BA Speedbird flight school maths test
Posted by Cherrycokepanda@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 18 comments
Has anyone completed the BA maths test for this round of fully funded ATPL, I only answered 8 questions and I’m certain I got those 8 questions right… but it feels like I’ve failed massively as I’ve not answered even half the questions…

I’ve just done the maths test too, have you gotten any emails since apart from the receipt of completion?

Yes I got an invitation to the final exam, it’s essentially an error finding exercise. It’s not challenging, how many questions did you complete on the maths exam ?
No_Negotiation_656@reddit
Very nice, I haven’t yet got the invite to that, I just completed the maths about an hour ago, I answered 24 questions but just about ran out of time on the last one. Didn’t find them too bad however I have an Engineering degree so I’m quite used to maths, the practice questions on the Pre-Application portal were very useful too

Good man ! I’m sure you’ll blast through this, I won’t hold much hope out for my results then 😅 worth a shot I suppose 😂😂

Just going to try my best man! None of us know how these stages are really assessed so it’s all we can do. Nevertheless wish you all the best in your application and hope to see you in the skies one day

Did you get your invitation to the final exam today ?
No_Negotiation_656@reddit
Not yet, still waiting on mine, how did you do on the 3rd one?
Cherrycokepanda@reddit (OP)
Third one is a doddle, just spot the difference on a graph. I got to the final question but I pressed answer as it times out so not sure if I answered them all or not
No_Negotiation_656@reddit
Yeah I found the third one pretty good too, also got 11/12, literally just ran out of time to click on the last!

How long do you get to answer the 25 questions?
No_Negotiation_656@reddit
You get 18 minutes

How challenging are the questions?
Cherrycokepanda@reddit (OP)
I can’t quote the exact questions but I found it relatively challenging at a GCSE maths level, allot of conversions Ratio’s along with your standard subtractions and multiplications and divisions.

Is a calculator allowed?
Cherrycokepanda@reddit (OP)
You are allowed a calculator and pen and paper if needed, but no outside assistance.

Are there any equations I should study before I sit it? I haven’t done GCSEs in a while!
Such-Fault5377@reddit
Nobody is allowed to share information about the assessments or what is in them, also wise to point out if BA found out who you were they’d have your application withdrawn for asking this
