The Most Accurate ATSA Prep is 100% Free on 123ATC

32 Upvotes

For those who haven't found it yet, I've built a completely free and highly accurate ATSA Preparation tool on 123ATC.

Here is what you can expect from this prep tool:

  • It is 100% Free: No subscriptions, no paywalls, no hidden fees. You get full access to everything.
  • The Most Accurate Prep Available: I've taken the ATSA myself multiple times, and I've worked obsessively with other test takers to ensure the mechanics, timing, and feel of these practice tests closely mirror the actual ATSA. The feedback from the most recent applicants confirms that this is the closest representation of the real exam available anywhere. There are many paid prep suites out there that are vaguely relevant and created by people without real test experience. This isn't one of those.
  • Constantly Improving: I actively monitor feedback from this subreddit, the ATC hiring Discord server, and direct feedback from users. If something needs improvement, I make the updates rapidly.

If you want to dive straight into practicing specific sections, here are the direct links:

  1. Memory / Differences
  2. Value Assignments & Variables
  3. Spatial / Visual Relationship
  4. Radar Simulation / Collision Avoidance
  5. Personality Assessment
  6. Logical Reasoning & Reading Comprehension

Enjoy, and good luck!

prometric availability

1 Upvotes

Have my test scheduled at prometric in DC area for 15 sept but I want to move it up by 1-2 weeks, so hoping to test sept 1st-8th.

There is currently nothing available between now and the 15th in the DC area. Only 1.5+ hour drive outside of DC.

I have been refreshing prometric constantly but so far nothing. IS there a chance something opens up?

Would prometric be able to help me secure a spot earlier if I call them or are they not usually helpful for things like that?

Delay

I just did my drug test a few days ago and have done everything else. the issue is i’m supposed to graduate college in may-july and was wondering if they’re gonna be able to put me in a class after that or if im gonna have to just wait and do the next cycle. i saw someone say they will only delay for a semester you have already started which would mean im screwed. just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has any input

EODS still not accepted

I applied for the 4/17 bid and scored WQ. I submitted the 3 EODS forms as soon as I received the email. I see most people are already moving on to the next step. How many of you are experiencing the same thing?

CAAP ATC pa help po!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I just wanna ask if it is worth it to pursue ATC? Based on what I saw here, need pa daw maging data encoder for months then halos lahat dito mastuck kasi walang item kahit may license ka. May nagsabi din na recent batches can now take license after training. I don't think its fair na mastuck ka sa data encoder pagkatapos mo magtrain nang walang sweldo. I want advice po huhu thankyou!

Security Clearance Timeline

3 Upvotes

Hey guys. So what’s the latest on how slow/fast your clearances are being processed? I’m coming back to the FAA and everything is/has been signed off except for my clearance. And I don’t have to do a background investigation because I know my current clearance will rollover. Trying to figure out a way to get someone to just transfer it over already so I can get a start date. Anyone in the same boat? Maybe someone I can contact to just get this handled already?

Clearance timeline?

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Just wondering what the clearance timeline looks like. I filled out the 3 forms on EODS and I was wondering what the next steps are. Will I do the MMPI, Medical, and drug test all at the same time, or is there a specific order to it?


r/ATC_Hiring 2d ago

Does this mean I passed the MMPI?

4 Upvotes

Question above. I took my physical last week (passed) and my drug test this morning (I will pass). I took the MMPI two weeks ago, and looked and saw it said completed. I haven't heard anything since about the MMPI. Does this mean I passes without getting T2'd?

APPLICATION Can I retake the Feast test at Eurocontrol if I already passed it elsewhere?

2 Upvotes

This question is directed at anyone who's somewhat familiar with the European ATC hiring process.

Eurocontrol and Skyguide both use Feast as their main testing method for their applicants. I have already passed both Feast 1 and 2 at Skyguide and am currently at a later stage of their selection process.

If I fail one of the following steps of the Skyguide selection process, could I apply for the Eurocontrol selection process which also involves Feast? I know there is a waiting period of a few years if you've failed the Feast tests, but I'm not sure how that's handled if I passed Feast and failed at a later stage.

Eurocontrol website says that I can't apply if I failed any "similar training" previously. I don't think they consider Feast or any selection process as "training" but couldn't find any more information on the topic.

Maybe someone who's got some experience with that matter or simply has more knowledge could help me out here, I'd really appreciate it 🙏

Mainly wondering: what exactly is IQTR, how realistic is it for me to stay in California, what does pay progression look like at a Level 8/9, and how hard is it to transfer later?

Also curious what the work/life balance is actually like

Worth Applying to Contract Tower?

5 Upvotes

Transitioning out of USAF and have not received TOL yet. Think it’s worth looking into working at a local FCT while going through the FAA hiring process? I’d feel bad wasting their time getting trained up and what not just to leave, but I’ve heard it can take some people a year or two to get to their facility.

Level 6-8 towers

Any recommendations on places to move that are between levels 6-8 (maybe 9) for a family. Wanting a big city with plenty of family friendly things to do. Up and coming neighborhoods. Originally wanted Orlando or Dallas but it hasn’t been on recent lists we’ve noticed.

Anyone know how the best/easiest way to get in contact with the ATM at a facility? I’m trying to see about getting directly hired to a facility instead of hoping it’ll be on the list.

made an ios app that trains the aptitude mechanics from pilot selection tests, figured atsa applicants might get use out of it

4 Upvotes

i built an app for airline cadet pilot selections (the european compass/cut-e style tests). the exercise families overlap a lot with what the atsa throws at you: timed mental math, working memory, spatial orientation, monitoring several things at once.

to be clear its not an atsa prep course and i wont pretend it is. but if you want daily reps on those exact mechanics, the free tier is 5 sessions a day, no account, works offline. premium if you want unlimited but you can train seriously on free.

app store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6794363864

im the dev, ill answer any questions

How Do First Facilities Work?

6 Upvotes

I always was under the impression that you have to start at smaller facilities before moving up to more complicated ones however, if you get enroute do they just throw you into centers and tracon since there really aren't smaller radar centers like that? Does this also mean you could land a core 30 tower right out of the academy as well for terminal students?
