Do you know if the course is catered for people who have flying experience? If you have a PPL I presume you don't have to go over it again?

You start from scratch no matter how much experience you have.

Did I read on their page that it will be around the 24th for replies?

[Flightradar247]

On the checking test are you checking for the error in the sample or full table? E.g there is one question where most don’t match

It was mentioned a fair few times by Guy during each Webinar. They made a point of saying everyone will get to do all three initial tests rather than having to pass one before being sent the next.
I'd imagine the "congratulations" email once they send you the link to the following test is just them not rewording the automatic emails that were sent after each stage last year.

It said by the 24th Feb, yes. But I imagine they'll start letting people know before that depending on speed they can read all the CV/motivation questions. I had all 3 tests, PA and then invite to the centre within about 4 days of starting the application last time.

I am just clarifying- it seems everyone is getting an email after each test (situation, maths etc) and you have two days to complete after receiving each email? The digital interview is then one day. Is this correct for anyone that has completed one test then waiting 2 days?

Yep, it's 2 days. You have until midnight the second day after you receive the email for each test. Not sure on the digital interview as I still havent heard anything 2 days after completing the checking test.

they've already started looking at personal statements, i spoke to one of the guys doing the interviews and recruitment and stuff and he said they got 4000 applications in that first day and they've started whittling down personal statements

How did people find the checking test? I ran out of time

Just did it, had 90 seconds left to spare so now I'm worried I've made mistakes

It was the hardest test I thought, managed to finish in time, but maybe I rushed and made some errors, who knows!

[BigglesA320]

How did you find the maths test, out of interest?

[Football1234]

Just completed my one. I finished it all and believe i did okay. I just hope i did not misread a question.

[pipertommy]

Hi,
Is anyone having an issue with the verification of email ? Says it sent and nothing, I have checked my email is correct and nothing in my junk / spam

Much easier than the TUI one if anyone did that, still time pressured but the questions are far simpler.

I managed to finish that one with 30 seconds left although only managed 20 questions on the Maths one and didn't finish.

Same here for me but got 21, no idea how I did but am I the only one who is extremely nervous/ anxious by chance?
