Hello ! Does anybody know when is next phase 1 taking place?
Good luck to all attending phase 1 on May 6th !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :):):)
Cheers

Yep, im after a date for stage 1 testing, got an email this morning saying the application has been processed and now i should just wait for a phase 1 date.

Chances of it being whilst im on holiday.............! :}

My my, I'm in a very nervous state right now. I had the strip management test a couple of days ago and actually found it being quite fun to do. I felt it went pretty good, I managed to detect 7 or 8 local conflicts and was able to fill in all the information that was delivered through my headphones as well as removing and sorting the strips. Here's the thing though - I didn't detect a single opposite conflict! I'm guessing this was the most important task even though they tell us to give all the tasks equal priority.

Does anyone dare to speculate in my chances of passing this part of the test? Test results will be coming later this week and I'm pretty much sitting on needles right now.

oddbob, I read somewhere in this thread that another guy hasn't detected any opposite conflicts as well, and he passed.

oddbob, how hard did you find exercises in morning session, i read quite a lot about those exercises, but can't really imagine how hard they actually are

killua - That might give me some hope then. Awaiting friday with grave anxiety.

matichk - The tests were very much like I expected them. They resemble most IQ-tests you can find on the internet and the basic principles are pretty much the same. Obviously these test shouldn't be easy, but I think it all comes down to whether or not you have a knack for distinguishing certain shapes and colors, coordinating mental reflexes and also applying arbitrary rule bending - a great part of the tests were focused on this.

Whatever you do, don't start giving up if you find it very difficult and try to relax as much as you can. At one part of the test I ran out of time and left 8 (!) questions unanswered - still I managed to pass the test.

I'm sure you've read about the Ball test. Here is an interesting flash game that should give you a hint of how your multitasking skills are.

I got a score of 350. Although it took 15 tries...practice makes perfect. :rolleyes:

By the way, if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Hello Adriana... read throughout this thread and you will find your answers and further information about Eurocontrol testings (FEAST) and interviews.
Welcome to the forum anyway
Cheers !

Well i read it and still have some questiones.Can you give me some examples of web sites when i can train my abilities ,i have found some but i don't know if there are apropiate for their tests.Does the first phase of testing inludes the ELPAC test? tnx for the previous answer FoxrotCharlie :)

You really can't prepare for the tests. Just be relaxed on the day of the tests and have faith in your skills.

So, has anyone from this weeks testing heard from them yet? Ms Prevoo said that the results will be known at the end of this week..

Hello all !
to Wandering... how do you know that the results are coming this week ? did you go there ? do you know someone who went yesterday ?
Cheers !

I was there on the 4th :) and Ms Prevoo said that the results will come in at the end of the week.

well best of luck to you and everyone else who were there this week

i am the new guy
 

hi to all you guys,
i also got a mail a few days ago in which they informed me that i'll go for the testing in Maastricht but I will have to wait for a date.my name is can and i am from turkey. does anyone know the date for the next phase 1 testing?

I don't know when they will initiate the next phase 1 testings, but before we took our tests earlier this week they told us that the approved candidates from the current rounds won't start their training until the beginning of next year (2011). It seems somewhat logical (considering the time span between previous testings) that they won't start inviting new candidates until 2-3 months from now. But this is just a wild guess.

thanks oddbob :ok:

oddbob, did you get any response from them yet?

ATC
 

Does anybody know is the ELPAC (english language proficiency for aeronautical communicatons) provided as a part of the first phase of testing in Maastricht?

No they dont have elpac there.

Tnx for the answer :)
