Hey Folks, got the email for online tests a few days ago, haven't had a chance to get it done just yet as quite a lot on!

Can anyone shed any light if the verbal and numerical aspects are like the BA tests? I may have to revisit some notes before attempting them!

Not worried about the other bits!

Just for info, I'm 3000TT 1150 Medium/Small Jet 1700ish TP

Still nothing heard here. Starting to Suspect that's it for me now really.

What's your background, hobnob?

Wx - 3000 hours on a large (and normally tech!) turboprop.

Not sure if they have invited everyone they were interested in last week or not though.

Guys,

if you do the tests please find a proper mouse with a trackball.
You need to be precise in some tests.

Cheers:ok:

I've finally cracked under the tension!:\

Well done to all the experienced Civ types both TR and Non on your invites; but is there anyone else sitting in the Mil(Non TR) pile that can give an idea as to whether they've started on our applications yet? The silence is killing me already!

[4000HrsTT, 1600PiC C130]

Hi,

Anyone think I made a mistake?

I have a bus rating but not 500 hours, so although I'm TRated, I don't meet requirements for option one.

I applied under option two with a note that stated I will have 500 hours soon and I do have a TR.

Heard nothing, wondering if I should have said I have 500....

4000tt, 2000 jet, 400 bus



:ugh:

Hey SCINHead,

I am a MIL non TR guy 2300 TT and 1200 PIC on the C17. I am not RAF but RNLAF :}

I know the feeling SCINHead!

I'm RAF and have heard nothing. The wait is agonising.

Have any other military candidates received an email?

4000+ TT, 3000+ Heavy Jet, 2000 PIC

I came up with this conclusion.
Only speculation of course.

First they will screen the civilian candidates with or without type rating.
Then they will start with the military candidates.

It is only my assumption but given the last posts it looks its like that.

Again, good luck to all:ok:

No news...maybe email problem?
 

Hey guys.

I applied on the 26th of March, so I think 1 day after the application opened. I am Non rated but with 4500h medium jet civilian. I am aware there might be a few thousand applications but its a little bit strange I didnt recieve aswell a confirmation on my email about the application.
A week later after some of your comments I tried to update the email but aswell no confirmation on my email adress which is a gmail.What do you think should I wait, or maybe update the email with another one....

Kind Regards

For those that have completed the tests, can you confirm whether the verbal tests are simply of the "TRUE FALSE CANNOT SAY" category.

Yes, but I struggled to do all in time. In fact I came no where near. Time is the killer!

RAF FJ here with ~3000TT just received the e-mail for online tests.

For the MIL Non TR guys. I got the invite to do the test before 6 may.

Ditto mikehoncho

Me too! Thank goodness for that!

Good Luck in doing the test guys. I try to find out some more info about what to expect and to buy a mouse. Did not do that many job applications in my life, except the Airforce's drinking test to get admitted go pilot training :ok:

Were they listening????
 

Same..:ok:

Good luck all.

A test of your ability to work with complex verbal information in a written

This one above is quite time killer, could not finish it at all :ugh:

A questionnaire measuring your preferred working style

And this one, some questions can be a bit tricky to answer, because in real life more details than those on the screen affects the whole picture, and therefore your approach can be slightly different than the one to choose on the test.

Havent finished all yet, so lets see how it goes with the other ones.

Good luck to everybody;)

Could someone give a run-down of what the tests are and how best to prepare for them?

Just completed all the tests, maths test was easier than I expected. All the tests are quite short, just no where enough time to complete the complex verbal information test. there is no real prep you can do for them you just have to give them ago. Just make sure your in a quiet room. I did them on my laptop just using touch pad and found that ok. All the best.

invite
 

just had my email to complete the tests so they're still sending 'em out!
3500hrs tt

From what I gather on this thread, it seems to be the same or similar online tests that Jet2 gave about 18 months ago for non-rated recruitment.

Has anybody completed the tests for Easyjet yet that has previously been through the jet2 tests to confirm this?

Thanks

Whats is the complex verbal information test?

Also just received the email invite to do the tests. Fingers crossed!

I have one too.

How urgent is it to have a mouse for these tests?

The complex verbal information test is the same as a verbal reasoning test, the only difference is the statement you read from is spread over several sheets but all have only a small amount of info on them.

