Practice in the style of the cut-e (Aon) online tests that airlines send as a link. An example for each module, five questions to try on this page and the full practice plan behind it.
7 interactive tests in the style of cut-e (Aon) and 6 multiple-choice modules
| Day | Fuel used (litres) |
|---|---|
| Monday | 420 |
| Tuesday | 380 |
| Wednesday | 455 |
Statement: Wednesday's fuel use is more than 15% above Tuesday's.
True: Wednesday is 19.7% above Tuesday.
TipEstimate first. 10% of 380 is 38, so 15% is 57. A difference of 75 is clearly more.
Statement: Phase 2 cadets book more simulator slots than phase 1 cadets.
Cannot say.
TipAnswer only from the text. Do not fill gaps with what seems likely.
Which figure comes next in the series?
The arrow pointing down and to the right.
TipCheck one change at a time: rotation, then size, then number of elements.
What is the next number? 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, …
42.
TipWrite the differences underneath. If they form a pattern, you have the rule.
An aircraft burns 2,400 kg of fuel per hour. How much does it burn in 35 minutes?
1,400 kg.
TipConvert to a rate per minute first when the time is not a simple fraction of an hour.
A car accelerates evenly from 0 to 20 m/s in 8 seconds. What is its acceleration?
2.5 m/s².
TipCheck the units: m/s divided by s gives m/s².
You are flying a heading of 270°. You turn right through 135°. What is your new heading?
045°.
TipPicture the compass rose: turning right from west takes you through north to the north-east.
Apply the same rule to P Q R S. What do you get?
R P S Q.
TipTrack positions, not symbols. Write the rule as 3 1 4 2 and apply it to any row.
Step 2 question: which of these letters is symmetrical about a vertical line?
A.
TipName the dot's position before the question appears, for example 'row 2, column 3', and repeat it once while you answer.
White shapes appear and disappear in a circle and you keep count of how many are visible right now. It runs in real time, so there is no single example question; try a block in the plan.
Colours, arrows and tones come mixed together and you react to each one. It runs on a computer.
You steer a ball through a moving tube without touching the walls or the blocks. It runs on a computer.
You hear an air traffic control message and remember the altitude, heading and speed while you work on a visual task. Use headphones or speakers.
A cadet scores 42 out of 60. What percentage is that?
No account needed for this round
Start the cut-e Practice PlanAon describes how its online tests are timed and scored. Our practice plan shows the same things you need to manage: accuracy, time per item and progress per module.
Your share of correct answers per module, after every set.
How long you take per question, so you can work towards a steady pace.
Your trend across attempts, so you see which module needs work.

Seven interactive tests in the style of cut-e (Aon): spatial orientation, grid challenge, monitoring, switch challenge, multitasking, hand-eye coordination and listening and remembering. On top of that, six multiple-choice modules: numerical, verbal and abstract reasoning, number series, mathematics and physics.
Aon says that in most cases a single test lasts less than fifteen minutes. It lists 12 minutes for numerical reasoning (37 tasks) and verbal reasoning (49 tasks), 9 minutes for the grid challenge and 6 minutes for the switch challenge.
For performance tests Aon usually adds points for each correct answer and deducts points for each incorrect one. Aon also says it is normal not to answer every question in the time, so work quickly but carefully.
Yes, for most modules. Our reasoning, spatial, memory and listening tasks run on any device. Multitasking and hand-eye coordination need a computer. Aon says almost all its tests run on smartphones and tablets, but recommends a PC or laptop for the real assessment.
No. You can try 8 questions per multiple-choice module without an account, up to 3 sets a day on one device, and you see your score at the end. With an account you also get the answers with explanations. The Pilot Pass adds every question and the interactive tests.
Airlines that name the Aon test in their own selection information include Delta Air Lines, Ryanair (its AFA B737 cadet programme), Buzz and Lauda Europe. Each airline guide lists the tests the airline confirms.
