What aptitude books are best?
Hi there,
Would really appreciate it if thoughs of you who have passed an aptitude test at , e.g BA's one or Aer Lingus's, could tell me what type of preparation you did for them?
What books are best to get for such preparation? If possible would really appreciate it if you could tell me the ISBN number as well, as I will probably have to order it.
Finally once I have got my A-levels, I am going to apply for the sponsorship with BA this August. I rang BA up and they told me I can apply then. How often does BA run this sponsorship and how long do you have to apply to it, i.e what is the closing date?
Thanks
Best wishes,
David

Just a bit of advice, ring up to get the application in now!! It will take you a long time to fill in all the questions, it took me much longer than expected.
The one book I got to help me with my verbal reasoning (which is what I failed the first time at BA) is "The official guide for GMAT".
ISBN 0-446-39638-9 . You can buy it online from Amazon.
Hope this helps!

U also can apply to BA online which is particularly good if you have not great handwriting etc.
Does anyone know if BA prefer written or web based or arn't they bothered?
I don't know really, it is the content that counts etc.
Minimum requirement are 2 a levels at grade c or equivalent therefore think u can only apply once u have that certificate in your hand.

At a guess BA probably prefer it hand written. I'm only saying this because when I sent my first form in a few years ago, I managed to print it on, the year after and they changed the wording so that you could only write it.
Things may have changed but I hope this helps.

unless you're asked to handwrite it and you go and print it anyway - it which case you've got no chance 3g!
Going back to the original question, books published by Kogan Pages are good for practise, as is a book called How To Win At Aptitude Tests. Also the SHL website has some good practise tests. Have Morrisby got a web-site??? Worth a try if they have.

Ah! Well spotted...!
What I meant to say (and indeed highlight) was that BA offer both applications by post and via the Web for the CEP. Therefore, there will be no 'preferential' treatment if an applicant handwrites their application (i.e. sends it to BA by post) or electronically (i.e. via the web) as suggested earlier in the thread. Apolagies for not making my point very clear!!
As you may have guessed (!), the VR test was the cause of one of my failed applications to BA and 'The official guide to GMAT' is an EXCELLENT book for practicing these types of questions, (I got to FB the following year!). If anybody has any doubts about the VR tests, then this book is priceless in my mind.
Good luck to all...
