The exam is online, 4 parts to be held online. Today they sent me a link where I need to pay a 110 euro fee. After this payment they will release the test.

Question reg. the TestAir360, there is an option to pay later the invoice.
Did some of you try it?
I would like to give myself a little more time to prepare for it so I would like to pay it later so I can do it.
Thanks!

  • Day 2:
    • Stage 3: Group exercise
    • Stage 4: Personal interview
I wonder if anyone who have done the recruitment before could tell me what the PILOT APTITUDE TEST consist of? I read a lot of people talking about other types of test (mental arithmetic, ATPL knowledge test, stimulator assessment, etc) - not sure if those are included in the pilot aptitude test.

Another question I have and would appreciate an answer on is that I have been looking at difference test packages that you can buy to practice prior to recruitment event. The problem is there are so many, and I cannot tell which one to go for. According to WizzAir,

'The beneficial feature of the Wizz Air approved pilot aptitude test (TestAir) is that candidates can make preparation for it. Its training module designed for four home practices before final supervised test at the recruitment event.'

How can I purchase TestAir prep course/training modules? Has anyone tried it before? Do you recommend it?

Thanks in advance!
Just to point out the stupidity of these programs
Since they don't ask for licenses medical etc you can send ANY of your friends, girlfriend, boyfriend, cousin to have these tests before you and have 100% score. A small trip of your friend to Budapest worth saving the cost of flightschool.
I am not saying that anyone should do that. I am saying that there are security gaps to this stupid process

Hi there. I did it like this. I received my invoice at the beginning of september, and on the invoice it was written that it had to be paid until the 30th of september. So I waited a little bit longer to have more time to prepare and paid the invoice on the 29th of September and everything was fine for me. A few days later I received the invitation for doing the TestAir Exams.

Damn, I have to say that some of those tests on TestAir360 are hard.
  1. Did any of you got good result on the Visual Perception in practice mode? It seems almost undoable with 4 seconds to pick correct dial, check numbers and remember them.
  2. Does the pro exam need scheduling? I think that it's proctored automatically, so I assume I can take it anytime I want just to keep in mind the deadline. Am I right?
  3. Did any of you buy extra test runs to be better prepared? Was it worth it?

- Visual perception test is quite tricky but not impossible. I was able to get around 75% on that section after a little practice.
- The pro exam doesn't need scheduling, you can take it anytime as you mentioned.
- I didn't buy any additional tests

But the most important thing you need to know is that the actual test is substantially harder than the practice tests.
For example:
- The mental arithmetic test will read the problem out to you verbally, which threw me off guard since I would just forget what the actual question was midway through solving it.
- The "seesaw" test will have a few additional rounds. This will include the test showing a certain colour, and you have to press the correct button on your keyboard for the corresponding colour, while you are balancing the ball.
It will also give you a round where it will invert the controls. When I was at the WAPA recruitment event, a cadet told me that he just crossed his arms over which apparently made it much easier, so you can try that.

Overall don't worry too much about the test, I'm sure you'll do fine and good luck with your application!

Thank you CE!

Especially the tip for the seesaw is helpful.

Could you please tell me if there was also physics module?
And if you have practiced on some other test providers?

I'm preparing with SkyTest and for example mental math is in the verbal form here so I'm wondering if there is more similarities.

There is a physics module. This includes mainly high school level physics. (Moments, Specific heat capacity etc.)
I did practice my mental arithmetic a little with a simple mental maths trainer, however the level of questions on the test ranged from "2 cubed" to "27 times 29".
On top of this, there is an "advanced" mathematics section, where calculator and paper are allowed. From what I remember I had to rearrange algebraic equations and so forth.
I didn't use any other test providers, I just sort of jumped in and hoped for the best tbh.

I would suggest to just go for it, at least you’ll have a very clear view on what to prepare for next time. I tried also to unsuccessfully postpone it, then I just decided to go for it as it is, I prepared at my best but probably not enough. Goodluck and please update us on the results ( i took the exam 3 days ago, no update yet)

Hey MegaKaloria!!
I did the Psychometric test on 18th of October so it has been 2 weeks since then and I have not gotten a response back yet. I was wondering how long it takes for them to respond to the psychometric test. Please note than I did the psychometric test online and not in person.

Thank you!

Hi, everyone! I have some questions about the mental arithmetic math test in the WizzAir assessment. What kind of numbers do we have to do calculations with? Is the test limited to maybe triple figures? For example: 352+458? Can I use paper and pen or do I have to do all the remembering and calculation in mind? Were there multiply, splitting, adding and substraction as well? How much time do we have to calculate, 10-20 sec?? Thanks in advance.

Hi Kkjack!
How did your psychometric test go? Any useful info that you can share, please? I’ve signed for it for next week, i’ll be in a Teams meeting with another 8 candidates. Goodluck with your results, all the best!

Mental arithmetic is quite challenging, i’d say, starting gradually from simple to more complicated math. Not limited to triple figures and can/will include explonents, percentage calculations, besides the basic addition and substraction. No pen and paper allowed, no calculator, aprox 10 seconds for each question, as far as i remember.
Practice as much as you can, in advance.
