Hello, I am using a variety of the online aptitude assessments, mainly for Maths, English and Logical reasoning.
Check out BBC bitesize's GCSE maths pages as well, and FTE Jerez have an excellent pre-test document which covers all the basics.
If you're not a native English speaker you will need to work pretty hard to make sure your language skills are up to par and check the residency/nationality requirements if you're not a UK citizen.
Hope some of this helps!

If anyone else has any tips, I will appreciate them. Good luck everyone

Hi All seems the self sponsered speedbird is a rebrand of the newly qualified pilot pathway however it is now available and unlike speedbird you will not be on cityflyer just mainline BA or BA euroflyer so operating out of Gatwick or Heathrow . it doesn't allow me to add a url but by typing simply self sponsered speedbird it came up

Dear lads,
You can apply to the Speedbird Academy program and the residency requirement is met by non UK nationals as well, since it stipulates the right to remain in the UK without sponsorship for 6 months. And that's how long phase 1 takes: 6 months. So don't worry about a visa.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone would knew in regards to the Science GCSE, can this be a Btec level 2 equivalent? I did my GCSE's in 2012 and achieved a Merit in 'Edexcel Level 2 First Diploma in Applied Science. I additional achieved grade B's in Maths and English. I have never had any issues with the Btec and went on to University and hold a First class Degree in Finance. I'm now on a big four graduate program studying towards the ACA. Do you think my qualifications will meet the threshold required?