Got email at 4pm today about online tests.
1,570TT
300; SEP/MEP
870; C212 (FO)
400; B1900D (FO)

Will post again when tests completed over wkd with advice on them.
Good luck :ok:

Is It any way of Training the complex verbal test?,

Thanks

Ah. I'm thinking that the verbal reasoning one will be this sort of thing:

"George is a senior merchant banker and is married to Steve. They have two children that they adopted, one of whom goes to private school and the other isn't yet old enough to attend school. Steve is a stay-at-home dad and enjoys spending time with his [adopted] son. He's planning to build him a tree house this summer."

Which of the following is true?

A) The age at which children start school is 5.
B) Gay couples that are married may adopt children.
C) George will help to build the tree house
D) Women may be merchant bankers.

did you see what I did there?

That's a fairly basic example, but I think you get the idea.

WX man is B the correct answer?
if not I better do a crash course verbal reasoning!

:ouch:
Gearupflapsupshutup can you think of a ladies name shortened to George?
Ergo George is a female banker and the answer is D... Simples:O
Watch out for those tricky sexist/racist/homophobic identifying subtle questions and don't forget about the infamous " Your Captain meets you in the bar wearing a lovely dress.How would you react?

Hey guys.

I got the invitation for the test today. I have until the 6th of May.
4000TT
DHC 8-100 & Q400 2000 HRS
CARAVAN C208 1500 PIC

I will write my feedback when I will finish it.
Gentleman, Good luck to everyone :ok:

Perhaps not the best example to use because it plays on homophobic stereotypes. Better example would have been gained by spending about 5 seconds of my life using google, rather than than the 60 seconds it took me to come up with that!

Such as:

That was pretty similar to the thing used by Jet2 recently.

Interestingly, the psychology behind these sorts of verbal reasoning test would discriminate against anyone who doesn't have a perfect command of English. You'd have to be native or very, very fluent to do well in these tests. They are difficult.

I also believe there's no real way of preparing for them!

Be interested to know if that really is the kind of thing that EZY are using.

Measurement of complex control = Flying down a tunnel with 2D rotating objects with an opening in them. You need to fly through the opening. Use a real mouse if possible. I did it on a touchpad and found my finger moving off the pad a lot.

Measurement of special awareness = A Magnetic gyro and RSI show direction you are travelling and position compared to beacon. you have to guess the location of a plane on a grid from the above information Advice; Make sure you fully understand the example and work out a method before you start. Also time will run out quite quick so be aware.

A test of your multi-tasking skills = Use a mouse to click on and move a runway up and down a vertical strip to line it up with the flight path of a plane. Whilst doing this you have to do a simple sum in the top corner of the page and say if the answer given is correct. Also you have to view a string of letters to see if one letter occurs more than once.

A test of your ability to work with complex verbal information in a written form = you are given information about a company on separate tabs. I.e. structure/Brands/Target groups etc. A question about that info appears below. Tip. You are only given 6 mins and this goes quickly! Don’t read all the info first. Read the question then go to the appropriate tab to gain the info. This is typical verbal reasoning! What more can I say.

A test of your ability to make quick and accurate calculations = you are given a number as an answer. You are then given either 2, 3 or 4 blank spaces with either a +, - or x in-between them. There are no divides (that I got anyway). Also the only time an “x” came up was on its own (i.e. 5 x 7). + and – occurred together quite regularly. You then have the numbers 1 – 9 below that you have to drag into the spaces to make the equation work. You can only use one number once. Tip. A good memorisation of your times tables grid will help you gain a few answers quickly.

This is only what I received on my tests so don’t blame me if you get something different. I feel I did ok but in no way aced it. A mouse would have been a massive advantage for the complex control. Hope it helps and best of luck to everyone.

Cheers WX man!
I now understand the logic behind, I did pass one of these test about 6 years ago... My brain is a different one now :(

I completed the tests this morning. Largely irrelevant, HR designed hoops to jump through but pretty straight forward, nothing difficult at all. I must say though, using the scratch pad I found the hand/eye co-ordination almost impossible....I had to dig out an old mouse to do it properly.

Good luck to all.

Is Windows required or will a Macbook do just fine?

To LOCBLEW

It worked fine with my Mac so I guess will be fine with yours too.

good luck;)
