You won't have time and it doesn't let you revisit questions anyway

Important messages:

• There will be a delay of up to 2 working days between submitting your application and being invited to the first test.

• After being invited to a test, you will have a maximum of 2 calendar days to complete it (e.g. if you are invited on a Thursday, you have until 23:59 on Saturday to complete it)

• After completing any of our tests, you will receive an update on the next working day after finishing the test module. Please wait for an update before contacting us to check the status of your application.

• If the Speedbird Pilot Academy application window closes early, you can continue with your online testing, provided you have created and submitted an application whilst the window was open.

Can someone please confirm that the deadline for completion is always 23:59 on the second calendar day and not based on the time the email was sent

if you can get a visa which gives you the right to live and work in the UK (e.g. youth mobility scheme visa for canadians, aussies, and kiwis) without sponsorship, you are eligible

[bgcommepapa]

yes, deadline is always at 23:59 on the second calendar day as it states, but you shouldn't be waiting until then anyway

Checking test

I’ve just completed the checking test. How did people find it?

Rejection

After being successful with all the tests last year I seem to have failed the checking test this year, absolutely gutted about this and it’s annoying to know. But good luck to everyone else.

Thanks. Was just doing a check, in case I misinterpreted, but clearly day of notification is not included in count of 2 calendar days max.

Sorry to hear, they were more challenging this year, keep at it! Still waiting mine 😬

Sorry to hear this. How long did it take you to find out after completing the checking test?

I thought I smashed the checking test out of the park but I just got the rejection email as well... such a shame

[my_call]

Sorry to hear that. It's inevitable to feel gutted. Keep at it. You can only join the dots looking backwards

Does anyone remember what the final question in the Maths Test was about? Just finished the test and had to guess my last question which was about a Neo and number of passengers. When I went to press next I timed out. I'm hoping that question was the last or at most second last?

So if you skip over one because you think it'd take too much time to answer, you don't think, even if you have time at the end, you can go back to it? I can't believe that's the case. Can anyone else confirm?

[DiveMaster]

I remember it saying at the beginning of the test that you can't go back to questions. They said that was the case for the SJT too but I was able to change one of my answers. I didn't check whether this was the case for the maths test though.

That is the case. They state that with the initial instructions before you start and I agree that it's moot because you won't have the time to go back.

Did you get a rejection after your checking test? Or are you anticipating a fail?
I am waiting to hear back so wondering if no news is good news.

[KoalaKandy]

Just completed by checking test and yes, a touch more difficult than last year but I'd got through all the questions or so I thought!!

On the very last one - I'd selected my answer with 5 seconds remaining and no final 'Continue' or 'Submit' button appeared - leaving the test to time out.

I've emailed them explaining which answer I'd picked but couldn't submit. Doubtful it'll help at all - but will be a shame if that's the make or break for me proceeding...

[chris09]

I finished with a couple of minutes to spare and was able to go back and check a couple of answers - I had guessed one that I thought was taking too long so was relieved to be able to go back to it and correct!

[my_call]

In that case the instructions were wrong then and I stand corrected on both accounts. That is some impressive speed. Just to be clear, for which test are you referring to? I was referring to the maths.

Just got the news that I didn’t pass the checking test :/
