@TR24 - there is a practise you can do on the online test before you take the actual test, it will show you exactly what you have to do, same timings and everything, you can redo the practise test as many times as you like before you take the actual test. Basically they give you random numbers or letters and you have to find the matching ones from a list, the time gets shorter after each section.

@conc1845 - there was a few people that this happened to, they said it was an admin mistake and you just have to go on and reselect it, i got 4 emails saying "updated information on your interview" but they all had the same info on them.

Test one!

Got my invitation to the first test today!

Pretty nervous after looking here and seeing how young I am in comparison to a few of you guys.

@Gilley - Thanks for that Already had a look at the booking page again and there are several more dates (some of which more suitable for me as well) but none are selectable. 'digg' pops up with a non-functioning page issue. Have emailed and left a message with HR but will be ringing tomorrow to find out for definite what the hell is going on.

Gilley - I'm on the Monday one, 11:15. Good luck!

I received 3 emails today about the updated information; the test materials they've given is the older one, as it still has Flight Info Service, Radar Advisory etc when the new one says that these have been replaced with Deconfliction Service etc. Still on the same date and time though (and double checked on all three emails!)

Online test

Does anyone know the kind of score they are looking for from the online checking information test?

Hey guys, this is my 3rd time around trying for NATs and I really don't want to balls it up this time so if anyone has any additional info on what happens after you click that link we have been emailed I would appreciate it.

I'm actually really busy for the next 5 days and don't want to rush myself doing what ever is on the other side of it.

Thanks muchly!

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum as of an hour ago. I've applied for NATS training as well and got my email through today about the online test after applying 2 weeks ago.

I've not done the test yet, waiting until tomorrow after a good nights sleep. Any possible advantage helps.

Hopefully we'll get through most of these stages without any issues but its great to know a group like this exists.

Roughly how many questions out of 25 did you have to get right? I got the email today about the test and going to take it in the morning.

Don't worry about your age, it's your maturity that's important.

I applied and got though the selection at 18, as did many of my colleagues.

Applied way back on 13th July and had pretty much given up hope of progressing any further after hearing nothing back. Out of the blue yesterday, invitation to the online tests. Completed it straight away and woke up this morning to find an e-mail inviting me to the next stage. Off there on Monday morning, 09:15. Will be seeing you there Gilley!

Good luck all!
