Tips for the British Airways assessment

Practise under the real time pressure — most Aon modules are designed so candidates do not finish.
For GYRO/RBI spatial items, sketch bearings before answering; do not rush the first seconds.
Complete related on-site modules (scales cls, gridChallenge, scales verbal) even if some pilot-only tests are not simulated here.

Frequently asked questions

Does British Airways use Aon (cut-e) for pilot selection?

Public candidate and prep sources report that British Airways uses Aon Assessment Solutions (formerly cut-e), usually delivered via MAPTQ. Always confirm the provider named in your invitation.

Which practice tests on this site match the pilot battery?

Practice the on-site modules listed on this page (for example scales cls, scales verbal, gridChallenge). Aviation-only modules such as spatial orientation and reaction speed are described here but not yet simulated on-site.

Can the battery change between hiring waves?

Yes. Airlines select modules from Aon's library, so the exact set can differ by campaign. Treat module lists as commonly reported, not guaranteed.
