Nats - Trainee Air Traffic Controller - Selection Test And Personality
Hello all,
I will be undertaking these tests next month.
The email I received confirming the date also had a link to some test questions, here http://natscareers.co.uk/docs/NATS_P...e_Leaflet2.pdf
I got 100% on the first two, but the third one, Diagramming, I only got 2 correct.
Can someone tell me where to get more examples to practice on?
Thanks.

ATC First stage test
Hello,
I have my first stage test on this Friday and I am currently looking through the booklet. Do you have to learn all the aircraft types with heights, weight, passenger loads?
Please help, any tips will be great!

I took them a couple of weeks ago, you need to be familiar with the different aircraft. There are questions such as "What aircraft would you use to fly from X to Y". I didn't have anything particularly specific about cruising speed/passenger capacity, but that's not to say you won't be asked.

I took those test questions - and failed dismally!!! I wonder how they determine one's ability to become a controller?
For me, I'll just need to practice, practice, practice the cubes as that's my biggest shortcoming. I can always hope the cubes will be removed by the time I apply, but I doubt that very much.
I still query the relevance...

Having just been through the entire, gruelling, recruiting process myself - the only advice I think is pertinent is:
If you've got it, you've got it. If you don't, you don't.
Sorry to be so blunt.

Kiwi Chick has it right, but the fun comes when no one knows whether you have it or not. Not HR. Not some crappy test. Not an over inflated sense of ability. It seems the only way to tell is to get someone in to do it - and even then it's often hard to tell until towards the end of training when you can start testing at the required levels of traffic and complexity.
If anyone can reliably predict thos who've "got it" they could make a mint!

Well said by Dan - I especially think the "over inflated sense of ability" is perhaps the best hint he's given you.
I didn't for one minute think I'd got it - until I got the phone call saying I'd got it.
