Buy Preparation SoftwareFounded in 2002 by Andreas Lohff and Dr Achim Preuss, the organisation developed the Cut-e Assessment, undertaken by more than twelve million candidates every year for roles within a variety of industries, and employed heavily with the aviation industry by both airlines and flying schools.
In early 2017, the organisation was purchased by Aon, hence the varied usage of either Aon, Cut-e or 'Aon Cut-e' when describing this particular assessment.
The assessment is often administered through Aon's MAPTQ portal, is completed at home and offers client customisation of those modules to be undertaken by their candidates.
The Aon Pilot Assessment can include the following modules:
The Scales lt test module incorporated into the Aon pilot assessment incorporates three different types of questioning - a requirement to complete sentences, to match words with their definitions and to correct spelling errors.
This test module asks the candidate to select an answer from a selection of available options, with the selection of incorrect answers subtracting points from the candidate's score.
