FlyBe Aptitude Test - 20th Nov
Just got my letter off off FlyBe informing me about the 1st lot of tests. Doesn't say much apart from Maths and Physics based to A/S Level. Anyone got any other clues on what to revise. I'm imagining its arithmetic and maybe equations of motion? Any help appreciated.

I find it strange that there has been very little comment on the stage 2 tests at Cranfeild Uni.
Lots of people were anxious last week as to whether their replys had been stuck in a posties sack somewhere. Who got a reply?
Also if there is any further info as to what to expect it would be greatly appreciated. Possibly from those that went through the same process last time around.
Cheers

Stephen, check your pm's

Hi Guys,
I went through the Flybe Sponsorship process about 2.5 years ago, as far as I know the tests are fairly much still the same as they were then.
Round 1 - consisted of a couple of written papers plus an oral test. The written papers are as they say, maths and physics to AS level. Most of it is fairly straight forward, the only questions that I remember giving me problems were formula based questions such as 'What it the formula for finding the area of a circle?' I couldn't remember weather it was 2 x pie x r or pie x r squared! The physics and mechanics papers consisted of diagrams showing cogs or machinary with questions like. If you turn cog a clockwise it would turn cog d a)anticlockwise or b) clockwise.
The oral questions were maths based questions like 'doing 90mph how many miles do you cover in 1.5 hours?' A guy at the front reads out one question every 30 seconds with now pauses, so if you don't work it out at the time you just have to move on.
Round 2 - if successful at round one you are called back to sit the computer based testing and an interview. The computer tests are things like flying the plane through the boxes for hand eye coordination. A weird test was having to pick shapes out of a screen of patterns. You would be shown a shape and then a screen full of patterns, you are then asked if the shape you were shown is anywhere in the patterns. Yes or No. The screen of patterns appears for a certain amount of time that gets shorter with each question until eventually you only get a brief glimpse.
Over all there isn't to much that you can brush up on apart from basic maths and physics especially formula.
Good luck, they are a good company to work for, I am certainly enjoying it.
Cheers,
A.H.

Thanks A.H.
Cheers for that, i must go and memorise all such formulae. I expect there will be a fair amount of candidates at this first test session, the letter suggested they had at least three hundred applications.
Heres hoping i make the last six.
Do you have any news on a new hub for flybe.?
