jwabh nice one see you there.

spaceaceuk, I am planning to go down the day before aswell, flying down from Leeds Bradford.

Not sure if anyone is aware of this, but thought I would give the heads up just in case

Anki - friendly, intelligent flashcards

It's computer based flash card software, hoping it is going to prove quite helpful for remembering the plane specs etc

Just a quick check that nobody who was asked to wait until May for their Stage 2 date, also hasn't been able to book to any more accurate extent than that?

Cheers,
Phil

spaceaceuk and Batfink79, good morning. I understand you are going 15th April at 1000 AM, is that correct? I'm coming from Spain, flying to Gatwick. I will be arriving on 14th (by the moment) and I still have to look for some place to stay. Any ideas? We can meet somewhere

Cheers

Hello all, new to the forum.
Gazb2. I did the Stage 1 at Prestwick on the 21st Jan, and have booked Stage 2 on the 3rd May.
To anyone who's done Stage 2, is it worth hunting down info on these FEAST tests, or is it best to just roll with it on the day?

I hunted down all the info I could, and ended up with, wikipedia. So there's not that much out there, and to be honest I don't know if it helped me.

Sure it's nice to have an idea what's coming, but I don't think it impacted my score. Also the nice little games I played, I don't know, maybe they helped me but I don't think it really showed in the results. In the end it's down to the same as stage 1.

Good nights sleep
Good nice breakfast
Do your best
Pay attention to the instructions
Never give up

I haven't tried skytest etc so I can't comment on that though. But if you enjoy playing tetris etc, why not, just don't force yourself and think it'll help you. Because it might, but at least for me I don't think it did (was good fun though, great game tetris ).

Just my 2 cents (2Pence?) worth

Hi Seahawk!

Which time were you on the 21st? I was supposed to be the 9am but ended up lost and unable to find the centre Managed to get in on the 1pm slot though....

Really looking forward to the 3rd...although I really do wish there were some practice games or just something (anything!!) we could do to prepare further for it.

See you there !

tj93 I think it's three times a year, but a memo has just gone around explaining how they're reducing the number of intakes...


Also... massive good luck to sambatc who has his Stage Three tomorrow
