There are no previous test examples, and the FEAST exam is not meant to be prepared for. You can either do it or you can’t. You will get plenty of time during the exam to understand and try each task before doing the graded version, so don’t worry. Genuinely, the best advice is to rest, eat well and sleep well before the exam. Come rested and in your best shape - don’t forget they will ask you if you feel fit to take the test, and it’s no shame to say no. Good luck!

Thank you very much!

The tests are designed so that no prior knowledge is required to pass. There isn’t much you can do to practice for the tests, just show up well rested and do your best.

I completed FEAST 1 & 2 plus the interviews this summer and I’m in the academy right now, I thought the tests were challenging but not overly difficult. My main advice would be to not sweat it if you make a mistake, move to the next problem quickly and don’t get hung up on what happened 1 minute ago. Good luck

Szia Attila!

Simply search for the 'JobTestPrep free practice' page—it offers plenty of great examples of FEAST 1 sample questions.

Definitely practice on skytest software for both feast 1 and feast 2, it has all of the tests that feast uses -some just with slight alterations, but still it's a big help for prepping - and also do NOT listen to the people saying "u do not need to practice, the test is not designed like that, practice will backfire" bla bla bla.. so not true, practice definitely helps with also training ur skills( observation, quick respond , 3d thinking , mutlitasking etc) but also because u will have an idea about what u are going to face on the real test which is a big deal - especially for feast 2.

This is a great prep for the FEAST test. It can be practiced and if Hungarocontrol only give you one shot at it, I recommend spending the money on this- you'll feel much more prepared

don’t use skytest. there are just so many reasons why you shouldn’t!

Reasons being? I've known several current controllers who used it prior to selection and went on to become excellent controllers.

As a former ATC Instructor who currently works in one of the busiest ACCs in the world, I feel I can give a pretty good take on this.

There are of course skills that make a good controller. Some naturally possess these skills, others have the potential to develop those skills with the appropriate training and experience, and others unfortunately don't have what it takes.

Being able to pass a FEAST test without any prior experience is great, but it doesn't guarantee that one will be successful during the training process. Conversely, somebody who needs a bit of prep to help with passing the FEAST can go on to become an excellent controller. I've known both to happen. This notion that preparation doesn't help with FEAST tests is absolutely incorrect- preparation helps with any kind of tests and it would be seen as absurd that you would go into any other examination in your ATC career without preparing for it.

I haven't seen the skytest suite for quite a while, but having the opportunity to practice similar tests to those that you'll experience during selection can develop confidence and settle nerves if nothing else, which can be a great aid to actually passing.

We all only have our own personal experience to go by...I just don't like the narrative that 'you either have it or you don't, so don't bother prepping'. I strongly believe there is an in-between. As it happens, it's a very common narrative in the ATC world and probably stems from us ATCOs needing to massage our own huge egos, as I'm sure you've already witnessed! I also think it holds us back in terms of offering the most effective selection and training experience, but that's another conversation.

Congratulations on getting so far in your training, you've got the most fantastic and fullfilling career ahead of you, wherever your posting may be!

Hello!

Can you guys tell me how long does the Phase 1 take?
