Does somebody knows the factorizing of hours which is used by easyjet? It seems to be the case as ppjn reports.

If it isn't a PFO for me they just lowered their standards...
It was more down to computer skills and lack of mouse, despite warnings...
Surely EasyJet isn't an apple company hahaha good luck for who will go ahead you lost me in the competition for sure

Don't be too hard on yourself, I am sure you did just fine. End of the day there is probably a benchmark to hit and you may have come inside it. I thought I did well on alot of the tests but one or two I didn't. I had a complete brain fart on the _ x _ x _ = 128 type maths questions which might throw me out too, but hey ho.

Good luck to all.

_ x _ x _ = 128
Not having done the test (and possibly thus being over flippant) but surely 128 x 1 x 1 would be a suitable answer

Can you get 128 from 3 numbers 1-9?

Also the harder ones where all 9x8x7 ... 8x7x6 ...7x6x5 etc etc

aha - well that makes it more entertaining (and understandably somewhat irritating if under time pressure!)

For the numbers you can only use each number ONCE only. Makes it a little more fun, especially with the time constraint.

I found the tests largely enjoyable, especially (I know, I'm extremely weird) the multi tasking one. I think I'd pay to have a little app for that one to keep the old grey matter working as I approach 36. In fact the least fun was had doing the personality questionnaires, but I just TRIED to be honest, although that can be harder than it seems!

Oh and the verbal reasoning. I think I only got half way through!

Flying down the tunnel was extremely hard for me, until I got the knack of slowing down when the panic started to set in - a good analogue of 'letting others know when you are getting overloaded' I felt.

The exercise with the gyro and the RBI flummoxed me for ages and I kept redoing the example until the penny dropped and I stumbled onto a 'system' that worked for me (I think. I hope!)

Anyway, all the info is contained in the examples so I honestly doubt that anyone reading this thread will be much better off for it. Just make sure you UNDERSTAND the examples before you hit 'Let's go!'

Enjoy, all!

Edit: Big tip. Verbalise stuff out load as you are doing the exercises. I'm sure you'll soon catch my drift...

Just finished the tests as well

Think I did ok apart from the Verbal reasoning which was crazy short!
And the maths don't think I did that great on that either as got a couple of wrong answers!

Am I right in thinking that the Maths, Tunnel thing, Spatial orientation and multi tasking tests were all open ended?
i.e. they didn't have a set number of questions you just kept gong for the allotted time?

Anyways good luck to everyone

Wow, I tought I had a lot of hours but if I have to deduct sim and single engine hours and factor the rest by 0.6 I barely make it to 1500. Well if it is for 2014 it will be no problem anymore.

Hours factorisation

Don't know if it's still accurate but that's what I'm using.

Not sure I'm following this correctly.

There was no mention of factored hours on the easy jet application webpage yet on here and pjn they mention factored hours. Surely if factored hours where a consideration they would have shifted through and rejected all those who didn't meet the requirements, it's only pjn that's talking about FH.

Just finished the test, as everybody said, highly enjoyable except verbal reasoning.

The verbal reasoning examples pretty easy but the actual test a pain.

Maths ok not perfect but ok.

All the best guys hope we all do well

PS: no problems logging in todays, I think somebody mentioned some problems logging in.
