the math is pretty much Numeric Reasoning. Also, dont forget Logical Reasoning. Its those weird shapes and patterns and you have to identify the next shape based on the set of pictures, for example.

Hi everyone,
Have been keeping a track of this thread for a while now. Just wondering if anyone could advise me on this.....
I know someone alluded to the scheduling of tests/interviews being based on the applicants' country of abode - which I assume is the case with European nationals at the end of this month (LHR & FRA)..
But does anyone have any idea when the selection round for Sydney is scheduled to take place? I've been "under review" for a while now and haven't as yet heard anything back from Etihad.
Best of luck to those attending the selection process this month

i dont know kuzukuzu. Something came into my mind though. Considering there will be assessments in FRA and in LHR (confirmed), and most probably in other places of the world too, dont u think that they would only do such a big selection if it was for more than 12 vacancies?
If i wanted 12 people for my company, I would probably just go to one main country and i would find 12 suitable ones for sure. Only good news about that though. Maybe they are considering cadet programs as their main pilot source... considering this is the best way to assure that people stay in the company, and do not run away like some other westerners do as soon as their AC stops working.

do we have any idea what type of maths its going to be? because the words numerical reasoning give me the impression of interpreting graphs, tables, and other numerical data to answer questions. but the other guy who did the tests says the questions are more like conversions, long division, multiplication etc. Its a tough call! I guess we should prepare for both!
I do agree that the computer based aptitude tests are likely to be in AUH otherwise Etihad would have to transport a dozen computers around the europe.
I've found that the logical reasoning tests come in one of two forms: 1) spot the pattern in the changing diagrams and discover what the missing one is OR 2) all the diagrams have something in common (for example they all have 2 triangles) and you have to select one that has the same unique property from four/five options. and i think they both require completely different skills!

Thoughts!!
As I understand our aussie friends will have to wait until September, its the States next.
I am not sure that the cadet scheme is the main way for EY to get pilots, I think the direct entry route is quicker and cheaper!!
He is another thought, if the people in the UK, and Europe are the first ones to be tested and then they publish all the tests on here and facebook, will it not give a real advantage to those in Canada, the US and Australia who are being tested after but are all competing for the same places?
If I was on the first selections I would be careful about reducing my chances by revealing all the questions, anyway its just a though!!

I definetly agree with EYZ.
I also think that whoever made the facebook group to privatize it. You are making this more competitve for yoursefl, we all know how powerful of a social networking/advertising tool facebook is. You are giving this scheme free advertisement, and from what i heard, this whole scheme has not been very advertised! Thats why im not joining the group (yet), have many wanna be pilot "friends" on FB.
Its a tough life

I hope that there won't be any assholes that will reveal the solutions of the exam of Frankfurt.
That's would be so stupid, also because you know that companies, Etihad included, looks the forum each day.
But, I have an asking: if there we'll be aproximately 50 people, how it will be possible that we'll can expose all our CV in the interviews?

What do you mean by "how are we going to expose our CV..." 50 people is not too many. In an Emirates open day for cabin crew you would probably find 300 people on stage one. Easily. And again, apparently there are no interviews on stage one. As the email says, only an introduction and tests will be conducted.

Etihad Cadet Pilot Program...
Managed to jus submit the application for Etihad Cadet early this morning at about 0200hrs Singapore time. As anyone would have expected, I was having fun with the NA fields and all the rest of 1 and 0 digits.
Have been reading the posts here and I suppose everyone who applied is still waiting for EY to revert? Anyone knows if at age 31, EY will still consider giving you a shot if you can show them where your interest lies? Being Singaporean, have previously applied to the SQ Cadet scheme, but was not selected after Final interviews....screwed me up a bit, considering my dream was to be a pilot since young....
Would someone please revert on the age 31 query please.
Also, for all you fans out there, SQ is hiring pilots for cadet training in big batches. Mainly recruiting cadets from HKG, Malaysia (KUL, PEN), India (BOM). Do log in and try your luck. Make dreams come alive!
SQ Site: www.singaporeair.com.sg => choose careers, then technical crew/pilots.
Cheers!

Hi, im afraid you are over the age limitation. All of us who have been called for the first assessment stage next week in Frankfurt or in London are under age 27. As it says on the website, the accepted age range is 18-26.
Thank's for the singapore tip!

for Aeromar, from the section "Recruitmen process" on Etihad website:
"Interview
Shortlisted candidates will undergo a personal interview. This may be conducted by telephone, on a one-to-one basis or as part of an assessment center. The Company conducts suitable skills and personality tests as part of the process for selected positions. After the successful completion of the personal interview, candidates will have to undergo an administrative clearance process."
This was written also for the pilot programme.
