Assessment day invitations were sent out today and the assessment days will be held in early August. I wonder how many people have been culled already.

Is there anyone here who attended an assessment day last year and is willing to share how it went?
- Any interview questions or group scenarios that you remember?
- What was the difficulty of the maths and physics written exams? I am guessing it will be mainly Year 12-level Physics and Maths.

Good luck to everyone.

I also got a confirmation for the assessment day in Sydney on the 8th of August. Although I haven't been to the Virgin Australia assessment last year I went to the Jetstar assessment and Im guessing the style of the tests will be fairly similar. The level of maths was fairly basic and consisted of mainly questions in regards to distance/time and a few multiplication and division questions but you were under time pressure. The physics questions were slightly more difficult and a sound knowledge of basic physics principles and calculations would help. The hardest part of the assessment was the psychometric test and I found it quite challenging.

Cloud, Stricko - what did you do in your video submissions to differentiate yourselves. I though mine was ok but I didn't get through so some indication of what you did might benefit me in the future. TIA.

Hmm, exactly the same as I did. Simple, professional, addressing the questions, keeping within the time limits, and multiple takes to correct and prevent errors. That is frustrating that I did the same thing as other people that got through to the next round but I missed out. Good luck guys. I'll keep on pushing by other means. If you're successful, you might be the last ones according to 'Chute above.

Did you do seperate exams for maths and physics last year? Guessing they're all full working too and probably no multi choice. Just trying to figure out which topics to study up on!

The entire exam was computer based split into separate sections. All the questions were multiple choice which I believe is intentional, as every aspect of the exam was under time constraints and I recon the examiners want to see how you perform under pressure and examine your accuracy/speed.

• Written Comprehension exams
• PILAPT Test

Yep, the english/grammar comprehension will definitely be a written exam but the PILAPT test I recon will be mainly multiple choice but we will just have to wait and see!

Hi there, my son also got to send the video where he has to answer the 3 questions in 2 minutes. He has now been invited to the assessment day in Adelaide

What's the date of the Adelaide assessment day? The Sydney assessment day is the 8th of August.

2nd of August

25.06.2018

Funny, if it had been 5 out of 8 cadets were male, this discussion wouldnt be happening!

At the moment we know about:

Adelaide
2nd August

Sydney
8th August
9th August

Is anyone attending an assessment day that is not on the list above? I figure if we know how many assessment days there are, then we can estimate how many people are left in the application pool.

How do you mean? Just from general probability, more of the applications would be from males given the industry.

Yes, I have my interview on the 24th of July in Brisbane

Hi girlsflytoo, congratulations on making it so far. Was it as scary or as hard as you thought it was going to be? What impressed you the most about Virgin Australia?
All communication that I have had with VA and the flight school has been outstanding. They were all super friendly, honest and encouraging. I have been living in Germany for nearly 27 years so trust me you learn to appreciate the difference in cultures and really really appreciate the Australian friendliness and amazingly good manners. If I would be young again like my son I would also enjoy the opportunity to work for such a company.

I have an assessment day on the 30th of July in Melbourne. Also congrats to everyone else who has an assessment day!
