I doubt it. They will review applications first. They need to check CV, answer to the question, GCSE certificates. No point in them wasting time watching interviews if you don’t meet the criteria.

i also failed on even the SJE. Im a PPL with 180 hours, doing my ATPL theory (haven’t sat exams) and a train driver so don't worry pal. To get rid of people from a multiple choice question test, which answer choice are all very similar, will not define you as a pilot. It’s just a mechanism to get rid of thousands of applicants, a lottery. Go and get your licence, and apply for their competitor virgin Atlantic like i will 🤭 Chin up, carry on. you’ll be fine. If at first you don’t succeed, try and try again 👍

Tests
Hey everyone, I applied on the 19th in the evening. I haven’t yet received any tests or feedback. I am an international citizen but have enquired beforehand about eligibility and received a response that I am welcome to apply as they encourage diversities. I have good GCSE marks and a PPL as well.
Anyone kindly suggest prep material for tests please? THANKS

Yh maths is multiple choice. Definetly will need a calculator and get used to using it efficiently. Pages loaded slow so ran out of time. Even the stupid next button took time to load on some questions. Emailed them about it see what happens. Definitely need to revise the speed equation and fuel calculations like gallons if you're going to do the maths test. If you found it hard don't feel bad about it. It's the time that puts pressure more than anything. Plus you have to factor in reading time as well as you don't want to misread the question.

I’ve said before and will say again. Telling people the tests gives them an unfair advantage and like it or not everyone here is competing for a few places. It’s fairly basic GCSE level stuff so just do the tests, you shouldn’t really need to revise for them.

Just been rejected. I completed the initial tests, situational judgement, maths and the reactions time test. I don't understand what else I can do, I've applied for 7 of these now (Aer Lingus 2019, 2023, Tui, Bristow etc) and haven't made it past round 1. Without risk of sounding like I am a sore loser I've been in the air cadets, flown in the University Air Squadron, got a Physics degree, worked for an aerospace company, have 24 hours PPL flying and now work in the city (to fund the potential training), what else can I do. They never give feedback.
The D&I is swinging dangerously in the opposite direction to the point where white males are being discriminated against - I see some of the cadets who get onto these courses with a small handful of hours (I even heard one person left the sponsored aer lingus course early). How an earth can they demonstrate more commitment than I have. Yes I am a bad loser but if I could just be told where I am going wrong it would help me so much.
