Yup, i saw dutch in there... "nederlands"

Thanks for the info!!
I just completed the online assessment.

The verbal reasoning was very difficult in my opinion.
The rest was okay, I think.

Only the last test (hand eye coördination) I crashed a couple of times when the speed went up and I had to go through the 3 small holes.
But ofcourse they let you do hand eye coördination at the end, when you already tired :)

Now we all just have to wait for the feedback.
exciting times !!!

exciting...yes...

calls will be made, if any, after 11 july i think as stated on the ad.

we can all go to the seaside in the meantime:E

Guys what number you've got in the end of your Login ID to assessment? Mine is 369 and just wondering how much people logged in. It can give us some idea about competition :)

I was 464 if that means much. I guess there were lots of applicants so competition is a natural consequence. Now we must wait patiently till 11th July.

Looks like that number is not the reference number of each applicant because I have same number 464 :) will wait and see! :)

Just got the email now asking me to do the tests.
Anyone know how long it takes to complete the tests?

I don't wanna sit down and be rushed and I don't want to register to find out more about the tests as you only get 3 days to complete them! I'm very tight for time these days!!

@benish

It took me almost 2 hour depends on how much exercise (example) will you do... :) before I did mine test I tried couple of very similar free test on internet....

Wow, just did the thest, unbelieveble difficult. Got half way through the verbal reasoning, math tests where not too nice either.

I don't expect any calls I'm afraight...

737 3000 hrs SFI

I've also just done it. 5500tt and wondering how I've survived these past few years as that was a :mad:!

I feel with you super stall!
My flying skills go up and up, psychometric skills go down....
I do gliding, tail dragging, airline flying over 4000TT but think I should go to evening school :-( just to get the next flying job

I am trying to register to apply but the security question at the bottom of the register page will not load correctly, anyone else having this problem? I have tried 3 different browsers...

I've got the same problem. :(

Hi,

Does any body know the publisher of the tests? Was there any logo or name on test content?

I did the online assessment on Thursday, no reply yet. Did well in everything but the verbal reasoning and the coordination. Only managed to do about one third of the verbal reasoning test! Hopefully that doesn't impact my chances too greatly, also was using some terrible mouse I had never used before and crashed a few too many times on the coordination test, maybe 4 times? Will see what happens.

I don't think the tests reflect at all on anyone's flying abilities and suitability for the cockpit.

280 total time newly qualified.

Repeat after me......I cannot change the system so must learn to play the game.

Remember we were all that soldier. It's no different trying to get into BA or any of the other legacy airlines. You jump through a series of hoops devised by HR departments that have little or no understanding of the job on a day to day basis. Then when you are on the line you look around and wonder how any of us got through in the first place.

Repeat after me......I cannot change the system so must learn to play the game

Actually we can change the system.
Actually we can do whatever we want.
Actually to make a pilot you need...yes, that´s correct.....another pilot.


Unfortunately, we are our own worst enemies out there...

I commend your enthusiasm. When you get back from your interview post up how you got on for us.

We all are bouncing off the walls. We don´t know how they are going to score these tests.
You are talking about how many times you crashed on the coordination test, you forget the purpose of that test was "go as far as you can", not how many times you crashed.
It doesn't matter if you completed the whole exercise, It's more important complete a few tasks well, that complete the whole excercise wrong.

Keep calm and love aviation

Hi all,
I have a problem with registration to online tests.
I received email from AL to register with their test partner. I have IDpass for that.
But when I'm trying to register with them, I'm not receiving any email (and during the registration process, on the screen, they wrote, that they are sending registration details immidiately), so I can't register or log in.
I'm using the same email adress as for AL registration.
WTF?
What I'm doing wrongly?

fungi, check if it is going to your junk mail. Failing that contact aer lingus directly.

Any bets as to when the inevitable PFO is going to make an appearance?

3000TT and those tests reduced me to mush. I even had a dream (or nightmare maybe!) about being attacked by a giant cube with strange shapes on the side.

But apparently, it's very important as if you don't score highly enough in the tests, you don't have the aptitude for flying.

In that case, I don't know how I managed the last 6 years of commercial flying on balance. Feeling strangely inept today...

:}

Has anyone else just received an email about doing the 7 online tests? I did the tests a few weeks back, so it appears to have been sent in error but I thought it was worth checking just in case

From reading the email, it is a follow up to remind people they need doing before the 11th July. It says if you've done them then thanks and ignore this email pretty much

Perhaps I should have read the whole email! Cheers

Hi everyone

what did you put on the request: do you hold a valid JAA atpl?

I don't have it, only frozen ATPL and CPL MEP IR, but don't see any box to write about that

help :ok:

Has anyone else got an email reminding them to take the online tests?

I took the online tests over a week ago, but got an email yesterday saying "... if you haven't already taken the tests, please do so now."

Just wondering if it's a blanket email or whether there are gremlins in the system.

I had that mail too :confused:

anyone can help me figure out what to put on that question?

I put no to that question as I have a frozen ATPL and still I received the email to do the tests.

Cheers

Me too, is just a reminder guys

Hi CY, have you tried to login again to figure out what the 7 tests are about? I have got the same email but I haven't done anything yet? Worth dropping an email to their HR to make sure they received the 1st completed test? I never got a "...thanks for playing with us..." mail after the test...

You have now completed all tasks. Thank you very much. You can leave the system by clicking on ‘logout’.

HI, I have the same remark than you,increasing aviation skills but decreasing psychometric/non-aviation oriented tests.

all the best guys!

square jerry can ?
 

Did anyone else get a maths question about a 'square' jerry can with length 27cm and width 25cm and given height ?

Was this just a badly worded question or did I miss a trick here?

The trick is that I was asked to calculate volume of liquid inside the container, not the containter capacity. And of course it wasn't fully filled.

I didn't spot that. Ooops. I was more thrown by the fact the square had sides of unequal length !

Am surprised they said most wouldn't be able to answer all the questions in the given time. Thought they weren't that tricky.

Hi guys,

Just completed the tests.
The "death tunnel" was pretty easy with the few minutes of training before starting the real test.
The numerical test was pretty easy too even if I had a hard time reminding some formulas... ( KW to HP??? thought we were flying A320 here)
Reactivity: hard to make a mistake.
Observation of the drawings was easy at the beginning and became a bit hard at the end.
Same remarks for the spatial test.
Verbal reasonning, 12 minutes it s just impossible to complete the test, around 35 answers out of 49.

Good luck guys!

I have the impression that less guys take the aer lingus selection compared to the easyjet one.
