Default Pilot Skills Test

Hello everyone,

I am updating my American Application and I see there is a new pilot skills test. I haven't taken it yet, I'll probably do it in the next day or so. I was just trying to figure out a little information about it and if there is anything I should do to study or prep for it. Any information would be helpful. Thank you.

You can expect questions like, “which of the following best describes you?”
A. Baby murderer
B. Nazi sympathizer
C. Rapist

Just remember to commit to your answer.

Would you rather:
A: smack a baby
B: kick a puppy


The answer is obviously A. What kind of sick person would kick a puppy??


If these two people were drowning and you could only save one:
A: save the lawyer
B: save the politician


The correct answer is C: get some popcorn and watch them both drown.

Know how to calculate the area of a triangle, area and circumference of a circle, and volume of a cylinder. Get comfortable with calculating how much something will cost if it is marked down x%, or how much the original cost was is given the sale price at an x% discount.

After carefully reading instructions and doing the practice I sat down for maybe a little over an hour. There’s a time estimate per test when you open the portal. Just dive in.

Negative! You will be playing games such moving a point, counting dots, organizing symbols, orientating, mental math, multitasking things, aaand some math problems calculations for 16 minutes. Once you finish you will see “completed” there is no pass or no pass. Good luck!

Did not do any prep.. although i have had done such tests at other airlines so i was familiar with it.. but i did take a break for a while before coming back and finishing it because i needed to go find a mouse for a couple of the tests..

Who cares about the area of a triangle? How does that make someone a better pilot? Walking around DFW, some of those AA pilots look homeless with mental issues and I have to dig through highschool geometry ffs.
