CAE ADAPT Tests
CAE ADAPT Tests
Does anyone have any info on these tests? Can you practice online first, if so does anyone have a link? Not getting much joy at the moment with my online searches 😟 Thanks. |
Smokie,
I took the ADAPT test in October and I can honestly say that it's nothing to worry about. All I can suggest is practising distance, speed and time calculations over and over as these are the only things you can actually prepare for. The rest (spatial awareness, hand-eye coordination etc.) is meant to test your natural abilities, so its very hard to prepare for because it's so general. Good luck for whenever you take it! |
I used latest pilot jobs oxford package and it was great for speed testing and the questions were the same type - they also have a pretty goof recreation of the ball test and the slalom as part of that package. Combined that with a bit of BBC bitesize revision of physics (electrical theory mainly) and it was all good.
|
Thanks for the replies guys :ok:
|
Qs
Can anyone whos done it here give a detailed explination of what to expect amd to share the outcome of thier assesment .Many thanks
|
I also used Latest Pilot Jobs! was a good resource for the ADAPT Test. It wasnt as bad as I thought if im honest, the physics and maths part, you could brush up a little, just learn the basic GCSE stuff like basic circuits, just give it a read over. Have a look at a ADAPT test being done, on youtube btw, itll give you an idea of what part of the multi tasking ADAPT test is like as its the same software
I didn't actually pass the first time, I failed in March due to the Fixed wing which is sort of like a flight simulator, where you have to maintain an altitude and fly to certain points. The explanation of this is clear enough when doing it, I just reckon I lost concentration at this part. Even though i failed this, CAE gave me the option to move onto part 3 and retake the Fixed Wing part at the same time after 3 months. Overall, check Latest Pilot Jobs and dont be too nervous. I definitely over thought it but I passed and I start at Oxford January 2nd! Good luck! |
I will be going through the ADAPT test at Oxford next month, last time I failed the Ball games aspect (moving the ball on the target using the joystick). Does anyone have any tips for that part of the test?
Many thanks! |
Ive just had a look at the adapt multi tasking part that looks like its relentlessly throwing orders at you ,does it all happen very fast ? And in regards to the ball game, does the ball move just horizontaly and verticaly?
|
Hello Jimmy, how many points did you get on the ball game?
|
I don't know about my score, I never got told what score I got. All I know is I failed it. Shame because it was the very last part of the whole assessment as well. If anyone has any tips for it for my resit then that would be very much appreciated.
|
Anyone know if the test is negatively marked on the new simbonics testing software ?
Cheers |

can you please tell me more about this. Is it the Bundle you have to buy if u pass stage 1 and practice it |
Maths and Physics Bundle
This is the bundle it covers alot of subjects in both maths and physics which will help you alot in the stage 2 assessment and its what i used while revising for my stage 2. Latestpilotjobs adapt test package will also aid you with the other aspects of stage 2 like the red ball test and the Fast test here is an example of it |
Hi all,
I'm currently using CAE's online Maths & Physics bundle package to prepare and there's lessons at the end on the origins of the universe and life of a star etc. Do I need to really spend time on these topics? They seem a bit random compared to the other topics (mass, forces, circuits etc.) i.e. will they actually ask questions on this, or would I be foolish not to revise it because it's literally in the pack they provide? |
Hiya, I'm currently preparing for CAE's Stage 2 selection. For the people who bought the ADAPT package from LatestPilotJobs, which package did you go for? I'm unsure whether I need the advanced flight simulator and working memory test prep for Stage 2 or not. Many thanks

Hello. I have been to CAE oxofrd And i have done th stage 2 Assessments. Unfortunately i didnt pass the physics module and it means i need to re do it if I'm planning to go for easyjet course. However if i want to join the intgrated course then i could repeat the physics module after doing stage 3. Thats not the answer for your question but i think you will need the 1 month package from latestpilotjobs that bas the simulator and the short memory. You need to focus on physics and math more importantly. Because they arent expecting you to be a pro in the simulator they want you to be able to focus and follow the orders. You will enjoy using the joy stick like i did for the first time in my life. Hope that helps and good luck.

