If you are applying for jobs, you should be continuously preparing for interviews, and should not have to resort to Pprune for "specific questions" on some test. Gather your references, on paper and online, and take the test!

It appears that different questions are weighted differently. Some have been offered interviews with scores in the low 60s and some have not with scores in the 70s. No intel available as to which questions carry priority I'm afraid.

Rumor is that they hired some guys who only scored in the low 40's on the exam. Also don't wear a tie to your interview. They say business casual and if you wear a tie that seems to be another mark against you.
Good luck.

zerozero - thanks for the info.
2,500 hours TT seems kind of light, what are competitive times to have? Also, reading in between the lines, are they more inclined to hire ex-military? Not too many 2,500 TT guys have heavy jet part 121 experience.

That's a fair interpretation ATPMBA.
VP of Flight Ops, at a meeting several months ago, publicly stated he wanted an 80/20 mix of military vs. civilian but realized that wasn't realistic so he lowered his target to 60/40.
To be competitive as a civilian, in the past, 5000 TT seemed to be the min threshold. Most were closer to 10,000.
Good luck.

I was told later it was mostly a mind game just to see what the interviewees would wear, but it was still very specific about it being business casual and described what to wear and a tie wasn't mentioned.
