Same here I completed my checking test on 18th. I managed to do all questions in it, but only did around 21/25 questions in Maths, which is the most worrying part for me. Although I am quite confident that (most of) my answers were correct.

I am in the same boat, finished the checking test on the 14th, that’s a week now so assuming that yes the 24th must be a mass rejection day unfortunately!

If you read a page back, rejection emails have already been sent out. I doubt people would want to come forward and announce that to everyone. Why fear monger? We're not the recruitment team, so we don't actually know anything so don't assume such things.

If we pass the PA, does anyone know what the next stage looks like? Last year the skybourne applicants had some online tests before their assessment day, and fte did the group interviews and further tests in person first. They've said both flight schools will run the same this year, but I can't remember if they said 1-1 online interviews next, online aptitude or in person group interviews

Pilot2025 I know it's a few pages back but scrolling up would reveal easy_99 extremely helpful posts here and here. Alternatively, you can re-watch all of the webinars here.
mesh and others who are asking about practice for Stage 2...
For the AON/Cut-e tests I would recommend Pilotest.com.The benefit is this is free (just need to create an account) and gives you the opportunity to get your eye in. If you feel you need further practice with a slightly different variety of the same tests then a paid for service might be appropriate to finesse your skills. I used airlineassessmentprep.com [19.90euros for a month] but I'm sure there are dozens of others which are very similar.
Last year for Skyborne relevant tests were (no idea if it's the same/different this year though!):· Reaction Rate
· Navigation - Sense of direction
· Moving dots
· Runway multi-tasks
· Tube flight
· Personality test
For the handling tests I'd recommend playing flightsim (if you don't already?!) The test is explained quite thoroughly in the webinars but is basically following pitch, roll and speed on a PFD. If you're on PC then cheap-ish joystick [£47.99] and 14-days of Gamepass for £1 should get you setup with Microsoft Flightsim (if your computer can run it).
For the EAGLE capacity test I'd recommend the "Flight Crew Test" at LatestPilotJobs.com. [$39.95 for a month] Don't over-practice because the BA version is slightly different in exact mechanics but it at least gets your familiar with the style.
