AT-SAT ?

I studied some math and some basic stuff just to freshen up from years of Trig..lol.

Other than that, for all you new ATSAT takers, I'm working on creating a study guide to help you get ready... along with a working version of the Letter Factory... but that all depends on how much spare time I have

Hi Swim,

I was just wondering if you ever made this. Or if anyone else has found a Letter Factory other than the one on the CD. It's fun, but has a few glitches. It shuts down before I can see how I did, and it seems impossible to not drop letters. But whatever, it is helpful.

I didn't do any studying really, although I did use the test as an excuse to buy a Nintendo DS and play brain age and Flash focus a lot before I took it.

Do you think that helped you at all?

I might get one, but I have a PSP already.

But if I can write it off as a study aid.... ;)
 
Does anybody think that TIME plays into the test scores? I've just noticed that everyone who was done quickly that I've talked to has a higher score. I was the 1st done out of ~15 in the room I was in and got a 100. My scenarios were not nearly perfect though, as I had one crash, and on the long 1500 second one, I was landing airplanes the wrong way half the scenario.
 
One can only guess how the test is scored and what type of weight is given to each section. When I took the test back in the April I was the last to finish around 13:30 (took many breaks, left the hotel for lunch, etc). I would guess that time is only a factor when you run out of it on an individual section, I doubt they care if some one can finish the entire test in 2 hours vs 5

No. They tell you multiple times that you can "go at your own pace".

Well, I took them at their word-- heck I drove 5 hours to take the test, so I wanted to take my time. Took all my breaks, little over an hour lunch, and was one of the last to finish. I ended up with a 95, which was better than I expected after I completely bombed the analogies.
 
I felt really nervous but I came out with a 98.7. I would recommend taking the breaks just to give your brain a break. Time does not reflect in your score so dont worry about it. KNOW THE MATH! It seems to be the most important section and dont sweat messing up on the air traffic scenarios. And forewarning...when you mess up you hear a discouraging explosion sound in your headphones. It is kinda funny though. To study I simply checked the "green book" out of the library. Trust me its not worth spending the money. Also the green book is A LOT harder than the test when it comes to the scenarios and letter factory and scan, but that makes it really good practice. It is still pretty fresh in my mind so feel free to ask me questions.
 
Hey...May 08 ERAU grad here....I took the ATSAT back in March and the best advice you can get is to take your time and not rush....its not a competition to who can finish the fastest...it took me 6 1/2 hours from start to finish and I took all my breaks and lunch...but I didnt take the full amount of break time each time...as far as that study book/cd goes...the best way to use that is by way of a light prep....it helps get you ready for the format of the test and thats it...basically everything from the CD is slightly different then the actual test...good luck...I scored well-qualified and it took me about 2 weeks or so to get my results as a CTI student..they dont post them online... just fyi!

thats a joke right? there is no way your on this Forum, and want to be an Air Traffic Controller, and have no idea what the AT-SAT is...look it up, or just read, and it will be pretty obvious what it is.
