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 !!!

eaglesnest1972 26th Jun 2013 14:56

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 :)

James Seward 27th Jun 2013 01:24

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.

flyingfox320 27th Jun 2013 06:17

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!!

flyingfox320 27th Jun 2013 09:48

@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....

nrn 28th Jun 2013 09:49

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...

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

gearupflapsupshutup 30th Jun 2013 09:25

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...

Roggel29 30th Jun 2013 14:55

Hi,

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

suntorytimo 2nd Jul 2013 05:07

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.

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...

MCDU2 2nd Jul 2013 11:08

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

Txetxu 2nd Jul 2013 13:46

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
