yea, im looking at going in as a officer pilot but its all the pre-selection tests that are suppose to be the hardest thing you can do. They use the same selection as the TA, army etc and my bro went in as a TA and said it you should never bull shit on the papers...he said one bloke said he was fluent in german, and when he had his interview, one of the examiners turn around and started speaking to him in german (they brought someone in to test him basically) and it turned out the bloke couldnt speak a word. Also they will ask you really weird questions, that you cant say yes/no to or agree/disagree questions, so you have to think about replies and word them correctly, otherwise your out even before you get to the next exams.
Its very hard to get in mate, but flying at Mach 3 does it for me
