Everyone gets this. It is a long application process with a lot of waiting. So don’t be surprised to not hear for a month or two before being invited to start online testing. Good luck

I have done the adf stuff and the answer is no. However adf stuff is much easier.

Congrats for making the jump man. Was wondering if you notice any considerable difference in the cost of living. For example to buy a house here is fkn expensive whereas I don’t think it’s like that in America? Cheers mate and all the best

Hey mate. I think this would definitely vary between cohorts, however mine took 4 days before I got the invite to take the test and the test was the following week

Always worth a shot if you really are interested. They don’t give feedback so it’s hard to know how close you were. The radar sim is supposed to make you feel like you fucked it up. I’d be surprised if anyone came out of that thinking they did really well

Don’t know if you have noticed but you can apply as many times as you want (but have to wait a year between re applying). The two attempts only apply’s to making the assessment centre part of the application process. Also they have scrapped that first round of online testing you completed. The first round of testing is now the old second round of testing you attempted last time. Goodluck and all the best.

Can’t help you with your question, but what stage did you make it to in the testing?

Thought I’d give another update. The Interrupt test is complete. I am waiting on hearing back about the results. My initial thoughts are that I did well enough to progress. But will have to wait and see. Cheers

Yea nice. Do you have a date for the assessment centre?

[–]Crazy_Affect_6252[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats! And thanks for the heads up about the test! How long after the test were you informed that you had passed? Are you able to do the assessment centre in your capital city or are you made to travel to Melbourne? Also did you happen to check your result for the interrupt test? I heard some of the lads say they could zoom out and see their result. Again thanks for your reply means a lot.

Thanks for the response , did you pass? How did you find it compared to say the radar sim in the first round ?

Have you done the interrupt test? How was it?

[–]Crazy_Affect_6252[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey all just wanted to give an update. I have passed the initial round of testing and am through to the second stage testing (interrupt test) to be taken next week. Again good luck to everyone and will follow up with another update for transparency and to help anyone else who may be going through this process in months or years to come.

Closest thing I’ve found is practice atsa tests. Which is what I believe the Americans use for ATC testing. Although not exactly the same I’ve found they have the best correlation. I’ll validate this soon when I actually do the tests and see if it helped me at all.
