Do you mean the test after the SJT? I havent found anything regarding pass marks yet. I just missed on clicking submit for the 25th questions the time ran out 🤣.

Guess better to have 20 out of 20 correct then try to get all 25 done and only get 20

Hi, I have been talking about it to Skyborne. On the FAQs that they had put out, they said that applicants must have the right to live & study for unto 6 months in the UK (which would make all EU citizens eligible) but the BA web says eligible to live & work in the UK without any sponsorship. So these are 2 conflicting statements. I am in contact with Skyborne about this & waiting to hear back from them.

11am seems to be the magic time, got my maths test link through then!

The BA team said in one of the calls that they couldn’t share the pass marks for the tests but I’m guessing it must be up there.

Sorry to hear, they recommend bitesize on the advanced information.

Personally, I think it's just a case of practice makes perfect. I bought access to some practice tests online and found it helped to boost my confidence and speed up my mental arithmetic.

Assessments

I've completed the SJT and maths assessment over the last couple of days and just done the checking test, 12 questions in 6 minutes is a bit of a push but it's definitely doable. The final question was asking you to select the incorrect answer given below however, all four options were correct...there wasn't a actually an incorrect answer. Ended up running out of time on that last question so just hoping that won't make or break it.

Surprisingly I passed the maths test without finishing the last 5 questions, interesting. Guess I aced all the questions I answered.

For the checking test do you get your result in the same timeframe or is it more delayed?

not sure if the questions are the same, but there definitely was an incorrect one in mine, albeit a subtle error!

wouldn’t say there is much preparation you can do, the test is designed to see how you would respond and if they align with the BA Values/Pilot competencies.

So you are suggesting that next time I appear I should do research on BA values and PIlot Competencies a bit more thorough

Nice to (very slowly) see the return of funded training courses! Hopefully this trend will continue

Same goes for me, assuming the same bank of questions. Made it with about 4 seconds to spare and I almost missed that last, but subtle error!

Original applicants whittled down to......

Hi all,

Just completed the checking exercise. I'm wondering how many applicants are lost from each stage?
Is the next a video/audio type exercise? (Passenger announcement).
wonder how many invited to assessment day and % culled from that?.

Apologies, pretty excited but lots of questions.

It sounds like the same as mine which I think was very sneaky!

Good luck everyone 🤞🏻

Did my SJT yesterday, received a link for maths at 11.30am today which I completed at approx 2.30...the wait is on...😬

I dont know about any of you but the nerves really get the better of me on these tests, I know I'm well capable of them all but need to learn how to manage the nerves/panic better.

I thought the same on my last one (maybe the same question) was a question related to the aircraft their ranges, recent location etc. I believe the A380 row had an error, can’t remember exactly what it was though.