Thank you to everyone who has commented on this post! Really helpful! I have an assessment day coming up next month! I just wondered if anyone anyone here who has applied for the women In Flight scholarship? Just being nosey! Thanks guys! |

Hey Rachel,
I have applied for the Women In Flight Scholarship too! I have my second assessment on the 24th! oh amazing! Mine is the 16th of next month! Good luck! ❤️ |
Some are saying you are not allowed a calculator.. some are saying you are.. Maybe for the normal maths and physics tests you are not allowed a calculator but for the progressive ones you are? Does anyone actually know?
|
Do you reckon it’s worth calling them? Just to find out if it’s calculator or not? Also so does anyone know if mental maths would be required or tested? I cannot see it on the pdf but that is my worst point I have to admit! X |
I think it is worth clarifying. I'm going to call them on Monday. In the ADAPT pack they sent me, if you look carefully, it says that NO calculator is allowed on the maths and physics. But then they give you examples of the questions asked, and quite frankly without a calculator, it's unrealistic to do it in your head even if you are very good at mental calculations. For example, how could one be expected to calculate tan(34) without a calculator? :) Correct me if I'm wrong, but either you need to know a handful of trigonometric identities and spend several minutes converting all the numbers and dividing and multiplying on a piece of paper, OR you are actually allowed to use a basic calculator. From what I understand, the maths and physics questions aren't multiple choice, so you cannot simply guess and estimate. If you get the answer wrong, you get it wrong. You don't get marked on 'showing your working' like we are used to in GCSE or A Level.
|
Why not use some initiative and it might give you the edge on the competition. I would expect mental arithmetic with a focus on speed and accuracy - useful for flying as well.
|
The question is about having access to clear instructions for the test that you are preparing for .

You said "why don't you use some initiative". The problem is not with using our initiative, Reverserbucket. Of course we're going to use our initiative and practice some mental maths :rolleyes: The problem is that there don't appear to be any clear instructions about whether we can or cannot use a calc for this test. In addition, there are numerous posts with conflicting information, which arouses further confusion. It would be nice to know for sure, that's all.

Your initiative should be to prepare for both cases. I did assessments with mental maths and others with the usage of calculator.
|
All the best! That would be great!
|
To be clear to those wondering, you are allowed to use a calculator for the Maths and Physics.

CAE assessment 2019
Hello guys, I’ve just gone through the stage 2 assessment and now I can clear a few things! And tell you what I thought...
Maths and Physics!
|
Pretty good overall coverage of the assessment, we were in the same batch - Have you heard yet?
|
Hello! I haven’t heard yet! Have you? How did you find the assessment? |
ADAPT Tests
As there is discussion of ADAPT tests here we thought it would be useful to clarify a few points.
The ADAPT tests are widely used for selection at airlines and ahead of flight training programs. The ADAPT test battery varies per airline or training school, however, if you want to familiarise yourself with the ADAPT tests including FAST, Ball Game, Maths, Physics and cognitive reasoning, you can access them on our ecommerce site to help you know what to expect before your assessment day. Each test contains randomly generated questions and will be unique, allowing you to practice and revise as much as you feel would be helpful on each individual subject. If you are unsure what tests you will be taking on the day of your assessment I recommend that you contact the training school, company or airline and ask them so that you know which ones to practice.Please note we are aware of other websites claiming to offer preparation for the ADAPT tests – these are in no way affiliated with Symbiotics and the tests available from these sites are not our ADAPT tests that you will be taking on your assessment day. We do not have resellers, distributors or partners.All the best on your assessment day and future career in aviation and if you have any questions about the ADAPT tests we’ll be happy to help, please message us on here and we will be happy to respond to your queries. |

for example move stick left = move ball left move stick right = move ball right but move stick up = move ball down and move stick down = ball moves up you can change the setting on latest pilot jobs so move the stick down = down etc Which is the setting in the actual CAE adapt test |
Hello, I`m going to have an adapt test in the next two months, I see many positive recommendations about the latestpilotjob, how about the skytest, please can anyone give me a review
|
Agreed, trying to work out which is better of the 2, or if it is just worth splurging for the Symbiotics testing. Would really appreciate if past applicants could share their experience and thoughts.
