Ok, I don't know what I started here, but I was just a little confused as to why there was so much secrecy all of a sudden. If it is true that there was an Etihad staff member who asked that those of you who have been tested not share details I respect that and I won't push the issue. Im in the united states anyway so I don't even know when/where our assessment will be but when it comes I will try to help others out with info without breaking any bounds on what info I can and can't share.

ceasefire
just chilll !!!!!
i think we hav to call a ceasefire now coz everyone is behind their line of control and ready to fire since i m in the neutral territory coz i dont know wen r they going to come to india for the tests think we should call a truce.
since no one will share wat was in the assessment and i dont want anyone to coz it will simply ruin their chances and since the competition is very tough i dont think its good everybody should hav a fair chance.
all of u who had an assessment can share in detail how did u prepare urself dont think like u hav given the tests share it like u r abt to giv it but in detail. (and dont lie or misguide pleezzzz.)

AEROMAR:_________________________________________________
"Danny man, let me tell you that reading what you just wrote there was harder than Etihad's tests. I don't care about spelling or the common web-abbreviations like "u". But please, please use commas and periods. Not doing so renders a whole sentence unreadable.
Example:
...since the competition is very tough i dont think its good everybody should hav a fair chance.
You don't??
Please, i dont want this to be seen as the typical reply of the smartass correcting everyone else on the forum. It's just... it's commas and periods we're talking about here.
____________________________________________________________ __
MY REPLY:
1) dear aero, who made you the boss of this forum?
2) why r u such an edgy ass since you finished ur assessment?
3) why did you just give away the test?..."""reading what you just wrote there was harder than Etihad's tests"""
4) you are not suppose to reveal anything, and you just decreased my chances a lot
5) i don't want anyone decrease my chances
6) maybe dannys first language is not english, whats it to you? no one told u 2 reply like a wise guy
7) he was just tryin to coll things up
8) if you don't have anything positive to say, don't say it... that include me 2 from now on
Please, i dont want this to be seen as the typical reply of the smartass correcting everyone else on the forum...no one told u 2 do that... It's just... u do sound like that and thats exactly what u sound like a smart ass who is **** scaredand don't 4get to let me know the mistakes i made

Geee what happened to this thread, chill people!
Was at the 9am LHR assessment today, found it pretty tough to be honest but that's all I will say.
The assessors were great and really made the whole experience easier, also helped to relax my nerves. They did say they read PPrune so if they are reading this, thanks!
Good luck to everyone!

Hi folks, if the Etihad people are looking at this webpage they must be wondering about the squabbling children writing in and wonder if they are grown up enough to be pilots ?

Hi,
ok, look there are 6 tests in the selection.
The tests examine different things, all are under pressure through time.
Stop acting like kids, read this forum there is enough info, there is also much b++++++T but dont worry about it.
Be as prepared as you can and come relaxed.

Chill Out!
WOW, the assessments finish and look how things are looking on the forum. There is a lot of immaturity, more than I had thought. Anyways people, you all need to just chill out! Just take a deep breath and know that you are done! I take it today was the last set of assessments in Europe, cheers to those who finished. Now it's our turn, the NA's and the Aussies. Can hardly wait!
Once again, everyone just take it e-z!

I took the tests on Tuesday at LHR and would like to wish people the best of luck for their assessments wherever they might be.
The day is enjoyable and the staff are most friendly, which makes it relaxed.

HAs anyone that has not been able to attend,had the oppurtunity to attend a different assesment? I think I will be in training for an airline here in the US when they have our assesments, I will be willing to pay to fly somewhere else, but its up to the etihadists....

And the conclusion is...
Well,ladies and gents,this is Raf,I've been following this last 2 days,didn't want to add my input as I want it to see how far would go...Well,guys,a bit of background on me...I've always,like many of us,wanted to fly,since my dad took me on a flight from Curitiba,Brazil,to Rio on a Boeing 737-200 of TransBrasil airlines(went bust)He knew the captain and I had the chance to visit the flight deck,watch the landing and bla,bla...I was 6 years old!Well,my family isn't well off, 100k is a bit out of my budget so I've been fighting really hard to get this,and the war isn't over!!!God knows how hard I've tried,I've got accepted at OAT,I've failed CTC,its been up and down but let me tell you,I'm still working and most importantly,I'm still smilling.I know a guy who took 5 years to complete his license,he flies for Iberia now on A340's,he had an office job,9-5 then at 7 he would go to a restaurant to wash dishes,then at 12 would run outside nightclubs to sell hotdogs to drunken losers on friday night.This,my friends,I call passion!I'll be very honest with you,I've studied my ass out the past 2/3 weeks,since the time of my aplication to the time I was invited to the assesment,I didnt have much time to prepare,as Is very hard to study while you do safety briefings,serve gin and tonics at 30.000ft and push duty free trolleys up and down,but I've tried my best.Honestly,I think I've done well in 5 out of 6 tests(thats already information,as when I walk in there I didn't have a clue how many tests were).I'll be very disapointed if I'm not up to second stage,I'll be very annoyed if the guy who was chosen before me,was the same guy I told that in the first test the standard was such and such,and the third test you had to do this and that,so he had a better preparation...Now,you smart asses,what make you think you deserve this more than me,or zazoo,or aeromar,or anyone else on this forum,or anyone else who didn't know this forum was created?????Why are you so much more special than us?Now,this is a competition in the end,true,there is more than 12 places,but the odds are high,so instead put knifes on each others back,stop and think:1-Did I prepare enough(look back at my posts,you'll see that I urged people on count ONLY on themselves,and prepare.I NEVER HAD ANY ******* HELP,and you ALL sound like spoiled little brats fighting for a candy)2-How passionate about this I am?3-If I dont get it,what is my contingency plan?4-Be honest with yourself(eg. well,I'm not good at physics so maybe should work on that.)5-Put yourself on the shoes of the other fresh faced candidates,as nervous as you on the day and try to think why would be fair for you to put pressure on someone like aeromar to give out the info that he never had.Get real guys,I think the problem here is that you guys forgot the basic and I believe,the best quality on a pilot,which is HUMILITY!!!!!REMEMBER:you cant build a house from the roof,you must start from the bottom...is a rule for everything in life,second :God gives with one hand and takes it with the other...,failure now doesn't mean you arent able to make it one day,and at last,doesnt cost you anything to be humble.If anyone at Etihad see this forum,I think many candidates are already out of this run for lack of maturity.

EZY, why on earth are u giving information out? yes ok it may not be the exact contents but its more than what i knew when i went along. The word stupid does spring to mind, obviously other peoples chances of getting better results in the assessment than that of your own is your top concern.....good on you....

palks,
i dont think thats how it works.
After they test everyone they intend to test, they'll putt together all the results from all over the world and convert into percentiles. THEN will they email people with the generic "We're sorry to inform you.." or "We're pleased to inform you..."
Thats what I think because I know LSAT and MCAT exams are calculated that way.
any ideas?
