I purchased a COMPASS kit from https://www.jobtestprep.com/ and its pretty good; 45 Euro's.
I stayed at the Hilton Gardens - its a Holiday Inn with a Fancy Name...best part is that it is 0.4 miles from Republic's building. I posted an earlier review of my visit....It may help you out. The only thing that was a challenge was the math. Not because it was overly difficlut, but because I havent practiced those skills in a decade. If you have any other questions, hit me up. Also, I believe DefTone has been as well and can help out with his experience, too. Best of luck, my friend. //Bruce |

I used some of the free ones and still managed to pass. As Bruce pointed out the most difficult part was the math and that was mainly because like him I haven’t practiced those skills in over a decade, and it is timed without a calculator. I live in Indy so I didn’t stay at a hotel but there are a few brand new ones within a half mile of the training faculty.
Bruce has a really good write up about it in a previous post and my experience pretty much mimicked his. Good luck! |

Thanks! What kind of math was on the exam and was the calculator provided or do I have to provide my own?
Except it’s not multiple choice. You have to provide the answer. Calculators are not allowed so everything is by hand. You get scratch paper and a pen. That’s it... when you go in the room they ask that you put your phone in a basket. |

For those that have attended the LIFT Academy do they have a place to store luggage for those who checked out of the hotel and fly out after the interview?

I used pilotaptitudetest.com to study for the exam and felt that it was overkill. probably 3/4 of what i studied was not on the test and was much more modern than the actual test. In regards to the math, i wouldn't worry about it too much. Just be sure you brush up on your multiplication, long division, percentages, and basic algebra as you will have to work everything out without a calculator. The math was the hardest part to me simply because i cant remember the last time i had to do math without a calculator. Everyone with LIFT/Republic has been very helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process. Best of luck!

They should be using some other more effective types of testing. Your success as a 121 pilot really lies with being able to think quickly, think ahead, memorization, common sense and judgment.The 170/175 series aircraft is extremely automated you won’t be doing long division in the cockpit.
