Tips for the Cathay Pacific assessment

  • Do every module in one quiet session with a stable internet connection — most tests cannot be paused.
  • Speed matters but accuracy matters more: wrong answers usually cost you, skipped ones do not.
  • For monitoring, multitasking and reaction tests, stay calm and keep a steady rhythm rather than rushing.
  • Practise each format at least twice so the instructions feel familiar before the real test.
  • Check your invitation email for the exact modules — batteries change between hiring waves.
