Qantas Pilot Test – Full Guide and Free Practice

The final answer looks like this:

Let’s formulate the 4 equations based on the data provided:

1. 2N + S = 65
2. E = W
3. 2(S + W) = 126
4. E + W + S + N = 100 à 2W + S + N = 100 (Due to eq. 2)

The best way to solve these 4 equations is to represent all variables using a single variable.

It would be faster to choose either S or N, because once we find them both, the question is practically solved. Let’s pick S. However – this can be done with any variable you choose.

1. N = (65 – S) / 2
2. W = 63 – S

Plugging into 4 and solving yields:

S = 39.

And, therefore, N = 13.

The remainder of the pie should divide equally between E and W:

(100 – 39 – 13) / 2 = 24

E = W = 24.

The correct ranking is as follows:

Let’s formulate the 4 equations based on the data provided:

1. A = B + 2
2. B = F + 2
3. C = 25
4. D = (A/2) + (B/3)
5. E = (D + F)/2
6. (F/4) + C = E [Did you write (C+F)/4 = E? Check out the Pro Tip below].

After solving this system of equations, we get:

1. Adam – 40
2. Ben – 38
3. Fei – 36
4. Elizabeth – 34
5. Dan – 32
6. Catherine – 25

Step #1 – Course Scores

As a first step, we will calculate the average courses score for each employee. Employees with an average score lower than 7 will automatically be matched with ‘None’.

We can immediately match Brian with ‘None’. No need to calculate his goals.

Step #2 – Goals

Now, we’ll calculate by what percentage each employee has exceeded their goals, and assign the appropriate bonus:

The correct answer is as follows:

That type of question is a very common in the interactive version of the SHL Inductive Reasoning test. It presents you with a brief sequence of numbers and/or letters, and your task is to figure out the pattern this sequence follows, and to complete it.

These patterns may get more complicated as the test progresses.

In this case, the sequence follows this pattern:

• All characters move one place to the left.
• The first character therefore disappears (5F3 – F4W).
• The middle character remains as it is, only changes location (5F3 – F4W).
• The last character increases by one (5F3 – F4W).
• A new random character is added to the right (5F3 – F4W).

The correct answer is:

This question is divided into three sections, each following a separate rule:

• The three squares in the middle continuously interchange between 2 blue and 1 red, and vice versa.
• The red square in the perimeter moves two spots counterclockwise on each step.
• The blue square in the perimeter moves two spots clockwise on each step.

Each of the buttons has a different effect:

• Button 1 – Adds a frame around the shape.
• Button 2 – Rotates shape 90 degrees clockwise.
• Button 3 – Rotates shape 45 degrees counterclockwise.
• Button 4 – Changes shape color to grey.
• Button 5 – Shrinks shape.
• Button 6 – Stretches shape.

The transformed shape is stretched in comparison to the original shape (Button 6) and rotated 45 degrees clockwise (Buttons 2 + 3).

There are actually two possible correct answers:

Or:

From the constraint regarding Rooms 3 and 4, the only available slots for the 1-hour meetings are 11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 – 5 p.m.

11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m.

In this slot, the only unavailable slot is 12 – 12:30 p.m., since both rooms 1 and 2 hold meetings at this time. Therefore, both 11 – 12 and 12:30 – 1:30 are viable options. However, we cannot schedule for both times due to the 1-hour gap constraint.

2:30 – 5 p.m.

In this slot, the only available time in which rooms 1 and 2 are not both taken is 3:30 – 4:30.

The correct answer is the 26^th.

After taking all constraints into account, this is how the four conventions are scheduled:

The correct answer is:

This type of question is very similar to the ranking type on the numerical test – but here you are required to rank the items based on logical rules.

Let’s start filling in the gaps:

At first, all we know is that E is the fourth largest:

__  __  __  E  __  __

Since C is larger than F and smaller than E, that means that F is necessarily the smallest, and C is the fifth largest:

__  __  __  E  C  F

This leaves ranks 1,2, and 3 for A, B, and D.

Since D is larger than A and smaller than B, that necessarily means that B is the largest, D comes second, and A third.

B  D  A  E  C  F

On the SHL Personality Questionnaire (OPQ32), there is little to no meaning for specific answers to specific questions. You will be scored based on your answers as a whole.

Therefore, this question has no single right answer.

However, the test, as a whole, DOES have right and wrong answers.

Remember that the aim of this test is to see whether your personality traits are a good fit for a pilot.

Among other things, pilots are required to demonstrate:

• Accountability
• Decision-making ability
• Calmness under pressure
• Technical skills
• Attention to detail

With relation to the question above, for instance, the first statement shows difficulty in accountability and decision-making. The second statement shows high accountability, and the third shows calmness under pressure.

So, it is pretty clear that you don’t want to choose statement 1. But should you choose statement 2 or 3?

Well, two things:

First, remember that at the end of the day, what matters is your profile as a whole, and the recommended statements to choose for ANY question heavily depend on your other choices throughout the test.

Second, remember that after you choose the first statement, you will be requested to choose another statement that best describes you out of the two remaining ones.

It matters what statement you choose first, second, or not at all, and that must also be taken into account when considering your responses.

If you have not read the solution for the personality questionnaire sample question, it is recommended that you do – it provides important insight for this question as well.

Similar to the personality questionnaire, the SHL Motivational Questionnaire aims to assess whether you are motivated by the things that generally characterize the work of a pilot.

The question above relates to the Autonomy factor (one of 18 motivational factors on the test). By the nature of their job, pilots are expected to have very high levels of autonomy.
