Steps
Ask your airline which test provider it uses, such as Cut-e, and which sections you will sit. This tells you exactly what to practise.
List the cognitive sections you face: numerical reasoning, verbal reasoning, logical reasoning and spatial reasoning. Treat each as a separate skill to train.
Do one full set of sample questions untimed first. Note which question types slow you down or cause errors.
Practise your weakest question type in short 10 to 15 minute sessions. Work through a few questions, then check every answer and write down why you got it wrong.
Add a timer once accuracy is steady. Aim to answer each question within the time limit the real test uses, and build up speed gradually.
Take a full mock test under real conditions: no pauses, no phone, same time limit. Score it and compare with your earlier attempts.
Review the personality section questions and answer honestly and consistently. There are no right answers, so do not try to guess a profile.
In the last two days, do light practice only and get a full night of sleep. Arrive early so you start calm.
Tips and common mistakes
Accuracy comes before speed: a fast wrong answer scores nothing, so fix your method first.
Keep a log of every mistake and the reason for it, then revisit that list before each practice session.
Practise the exact question formats your airline uses, since generic IQ tests may not match the real layout.
Do not cram the night before; short daily sessions beat one long session.
Questions
What is a pilot aptitude test?
It is a set of timed tests used in airline hiring. It usually includes numerical, verbal, logical and spatial reasoning plus a personality questionnaire.
How long should I prepare?
One to two weeks of short daily sessions is enough for most people. Start with untimed practice, then add a timer and finish with full mock tests.
Can I fail the personality section?
There is no pass mark. Answer honestly and consistently, because the airline is checking whether your style fits the role.
