Firstly, calm down mate. I can see it is very frustrating for you, however, it is a techincall problem that CAN be resolved. Have you messaged the support department? I think there is an email address on the assesment hub and i'm sure they will help you. Have you a friend or family member that could perhaps lend you a laptop with a Web cam built in? Is there a local library perhaps? Or even an Internet cafe (if they are even still a thing??) You cant be the only person that's had this issue, and I'm sure the team will help you to sort it.

With regards to having wanted to complete over the weekend, don't get worked up. I too work long days, and then have children to attend to on an evening. I often only site down to do anything for myself at after already being awake for around 14-15hrs. I appreciate it's tiring and you may not be able to perform at a capacity that you would like to, but, stay focused and remember why you are doing this... It will help you though. That's what I do anyway! It gets me though the difficult times!

complywithme

this is a great explanation and the way they explain it to you makes it even easier...............and yet still somehow i think i've messed it up. Combo of stressful activity and the fact that every house close to me seems to be getting extensive and loud work done to it! Just got applied maths and deduction to do and i'm set for the 'no' email again :)

My advice to anyone who hasn't started it yet is (a) start it and (b) do a couple of the activities at a time, take a break (even a few hours, maybe do some practice on the next one you plan to attempt) and then go back to do more. I'e done this in previous years when i did all the activities straight after each other and you can feel the pressure build.

Hi everybody! I have just completed my tests and I will do the video part this afternoon after lunch.

I found some elements extremely difficult, but others were easier. Yet, I managed to make some silly mistakes.

Do you guys know how much time will Aer Lingus Recruitment Team need to give us our results?
Have a nice day everyone!

Finished everything today on my second sitting due to work and stuff.

Overall, I would say better than expected but I think the video interview will let me down. I don't like it and basically just got my answers in as quickly as possible. It's way more nerve wrecking than an actual interview by miles and don't understand the need for it.

On the other hand, the other assessments were mostly ok with Maths being a mixed bag, multi-tasking went well, reaction speed was easy, verbal reasoning was well...verbal reasoning, and flight through the boxes proved to ok as well. Deductive logical thinking was a bit heavy.
Don't think I've advanced to the interview stage but fingers crossed!

Is anyone else having trouble loading the video interview part?

When I try to do the sample question, the message on screen says "Please allow your browser to use your webcam and microphone if prompted". I allowed access to both but that message is all I'm getting on screen.

My webcam and mic are both working otherwise. I'm using Chrome if that matters. Anyone able to give some advice please?

7 pages already and no-one has even been invited to the main assessments yet, let alone attended. If ever there was an argument for fully funded programmes, it's this.

Self funded BACF down the page is 12 posts in total and that's pretty much covers their entire selection process.

Hi BBB, yes i'm the same unfortunately.
I have tried a couple of times and have had the same - or else the screen just freezes when i hit start.

I emailed their support team and they said they had rectified it but have just logged in and its still the same.

Google Chrome is up to date, and camera, mic is all ok but no luck..

Bit of a worry now..

I had to download Mozilla. Chrome was just not having it!! Hope you got it sorted!

I had to download Mozilla! Chrome would just not work. Hope you got it sorted.

Guys anyone else thinks we should have a WhatsApp group??

mboqseif no problem :)

I have maths and monitoring ability left to do! To be honest I've been putting them to one side to finish off tonight but the more prep I do the more apprehensive I am. Do you know if they ask about voltages etc. I've actually never even done those calculations in school so I'm trying to give myself a crash course LOL!!! Also do they ask the area of prisms etc?

Guys anyone else thinks we should have a WhatsApp group maybe??

I agree but it's funny how everyone here seems to be insanely competitive even by pprune standards

I completed mine on Saturday in one sitting, when everyone was out of the house! I used the QR code to download an app onto my iphone and used that to do the video interview! worked amazingly!

Finished the tests last night in a onner over about 3 hours with a short break. Found them to be much better than previous years, especially the tunnel one.
The video was uncomfortable lol but I think if you can complete that to a reasonable standard then you will be doing better than most, I bet loads of people just gave up on them.

Good luck all.

Why are you surprised?

all done!!
 

Completed everything this morning. Overall I thought it was very fair and also a good exercise. Fingers crossed I get the nod for the next stage. I’d imagine it’s going to be at least 4 weeks so wouldn’t expect to hear anything until week commencing 19th August.

In previous years application numbers have reached 8,000... this year it didn’t seem to be overly publicised so hopefully less than that apply. But hey, if your not in you can’t win!

It won't allow me to post the WhatsApp group invite link

====================================

Until you have a posting history you don't have access to private messaging and adding urls.

Hi guys,

I completed my assessment this morning in one sitting. Definitely didn't complete in the recommended 120 minutes as suggested in the email. Could potentially have been 3/4 hours. Does anyone know if this is monitored or taken into account?

Thanks.

Highly doubt it, I did mine over 2/3 days and I'm not worried.

Hello all! I finished all tests today! Good luck everyone! I guess everyone on this forum are well prepared, with a certain look beyond the 'horizon'.

One question to all of you - maybe even with some who have already experienced it - what will be next potential steps if you are invited to Dublin? Another full day of computer based assessment + second day with interviews etc.?

:)

Does anyone know how the aptitude tests are scored? Do you need to do well in each test to make it through? Or is there an aggregate score across all the tests?

Does anyone know after completing stage 1 & 2 do you get a confirmation email to confirm submission? or is it just a case of once you've completed all tasks no further action is required? Thanks!

mboqseif - well i really hope after all of these years of trying that you get a chance to be called to interview and hopefully ill be sitting alongside you up there :)

Just finished everything less than an hour ago and maths wasn't too bad but there were some little things that caught me out but overall I'm happy with it! I was having to consult my teenage cousin to re-teach me areas and squares because the examples on latestpilotjobs were much tougher so I was very nervous.

The only thing that unnerves me is that if you go into the personality test, even though I got the notification at the end that I had completed it and that my results are saved it seems to be allowing me back in to progress through it again which is a bit strange. I presume we won't be getting a notification to let us know that the application has been successfully received.

So here begins the 6/7 week wait until this forum starts to blow up again!! haha :D

Deadline passed. The wait begins.

I submitted at 5.10 Irish time , would you say I'm ruled out ? Issues were due to very slow video upload speed and had emailed them before 5 to let them know I would be late, would you say I have no chance now ?! Honest answers please lol

27 is about right. Many people do not even get half the 49 done.

Thought the assessments went well and this is my 3rd year doing them. Do not think I did well enough overall to get through as I would imagine the results need to be exceptional but we will see. Fluffed 2 numerical reasoning questions which should have been one of the more simple components. Deductive logical thinking also was very tricky. I thought the Compass and RBI was simple as I finally got my head around it having struggled in previous years. Its one of those things that takes a while but when you finally understand, it just clicks.
Good luck everyone.
