Excellent result.

I bought this for my son who had previously failed an assessment. He says it was very easy to use, covered all aspects of his assessment and customer service was prompt, friendly and very helpful. He would recommend it. He has since passed his assessment.

Dear Pete,

I'm sorry to hear about your experience in February 2023.

While the 'Basic' subscription you chose offered only limited functionality and materials when compared with other subscriptions, I understand this may not have been clear at the time.

In mid-2024, we launched an entirely new platform that removes tiered subscriptions entirely. All features are now included as standard, accessible across all devices, making preparation more straightforward and fairer for every pilot candidate.

If you'd like to try the new platform, please contact us at support@pilotaptitudetest.com and we'll set you up with a complimentary three-month subscription.

Happy landings,

Teddy

This website is a scam

This website is a scam. To every aspiring pilot, please DO NOT USE THIS. I was able to log in and used it on the day I purchased it. My joy stick did not work on my macbook (mapping did not work) On the next day, i tried to log back in but it says that I was locked out due to multiple attempts. I was so sure I entered my info correctly, aside from it was automatically saved on my laptop (mac) when i created it. Also, I made sure to write down every new log ins and passwords that I create. Tried to reset password and the link that was sent to my email didn't work. I contacted support- no help. SCAM! Every time I try to log back in, it would always lead me to the page where I need to purchase again. waste of money!

Dear Chacha,

I'm terribly sorry about the experience you had in 2020 when preparing for your flying school assessment.

The technical problems you experienced, being unable to access the software and the lack of support were unacceptable, and I understand wholly the frustration this caused.

To prevent such issues from recurring, we built an entirely new platform in mid-2024. This new platform represents a monumental change to both the software and business operations.

The new platform introduces major improvements over the previous version, including comprehensive support for joysticks, pedals and other controllers, robust compatibility with Mac, Windows, iOS and Android, and real-time support, manned by human beings (not AI!) between 9AM to 9PM to ensure pilot candidates get the guidance and help they need.

On behalf of everybody who has worked to build the new version of PilotAptitudeTest.com, I would like to apologise for the considerable frustration and upset that this experience caused.

To further apologise, we'd like to offer you a three-month subscription to our preparation software, both as a gesture of goodwill and to enable you to experience the new version.

If you'd like to take up this offer, please contact us at support@pilotaptitudetest.com.

Wishing you safe flying,

Teddy

Dear Bart,

I'm very sorry about your experience in 2019.

We reached out in 2020 about our planned redevelopment, and I'm pleased to confirm our new platform launched in mid-2024.

The software has been completely rebuilt to help both aspiring and experienced pilots grasp both the fundamentals and nuances of computerised pilot aptitude testing, as well as to effectively prepare them for their specific assessments at a flying school, airline or in a cadet scheme.

Our previous offer of a free subscription to apologise for your experience still stands - please contact support@pilotaptitudetest.com if you'd like to try the new version.

Blue skies,

Teddy

Paid for their super plus package No logging details received.

Paid for their super plus package through PayPal, no login details received, 3 emails sent, 2 phone calls, with 2 promises that they will be back to me just right after,

I feel they stole from me, Will claim now the return of the money from PayPal.

unfortunately won't get any return on the time and energy trying to give them an opportunity

Dear Ignacio,

I'm terribly sorry about your experience in 2018 and for the lack of support that was provided at the time.

In mid-2024, we launched an entirely new platform rebuilt from the ground-up and which represents a complete transformation of both our software and business operations.

We've introduced real-time support, provided from 9AM to 9PM, to ensure that we're able to offer guidance and direction to pilot candidates when they need it most, and to guarantee that the above circumstance never happens again.

On behalf of everybody who has worked to build the new version of PilotAptitudeTest.com, I apologise sincerely for the lack of communication, your inevitable frustration and the time you wasted.

As a gesture of goodwill, and to apologise for your poor experience, we'd like to offer you three months of access to our preparation software. We've reached out through email.

Safe flying,

Teddy

Tests let down by poor control, awful web design & layout, bad / nonexistent service

I had sought to give myself any advantage possible when completing my online assessment for a pilot position.

PilotAptitudeTest.com do not offer a free trial, so unaware how their online software performs I took a subscription based upon their refund policy which states:

"If you purchase a subscription from us, and decide within 12 hours of subscription activation that this product does suit your requirements, we will provide a full refund"

Upon starting to use their software it became immediately apparent it was of a poor standard, the website is difficult and awkward to navigate, requiring full page use - without this all features cannot be accessed. The controllability of their tests is very awkward and unresponsive, despite the test otherwise accurately representing the actual aptitude tests. Their tests only seem to use cursor / keyboard controls, all the online tests I have performed have far superior control utilising the mouse, therefore unfortunately due to the extremely poor level of control of their software it is pretty useless at practicing for an actual test. Also the instructions for how to control each test were not located with the actual test in question, but appeared in a large pdf file with every tests instructions in the one file, this made finding specific instructions a lengthy and irritating process.

Within an hour I had experienced enough and tried to contact them to get a refund as per their refund policy. I emailed them, I used their live support feature and I also called them (this was on a Sunday so didn't expect a response immediately, or anyone to answer their phone) however my emails generated an auto reply which stated I would get a response within 24 -72 hours. On the following Monday I called and a receptionist said that "all available staff were busy" and she would arrange someone to contact me later. Over a week later and still no response from anyone, I was only able to get a full refund through PayPal's dispute resolution service.

I would either look elsewhere or just perform the short 'demo' of each online test you actually need to do, as many times as you feel necessary until you are confident of performing well on the actual test. On my online tests this was available and was not marked in any way.

This unfortunately just seems to be another small organisation trying to 'cash in' on peoples desire to become airline pilots. Their software which is the only service they are selling is so poor as to be of no use at all, and their customer support and service is nonexistent entirely.

Please heed my advice and avoid.

Dear Nigel,

I'm genuinely sorry about your experience in 2018. Your review is completely justified: the poor controls, confusing navigation, scattered instructions and most unforgivably, the non-existent customer support. We really did drop the ball on this.

Since then, the software has been rebuilt from scratch and the new version incorporates a wealth of improvements and functionality such as comprehensive and easily accessible instruction, a much-improved user interface, greatly improved preparation and most importantly, real-time support provided from 9AM to 9PM GMT.

We'd like to offer you three months of free access as an apology for your experience, and to show you the transformation. We've reached out through email.

Happy landings,

Teddy
