Made it onto the passenger announcement! I think it was the hardest section because its quite a different format and whereas I had done math's tests previously this was completely new! I think 100% View some example passenger announcements before you complete the task

I think I completely screwed up the announcement. I didn't see the countdown timer that auto-submits your first answer if you don't click re-record in time, because my screen is small and my notepad was in the way. So my first completely fluffed practice where I stopped talking halfway through was the one that was submitted. Absolutely gutted and not sure what to do about it. To come all this way and probably bomb out due to a website interface rather than ability would be a shame.

I was happy enough with the second answer but I suspect it was done and dusted after the mistake on the first one. Same issue as you in that the screen was too small and I didn't see the auto-timer. Very poor interface.
Ah well, I'm pleased I made it this far. Hopefully if I'm lucky enough to make it through again for next years batch I'll know what to do properly. Good luck to everyone involved!

Hi, I just complete the checking test unfortunately I thought too much about the last even though I had time to spare, and I didn't click on "next" one time so I might have one error. For those who passed the checking test successfully. Is there someone that passed and got at least 11/12 ? And how did you answered to the "rows" questions ? Good luck y'all

According to the zoom calls they look at your application answer and cv after completing the three initial screening tests.
I got timed out just as I was clicking on my final checking test answer so don't even think it was selected, but still managed to get through to the PA announcement. If you got the others right there's still hope.

Looking at the previous selection information and threads, you should be able to find that the in-person assessments are the aptitude tests with the flight schools. You will get placed into one of the two flight schools (FTE Jerez or Skyborne), and then you have a date to choose from. On the day of the assessment, there will be aptitude tests to complete. If you pass this stage, then you will be invited to the British Airways Assessment.
Any idea what the aptitude test entails please?

Hi All,
Just trying to understand where I went wrong. Does this email mean I passed the checking test but failed the application? Are you specifically told if you fail the checking test? Thanks.

Sorry to hear you havent progressed.
Unfortunately you are not informed if it's the checking test of the Motivational Question and CV.
Some have said that who got the rejection email within 24 hours of the checking test - was due to not passing the checking test. If its more than 24 hours than they have reviewed the application and then sent out the email.
A learning experience for sure - use it and apply again in the future!

I think the general consensus is that if you received the email the day after the checking test, you failed the checking test and if it was recieved a couple of days later then its the application.

Hi guys i’ve been seeing people on the internet claiming that we can only ever apply to this program three times… I’ve already applied twice and if this is the case, then i’ve only got one shot left. Can anyone confirm?? or is this a rumor ?? The Ba website doesn’t say anything about this.
