A mixed, calculator-free numerical block: speed, distance and time, ratios and proportion, and the one most candidates find hardest, reading a performance table or a straight-line graph and interpolating the value between the rows. The trick is to keep moving and answer every item.

This exercise measures calculator-free applied numeracy: reading a performance table or a straight-line graph and interpolating the value between the rows, alongside speed-distance-time legs and ratio work. It is the mixed cockpit-maths style candidates rate as the hardest part of selection, because interpolation adds a step on top of the arithmetic and must be done fast, in your head.
Work out how far the query sits between the two rows as a simple fraction, then take that fraction of the difference between their values and add it to the lower one. Halfway means half the change; a quarter of the way means a quarter of the change. Choosing the nearer row instead is the single most common mistake.
These blocks reward completion. There is no penalty for a wrong answer, so a fast estimate beats a blank. If an item is slow, put your best guess down and move on, then come back only if time allows.
Aptitude tests get you through selection. The EASA ATPL theory exams come next, and SkyStudy is built for that phase.
