Just got back to london. I attended the 9am slot. What ive gathered is they are expecting to only take about 25 cadets from the international sector, the rest being citizens of UAE. otherwise a wonderful day and a great experience. definetely a step in the right direction to attend, if your considering becoming a airline pilot.

Just back from FRA.
I was in the morning session, and I am pretty sure there were no less than 130\140 candidates (not considering the afternoon).
Really not difficult... but the time was not much.
2nd stage the next month hopefully for successful guys.

hey fellows,
All best to the guys who gave their exams in FRA. Can anyone give excat number of people expected to be taken in for the cadet programme. I thought that this cadet programme is for internatinal students and there is a seperate cadet programme for national students of abu dabhi. But above posts are a bit confusing so someone please clarify the whole issue.
Thanks
Cheers

Hi all,
Just waiting in FRA airport for the return home after the assessment today.
Without divulging too much information about the test i would say i found most of it was fairly doable and i feel confident with 95% of my answers for 5 of the 6 tests - indeed, it was actually quite enjoyable, you just had to be quick.
The tough one was the 2nd one - or first one if you were at London. Quite a few difficult questions, very short time limit, I didn't finish all on that one so i randomly guessed a few.
I have no idea of how well or poorly i did compared to everyone else, so fingers crossed.
Good luck to all.

flew back home this morning,
Just a feeling i think alot more people will pass this time around in FRA then they did in LHR as we were told at the end of the test on 23rd if you guys remember that more people have passed in one day of FRA assessment then the whole of London assessment .
which could means a tough competition at stage 2.

Hallo PPRuNers - I am new here, but was an anonymous reader before... 
Therefore I first like to thank you guys (and girls!!) for all the information! It is was very helpful so far!!
I was in FRA yesterday as well. I have to say the first test was really bad for me. The time simply went out... And some questions... wow!
Even with the other tests going very well, I don't have the illusion that I have passed. But to prepare for next year already (since the program Etihad offers is just awesome) I would like to ask if anybody has been at the test last year already and is able to compare both tests?
Are the tests equally structured every year? Or are they even the same??
Would be happy for a short reply!
Thx a lot and to good times on PPRuNe!!

Leading edge,
Don't quote me on this but from what I understand from Ethiad, there are no set pass marks for the tests, except for one which must be passed. I believe from what they told us, they take top however many people from each coutries assessment. I could have understood them wrong though.
Anyone else have any ideas?

From what they said in London, there were no set pass marks in the tests except in one of them. From that, I understand it that they will therefore take the top however many percent in the tests.
Anyone else from London remember this?

Also Kit Cloudkicker,
I understand that its a definate yes or no, but I meant there is no definate pass mark, the way they make it out is the top however many percent will get a Yes, the rest a No.
