looking up to see how a cube folds up/patterns, etc, as I found this part of the test the hardest, but you might find it easier, but I would deffo scratch up on it if I were you, as I now wish I spent more time on that part!!
If ya want anymore advice, just ask,
Cheers all.

Folding up the cube in your head is the easy part... it's when they start rotating the folded up cubes that the fun really starts...
Simple mathematics fast and accurate... anything more complicated and we reach for that Jeppeson circular computer thing... even then, the Eurocat does most of those calculations for you now anyway... all I seem to do now is roll RADAR-displayed aircraft groundspeeds around in my head to work out how long it'll take a faster-following aircraft to catch up to the slow aircraft in front...
eg. jet displaying 480 Knots ground speed catching up to a bug-smasher showing 120 Knots ground speed... you measure 53 Nautical Miles between the aircraft... how long until the distance between the two aircraft has reduced to the minimum RADAR Separation Standard of 5 Nautical Miles?
