Hello to everyone reading his post. I had no other ideas, but to start a new thread and ask questions. I had a long life dream of becoming an ATC, however things happened in my life that I was never able to pursue it up until now. My friend went through CTI program and passed it. I wasn't able to go with her.
To make a long story short, I applied for PUBNAT and was (finally) selected for AT-SAT. I have read all the posts about the test, the job, the study, the training ... you name it. I ordered the green book to get the idea of this test. After reviewing it I feel like my dream is starting to chip away, bit by bit. All of you made it sound that the test is no biggy, well math seems twisty (even though I never had math problems and always an A student). I can't seem to do it in a time limit.
This PUBNAT is for general public ... but the test does not seem general ... I have never studied FAA regulations in compliance to ATC. How do you, guys, know all of that? Did you just study in advance or you have experience in the field: pilots, engineers, FAA employees, dispatchers...etc?
I sincerely would love to become a controller and I will fight to the end ... but it sure seems sometimes that I am in the wrong boat because going through each problem in the green book takes a century.
Thanks to all who would give some honest suggestions.
