NATS (stage 1 + 2 tests) for Trainee Air Traffic Controller - HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi all,

I have recently applied via the NATS web site to be a TATC. I have passed the initial application and been invited to attend a test/interview day in NATS Corporate Centre in Whiteley Fareham. I have been given a 25 page document to study (an overview of ATC) which i feel comfortable with. I want to be as prepared as possible and some for the apptitude tests on the day. Has anyone recently sat the test who could shed some light on the type/difficulty level of the questions, maybe some exmaples you could think of? Also are calculators allowed?

I am really passionate about this; i just want to walk in and to know excatly what to expect to give myself the best chance of passing as possible. So any help would be much appreciated. Also below is an e-mail sent to me about changing of testing structure.

The Stage 1 tests will in future be in two parts. The initial invitation is to come along to part one where you will take two tests, the ATC test, which is based on the information already available to you to learn and a Numeracy test which involves straight forward speed and distance calculations, climb and decent rates.

These tests will take approximately one hour to complete and will be scored immediately.
If you score well on these tests you will be invited to remain with us for the second part to take two further tests – Spatial Reasoning and Diagramming. The second part will also last approximately one hour.


Thanks
