Qantas - SHL Pyschometric Tests
Qantas use SHL as the providers for their pyschometric testing. Does anyone out there have any web links or book recommendations that closely resemble the SHL tests.
I know there are plenty of IQ books out there but SHL questions are all based on a graph or table of information and I have found it somewhat difficult finding a book or website that has a whole lot of these styled questions.
Thanks in advance...

Mr. Garro,
QANTAS have a sample test on their website, find it in the pilot/qualifications area of the site.
Cheers and good luck with the test.

Since my last post above, I have also read that there are some simple things we can do to train our mind to be more effective at these sort of tests:
1) Read, anything you can get your hands on and do it a lot. Preferably read quality material that will get the brain going, not trashy stuff and picture magazines don't count!
2) Crossword puzzles.
3) Number puzzles, such as sudoku etc.
4) Go to TAFE or where ever and do a short course, something you'll be interested in that will stir the mind.
I have been doing all of the above and enjoying it.
Has anyone got some more hints to add?
Cheers all.

Type "cognitive ability tests" into your search engine. There's oodles of sites with these types of test.
This could be the sort of thing you're after.

You can actually construct your own 'cube' tests (with the patterns on each side). It's really easy, you'll become a master at them.
I did that. And finished the actual cube testing at Qantas in 40% of the allowed time!

PATS Course
If you've got the money to spend (I guess it can be another part of the whole Aviation dream investment fund), the PATS course has been a big success for many pilots for giving them the edge during the Assessment 2 Stage. Have a look at the new website which will be officially launched on Monday.

Pricing is mentioned under the Qantas area in the Airlines Link. I wish this existed when I first did the testing, I'm sure it would have helped!

That course is a complete waste of money you can do it all yourself for peanuts. And if everyone practices for the testing then it really defeats the point of having the testing in the first place.

Have you done it? If so....whats your reason for that response....for someone who is thinking of investing that money...I need to explore all avenues especially feedback from previous course members.
Thanks, PA

$3000 for two days is ridiculous. If you spend a bit of time looking for the right books or other material, and you put in the necessary time to prepare, you are a good chance at passing and going on to the next stage. But if you want to be spoonfed and have the money, then go ahead and do the course.

Each time I see Qantas pilots at the airport, I stand in awe knowing that each and everyone one of them know how to fold those cubes properly. How I wish I can one day be in the company of fellow successful cube folders.
