Technical Test Questions	RST preps you for this process! Know the concepts
What was the hardest technical question or content you experienced during the job knowledge test?	Nav was the toughest section because I didn’t spend as much time studying that, but, most of the test was Aerodynamics.
HR Questions	They tell you to ditch Emerald Coast and be yourself. Very chill and very conversational and informal. Just a back and forth and there were no “gotcha” questions.
Cog Test	Way easier than the Jet Brain Games however they prep you well.
How long prior to the interview did you prepare for the HR portion of the interview?	2 weeks out I started SBI and HR prep, until then focus on RST
How did you prep?
Which HR Prep service did you use and did it help?	RST is the way to go! One on one HR prep is well worth it!
Any additional information you would like to add.	You have to study hard and present yourself well on day one. They are watching you close on day 1. A couple guys messed up paperwork and argued with the lady collecting, surprise, surprise they did not get invited back for day 2.
Is there anything you wish you could have done different to prepare you for this process?	Nothing
