prepare how you think you should prepare, thats what the rest of us did. If your good enough, you'll be good enough!
And yep, any mention or indication of what to expect/prepare for is to the detriment of London people as the assessors said so no sensible person would post such information.

About the Assessments
So Let me give you a Summary,
1. 6 tests to be conducted, the exams are fairly a kinda easy (search the Forum...etc.), but Etihad is looking for HIGH scores, unlike me
or maybe like me 
-results might come out on or before the 26th of Feb (after a week of the assessments date).
- Fail in one exam...you fail in the whole thing (thats what happened in the last year's assessments!!!)
2. Dress what you feel is right
3. 70 cadets will be recruited for this year ''2009'', don't remember how many from Europe.
4. Stage 2 will take place between the 13th & 17th of April 09, this will include Psychomotor, Personality Profile, Group exercise & interview(s) + some Tours that I will arrange (I DONT WORK IN ETIHAD), but like to meet you guys as I did with the former Batch.
5. Stage 3 will take place in June, thats what I know till now.
Any more info...just start from no. 6
, I haven't heard about Jumbo744, EYZ & JShendis's Performance...how did you do people???, hope you've done well

Hello malirm! Sorry I couldn't meet up with you when you came over here...it would have been nice to return the favour you did when I was in Abu Dhabi last year... 
I hope you did well - I hope I did well! Let's hope we will be at the interviews together this time...

Hi Man,
No Problem...anytime, hope one of us makes it through "at Least"
, now I know what it feels like after 3 days from the assessments (exactly the opposite of the feeling I got just after the exam)...anyways, I'm still in the UK for the coming days...why not meet up (All PPRuNers of EY cadet Pilot wanabes), any thoughts???

It was nice meeting you guys.
I think I did pretty well in all the exams. I've spotted 4-5 mistakes I made on one test, and I couldn't sleep the night after the assessment! But what is done is done so that's it. But even with 4-5 mistakes I don't think it's a fail, the problem is that I'm sure many guys will have just ONE mistake so I'm out of the process I think. Those mistakes I made were on the first exam. Then everything was very easy. There is another exam I can't say if I did good or not really, so I hope I will have some luck.
I prefer to think that I failed so that I don't get too disappointed when the results come out.
To all the guys that are going to do the assessment in the next weeks/month, I know it's frustrating that we won't tell you what the exams are about, but you will understand our position when you will be done with the exams.
This is a very good experience, it will let you know how you behave, and how fast you can think/work under time pressure.
Enjoy and good luck to all

We should have met up on the 19th...I didn't know that you were still here. Are you living in Windsor near where the assessment was? The trouble is, I live in Bournemouth and due to work wouldn't be able to travel into London....if possible you are more than welcome to come down to us if you are able to!

I believe there are 90 cadets in total - 12 of these are the internal international candidates and 15 are from last years European assessments there is a further course of international cadets which have been selected but are not due to start training for a couple of months yet as far as I know. The rest of the 90 are Emirati Nationals.
Best of luck to all.

I thought they had enough trouble finding that many UAE nationals to actually turn up for the first assessments...From what we were told in London they only managed to find around 60 locals to apply, hence the international search. Please tell me if I am way off the mark though...? I am not entirely sure.
