FREE AIRLINE SCREENING APTITUDE PRACTICE

ADAPT Test Practice

Cadet programmes screen applicants on aptitude long before they look at your logbook — timed mental arithmetic, physics, spatial reasoning and multitasking, under a clock, with no calculator. Most candidates meet that pressure for the first time on the day. This is where you meet it beforehand, as many times as you want, free.

seven modules live now — Aviation Maths, Physics & Mechanical Reasoning, Spatial & Pattern Reasoning, English Language, Control & Co-ordination, Divided Attention and Attitudes & Airmanship. More modules are being built.

Your practice session

7 modules, back to back, the way a screening battery runs them. No calculator — that is the point. Everything is generated fresh, so you can sit this as often as you like and never meet the same paper twice. Tap a module to include or drop it — the full set takes well over an hour, so drill one weak area if that is what you have time for.

There is no negative marking. A blank is a guaranteed zero and a guess costs you nothing — so never leave a box empty, here or in the real thing.

How this practice actually works

Six things worth knowing before you start.

Timed, module by module

Each module runs against its own clock, back to back, the way a screening battery does. The clock keeps running if you switch tabs — because in the real assessment it does too.

No calculator, by design

Screening batteries prohibit them. Every question is built to fall out of mental arithmetic inside the time available, so practising here builds the habit the real thing demands.

Never the same paper twice

Questions are generated from a random seed rather than drawn from a fixed bank. You cannot memorise your way through it, which is the whole point — you train the skill, not the answers.

Scored on the stanine scale

The 1 to 9 scale airline screening uses, with 5 at the middle. The raw score needed for each stanine is printed on your result, so nothing about the grade is hidden from you.

Every mistake explained

Each wrong option corresponds to a specific error — forgetting to convert minutes to hours, using cosine where sine belongs. Pick one and the review names the mistake rather than just marking you down.

Nothing leaves your device

The whole test is generated and scored in your browser. Your answers and your results are yours; we do not collect them.

A real hand-eye test, not just questions

The Control & Co-ordination module gives you a marker that drifts for a full minute while you hold it on the centre. Drag it, or plug in a joystick and it is used automatically. You are scored on how much of the drift you actually cancelled — and only ever against others using the same kind of input.

Where the theory behind it lives

An aptitude score improves when the underlying knowledge is solid. Both of these subjects are already written out in full on this site, free.

Honest notes on this practice

Your stanine is measured against a published standard, not against other students. The raw score needed for each grade is printed on your result page and you can check it yourself. We will not print a score derived from a population we have not actually measured.

A good score here is not a prediction.It tells you your arithmetic is fast and accurate under a clock, which is worth knowing. It is not a forecast of any airline's decision, and nobody who tells you otherwise can back it up.

Question counts and time limits are provisional. They reflect the shape these batteries are commonly reported to take. As we confirm the real format, this practice is adjusted to match — and this note will say so.
