Default Aptitude preparation

Hi,
I am currently in phase in which I must study for flight school aptitude tests. As I read on their website they have pretty difficult entry conditions. I think they test you in math, logical thinking, cognitive skills, sensory-motor skills etc.
Now I have question:
-Is out there any good book that is made especially for aptitude test
preparation?
-I think I should improve my math and logical thinking so I am also looking for this
-What type of physics is included in test(calculating accelaration,electric engineering...) and if you recommend any book or website for exercises.
-Any other books or websites for preparation altough I prefer books.

Thank you in advance.

Is this a program outside the USA?

What you need to know about math to fly aircraft can fit on the head of a pin; next to nothing. Basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, division. That's it.

What aptitude tests for what flight school? There are a lot of metrics out there for measuring pilots; most of them are ridiculous and unnecessary.

Heck, all of powered aviation was started by. A couple of bicycle mechanics. This isn’t rocket surgery...

Aviation is extremely difficult, dangerous, and disgusting, so pilots must be offered vast compensation.
That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.

Sounds like you're not in the US. Check out pprune.org

I dunno. Ever tried to tune a bicycle wheel by tweaking the spokes?
