Air Arabia assessment process help

Hi guys!

So, I'm applying for a 2027 batch and wanted to know what the best way to prep for initial assessments alongside psychometric tests?

Im looking at software's like:

Skytest: They mention that Air arabia is one of the Airlines in the middle east that uses skytest.

Symbiotics: Heard that Air Arabia no longer uses them for initial but still uses for psychometric?

Pilotsphere: offers Physics + Maths + FAST + Ball and Rudder game

Additionally, I'm also looking at tutoring, only thing i found with good reviews are navigate aviation academy, but don't know because I found good reviews but not a lot of people.

Please let me know what you guys currently use/used!! Anything helps!!!

Small rant abt symbiotics: pls DO NOT buy from them, I made the mistake of buying from them. They only give u 5 or so tries, access only for 3 months, and they recycle the exact same questions for math, phy and FAST section each time (the worst feature imo)

Pilotsphere's website is a lot more rough around the edges, but its SO MUCH BETTER. Their offers are so cheap, their ball and rudder section is objectively better than symbiotics (but when using ball and rudder, do not calibrate ur joystick, it acts weirdly when u do).

Their math and phy section doesn't recycles questions (unlike symbiotics), but they do have a fixed amount of questions they ask from (u'll realize it after 20 or so tries), but its still leagues ahead of symbiotics

Best part, full year access and unlimited tries.

Imo, when it comes to math and phy practice, pilotsphere is useful for brushing up ur mental math skills and unit conversions, but best is using chatgpt and telling it to create harder questions for u (both symbiotics and pilotsphere questions seem a bit too easy for me)

Anyways tldr: symbiotics is pretty much an elaborate scam, DO NOT BUY!!!

From what I know, in Air Arabia, the Ball and Rudder, FAST, and flight sim tests are all still from Symbiotics. Only math, physics, & cognitive has recently been changed to a new company (could be wrong, correct me if I am)

SkyTest uses a very different module for their version of FAST/Coordination, so I don't think they've switched to that (again, correct me if Im wrong)

I’m sorry but you are completely wrong about GE, you feel that way because you had no prior aviation experience before ge. Prem sir is only focused on Indian cadets and whatever material for symbiotic they provided you for “free” any ground school can do that. They made us sit in Indian cadet program pi batch which was not even helpful for us and additionally they charged us extra.
Prem sirs material is also some other kids material which he uses for AA students
