If I remember correctly, I only answered questions if I had the time and that wasn't often. I concentrated on not letting the planes collide...I still had four collisions then found out the keys weren't working properly and the computer crashed!!

Sat my Stage 1 last Monday (29th June) and I knew I'd struggled with the cubes but it only took NATS 1 week to kick me in the balls with it!!

Ah well, role on next year - best of luck to everyone else still in the game!

Ive taken my stage one test twice now and pased second time(thankfully)
But ive just realised i only left 10 months between both tests and they ask for a 12 month gap.
Nobody seems to have noticed yet but i will have to tell them.

I think you'll be better off to get in there before they notice and tell them! Integrity is a good quality in potential new employees, sorry though can't be sure what they will do!

I think from previous discussions, the length of time is between application dates not test dates. So if you applied before july last year then you are ok, im sure they would have noticed but best to check anyway.
Good luck with it.

Just had stage 3 today, wasnt too bad but very unusure of how i did, not confident but not thinking i have failed dismally. Time will tell !!!!!

Good luck with your results i hope you passed.
I cant imagine having to wait for the results of stage 3 tests, i bet they will be the longest 15 days of your life.
Good luck

game

hey guys,

i tried to trace down but i couldn't manage. i'm looking for a small programme, somebody mentioned that here (or at least i think he did that here); it's a small programme like at the nats selection proccess. you know that, on the left side there are planes (dots) on the right side there is a square some basic math task inside and you have to "survive" for 5 minutes with the less collisions and best menthal math.
anybody could help me? thanks a lot.
