Training for tests!
 

Hello! I am wondering if their is any way to train yourself for the mental tests for the class 1 medical? I mean the simultanious capacity and memory and such things?

Thanks!

Ehhh??? The what?

Ah, the Doc is seeing if you're really thinking of training for this game right now. Then he'll certify you mental........:)

Chicken oriental. Tests?
 

The only thing I can think of is to take your brain with you... As I recall, the only mental test was to shine a light in your ear - light out the other side and you're only issued a class II.

Someone has been jerking your chain, I fear!

I think you need to do a bit more research young one!

Mental tests for the medical.....haha....****e! I must have the wrong class 1! :)

I am not good at saying it in english. I mean psychological tests.

From what I remember there are none. I stand to be corrected but not that I know of.

I wasn't asked to perform any Pyschological tests when I went for my Class 1 at Gatwick; and haven't as yet heard of anyone else requiring this. Although you will find lots of information on the Class 1 medical in the Medical and Health section.

Nope, no psychological tests. At Gatwick:

Nice lady tested my wee.

Nice lady did my ECG

The same nice lady did my Pulmonary Function Tests

And my audiometry.

AND my blood sugar, haemoglobin and cholesterol

A nice bloke checked my eyes (the longest bit)

And then a nice doc gave me a once over (no finger/ bum interaction I recall, but there was a funny ether smell in the room...)

Oh, and who can forget the VERY NICE people who took 300 quid off me!?

And if you look at the above, you can see that there's nothing you can train yourself for, you'll either get a medical, or you won't.

Good luck!

I have applied for a flight school. And they have informed me well that in order to start their training you need to pass the class1 medical as well as one day of psychological tests. Sorry if I didn´t explain well.

You get the medical but then you have to pass the schools psychological tests.


Cheers:ok:

Your psychological test isn't anything to do with your medical, it's done by the specific flight training organisation and they do differ.

You would be better contacting the FTO to see what they recommend for practise, although it's not something you can practise you are either good at it or you aren't.

They are standard psychometric tests - google them and practice online. However, since you won't know the score and type they are looking for, you can't pass or fail. You are you and you can't hide it so no point practicing.

The other tests (compass tests - google it) will be maths, physics, spatial awareness and co-ordination. The first two you can revise, the second two are harder. Keep playing the flight sim.

Of course, if you fail the tests, the school will tell you you have no aptitude for being a pilot. That is probably cobblers and you can always follow the modular route.

Yes but if I fali the tests it means that I will not pass the airlines tests. Not that I am planning to fail tough:=

Oooooh sh!t Whirls, think you may just be (inadvertantly) opening a can of worms there, put yer tin hat on :)

Sorry Frankly, you're right. I thought some may have grown up since the last pasting :}

Have a shot of this:

APST IPAS

It will give you an idea of what they are looking for, if you don't meet the standards, forget going integrated.

If you really want to know if you are good enough, GAPAN have a test that can help give you an idea it costs a lot less than a 70k loan for training that you could fail.

Does the airlines have apptitude tests? Can´t you just answer this simpel question without begining again? Mocking me and saying that I have grown up. I just have one question. Does the airlines have apptitude tests?

Never mind I will check with the airlines myself so you guys don´t begin pushing me around again.

Calm down dear, it's only PPrune.

Yes some airlines do have aptitude tests, some dont.

stict to playing tetris level 10,,,you'll fly through them then......lol...seriously just go in and do it, if they say you fail, it just means you cant enter their specific course, just go modular, it doesnt mean you cant be a pilot... dont take it sooo serious!!!

:D

What happens if you do bad at this test? Does it mean goodby to leading airlines and integrated and sponsored training?

I am about to take the test now.
