question bank from Chinese recruiting company
I received a question bank from one of the companies recruiting pilots for China. The contact said these ~1000 questions were "all you needed to know, go through two or three times and you will have no problem".
No 737/320 weight/balance problems were in the bank. They sent about 25 figures with fairly straightforward performance and meteorology problems.
From this thread it would seem they are giving me bad info, although I don't know why they would do so (I assume they get paid when people get hired).
Any chance the test has changed recently, or, there are different versions of ATP test based on airframe? (I'm applying for biz jet). Thanks.

@ requesttheblock:
Don't make the mistake of just trying to memorize this question bank you were given! It's full of wrong answers and to be frank IMHO it's crap. I did the CAAC ATP written last year and prepared by studying the FAA material, except that I studied the CAAC regulations as well. A couple of guys doing the exam with me and who at the time relied entirely on this so called "prep material", flunked the test...twice!
So study your FAA ATP stuff well, be it Gleim, ASA or Kings School, and you will be ok. Watch out for the questions in Chinese! I got 2-3 of them on my exam!
Good luck!

Chinese ATP
I'm the proud holder of a Chinese ATP (sic!).
Although I now hold a bit more "gouge" on study materials for the Chinese ATP, I agree that the best thing to study are the FAA ATP testing material from Gleim, King, and other sources. I had about 10 questions on my ATP exam that were obviously Chinese generated questions. One had to do with "male arousal" .... There were two questions on my exam that were written in Chinese .... There were two questions to which there was no correct answer. I queried the proctors about the available answers and they agreed that none of the answers were correct but that I should "guess and hope".
Bottom line -- study the FAA questions. That's about the best you can do! Good luck!

Does anyone know how long a passed written test remains valid? I sat the exam earlier this year, passed on the first go, but have yet to do the CAAC checkride as I've still been flying N-registered aircraft.

I'm planning to take the caac atpl written test by myself.
Where did you guys take this exam ?
Are we allowed to prepare by ourselves, then contact a test center, register an take the exam ? (I planned to take this exam in Guangzhou, if there is any exam center in this town...)
What about the medical test ?
Can we also take a medical test as a 'free applicant', without beeing enrolled by any local airline ?
Thanks for any help.

Well I recently heard from the CAAC Specifications that they were taking out the FAA database inside and replacing it with there new database. Anyone recently taken the exam to confirm this?

Hey! Does anyone know where Macau stands in terms of databases? Considering that they don't have any Boeing A/C on their registry, I'd assume they'd try a bunch of different q's..

Airbus questions
Anybody has figures for Airbus questions?
Can you post them?
And if they replace FAA questions with Chinese, who's gonna pass it? Does not look like they have time for that, they can't even copy them from FAA book after translating it into Chinese.

Heads up for all rotorheads. No point in even trying to sit for the IR-H. If you are even gonna try to go the China route, you need your 1200 hours and an FAA/EASA ATP to get an exam that is passable. I was there a few months back and 50% of the IR questions that are supposed to be in English are IN CHINESE, and not translated at all. The CPL-H questions are in unintelligible chinglish and personally, I could not identify anyone of the questions from the FAA database as people are claiming.
