Hi everyone,
I attended Stage 1 Yesterday (7th) at NATS CTC. Found the first ATC paper to be nice and simple, and the mental arithmetic I had dusted off came in nicely.
As others have mentioned, I was surprised by the number of applicants to fail at this first hurdle. Although confident I had passed the first half, your heart certainly gets beating when they're reading names out at the front.
Stage 2 invite has already arrived, but no dates bookable at the moment. I want to leave it a few weeks anyway and mentally 'zone' before the next onslaught.
All the best to everyone else!

Congratulations extalex and anyone else who has succeeded so far!
I too attended the stage 1 yesterday (7th) and about half failed the motivational paper. So relieved when we were told we had passed it! I thought the diagramming and the cubes were tough, just as I'd expected.
Thankfully I got an email today inviting me to Stage 2!
Good luck to anybody waiting for results!

Hi! I have been invited to attend stage 1 and i was just wondering if anyone could clarify something for me? Is there a numeracy test aswell as the ATC paper or is it just the ATC paper asking questions about the document they told us to revise? the reasoning im asking is because i keep reading here in the forum that there is a math paper of some sort at stage 1 but today on the NATS facebook page NATS answered in a comment that there is no numeracy paper on stage 1 so i am a bit confused!
Thanks

P.wilson I think it must depend. I've read others talk about 30-40 people attending on the day and others not so many. At the group I went to, we had quite a small class with little more than 15 people!

Congrats to you two, and any others who got their Stage 2 invite.
I was there at the 1130 group, so wouldn't have bumped in to either of you. Our group was quite big, about 30-35 but this was reduced to about 12 after the first paper.

I think I might remember you! I was the the girl in the middle of the second row from the back (the row made up of only girls after the motivation paper, if I rememeber correctly!) if that makes any sense!

Hello, applied over the weekend for the position. Received an email inviting me to do the online test this morning. Did the online test - averaging between 19 to 23 out of 25. So took the test, and think I messed up on one section, so i reckon I got 5 or 6 out of the 25 wrong.
Does anyone know of anyone that has failed the online test? Is it really a low pass mark? Reckon I got 75% ish.
Thanks.
