Three levels
Core
Five questions, one mark each. Core ideas such as light, sound, states of matter, energy types and basic forces.
Applied
Ten questions, two marks each. Short calculations on force, acceleration, energy, power, pressure and electricity.
Complex
Five questions, five marks each. Multi-step problems on gas laws, resistance, waves, efficiency and moments.
What the candidate does
-
Read the instructions
The instructions page includes a formula reference to read before starting.
-
Work through the levels
Questions go from Core to Applied to Complex. Some include a diagram that can be enlarged.
-
Submit
The paper is submitted when the candidate finishes, or automatically when the 30 minutes run out.
-
Report
The PDF report breaks the score down by level.
What the report shows
The report gives the Sten with its band, the overall score out of 50, and the marks earned at each level.
These pages are from a sample report for an invented candidate.
Fairness and consistency
- Diagrams are original artwork drawn for AviMetric.
- Calculation questions are generated from templates with fresh numbers for each sitting.
- A refresh or a dropped connection brings back the same paper and answers, and the clock keeps running.
- The clock runs from the server, so a wrong time on the candidate's computer changes nothing.
For schools and airlines
- Assign the module to a cohort, set how many attempts each candidate gets and watch each one's status live.
- Download each candidate's report as a PDF with your name and logo, or export the whole cohort as a CSV.
- Reset the module for a candidate with a recorded reason when a technical fault interrupts them.
Questions
How many questions and marks are there?
Twenty questions worth 50 marks: five Core questions at one mark, ten Applied at two marks and five Complex at five marks.
Does every question have a diagram?
No. Some questions include a diagram and the rest are written. Candidates can enlarge a diagram by tapping it.
Is there a formula sheet?
A formula reference is shown on the instructions page before the test starts.
What topics does it cover?
Forces and motion, energy and power, electricity, pressure and gas laws, waves and light, heat and moments.
Does AviMetric decide who passes?
No. AviMetric reports a Sten score and a band. Your selection team makes every decision.
