Hi!
I'm hoping to apply for this programme sometime in the near future after I complete my curent education. Just wondering about this specific test as not everything was made clear on the Speedbird Pilot Academy powerpoint.
I'm aware that the purpose of the maths test is to assess the mental numeracy of the candidate in a timed situation,. However, I wanted to know if this is solely mental maths or if you're given working out space to scribble down notes, like in GCSE's.
I appreciate the help.

That’s for the initial online tests, assuming you get through to the later rounds you will face more maths tests, for example, if you apply to FTE, you’ll have written tests for which you’re allowed a calculator and get plenty of paper to use.
As for the further online tests with Skyborne, based on this thread I’m under the impression you can use a calculator. At any rate, you’ll be informed in advance so you have some time to prepare.

Do you think the delay is because they go over your whole application again? I was under the impression it would have been a quick turnaround as assumed it was pass/fail but they are obviously looking deeper in.

There are probably a lot of people with similar scores, and they will need to filter further I'd imagine. I think as well that this is not a full time process for those involved at BA - and possibly for FTE too

Email for skyborne candidates
Just got my testing response from BA - unfortunately not successful though I am not surprised due to the difficulties I had with some of the tests. Good luck to all who have passed to the next stage!!
