Chicken oriental. Tests?
The only thing I can think of is to take your brain with you... As I recall, the only mental test was to shine a light in your ear - light out the other side and you're only issued a class II.

I wasn't asked to perform any Pyschological tests when I went for my Class 1 at Gatwick; and haven't as yet heard of anyone else requiring this. Although you will find lots of information on the Class 1 medical in the Medical and Health section.

Nope, no psychological tests. At Gatwick:
Nice lady tested my wee.
Nice lady did my ECG
The same nice lady did my Pulmonary Function Tests
And my audiometry.
AND my blood sugar, haemoglobin and cholesterol
A nice bloke checked my eyes (the longest bit)
And then a nice doc gave me a once over (no finger/ bum interaction I recall, but there was a funny ether smell in the room...)
Oh, and who can forget the VERY NICE people who took 300 quid off me!?
And if you look at the above, you can see that there's nothing you can train yourself for, you'll either get a medical, or you won't.
Good luck!

I have applied for a flight school. And they have informed me well that in order to start their training you need to pass the class1 medical as well as one day of psychological tests. Sorry if I didnīt explain well.
You get the medical but then you have to pass the schools psychological tests.
Cheers

Your psychological test isn't anything to do with your medical, it's done by the specific flight training organisation and they do differ.
You would be better contacting the FTO to see what they recommend for practise, although it's not something you can practise you are either good at it or you aren't.

They are standard psychometric tests - google them and practice online. However, since you won't know the score and type they are looking for, you can't pass or fail. You are you and you can't hide it so no point practicing.
The other tests (compass tests - google it) will be maths, physics, spatial awareness and co-ordination. The first two you can revise, the second two are harder. Keep playing the flight sim.
Of course, if you fail the tests, the school will tell you you have no aptitude for being a pilot. That is probably cobblers and you can always follow the modular route.

Have a shot of this:
APST IPAS
It will give you an idea of what they are looking for, if you don't meet the standards, forget going integrated.
If you really want to know if you are good enough, GAPAN have a test that can help give you an idea it costs a lot less than a 70k loan for training that you could fail.
