AT 25MPH, how far do you travel in 2 hours and 24 mins??
Urghhh im actually good at maths... I just cant find an easy way to do SDT in my head quickly.
Apparently If i know my 6 times table, then its easy in your head. Can someone give some examples... not with easy numbers, but with difficult ones that are not easily split...ie at What speed covers 23 miles in 2 hours 47 mins...
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks

crash - this is how i do it. although there are different ways.
@ 25mph how far do you travel in 2hr 24 min.
2hrs is 50 miles
A 5th of an hour is 12mins so in 12 mins @ 25mph you go 5 miles as a 5th of 25 is 5.
So 12 mins x 2 is 24 mins making 10miles in 24 mins.
All added is 60 miles in 2hrs 24mins

BarryK - Mines at 10.45, so will all be over by the time you're in! I'm so nervous! Am I right in thinking that for the S/D/T questions you do get scrap paper?
Thank you x

Indeed, when I booked the time I thought it would be nice to have some time to prepare, but now I just want it over with!
Might feel diffrent when I'm on that train to Swanwick though, I'm already feeling a bit nervous

Hey
For anyone who has completed stage 1 - are the SDT calcs pretty standard? ie - if you can to the ones on the RAF website, you can do the NATS ones?
Thanks
Chris

I have the Stage 1 test on the 18th of this month at Fareham. Anyone else on that day? Any tips please? I was not aware there will be calculations involved though. The information I received did not mention this.

I received a link to the following:
The event will consist of selection tests & ATC paper.
The questions for the ATC paper are drawn from this link:
Test document material
Practice examples of the tests can be found at:-
NATS Practice Leaflet
Practice Tests on SHL Website

Anna,
So far as I remember you do. It's not overly hard, just there to sort the wheat from the chaff. If I'd known someone from here would be on an earlier one, I'd have booked it! Damn!

Barry,
Why don't you try and re-book it for the earlier one? Or have they all been taken?This wait is absolutely killing me, I just want it over with now!
So the standards pretty similar to those questions given on the RAF website?
Thanks

Sofia,
Speed Distance Time | OASC: RAF Officer and Aircrew Selection Centre
is good for practicing. Everytime you refresh the page there are new questions - so pretty good!
Good luck in your prep
