Arrows appear one at a time, each replacing the last. Hold the earlier heading in mind and answer how you would have to turn to face the new one: Straight, Right, U-turn or Left. The earlier arrow is never on screen while you answer. The test lasts two minutes.
CadetPro is an independent preparation platform and is not affiliated with Aon, cut-e or any airline or flight school.
Always compare with the previous arrow. The first arrow of a chain is shown alone, only to be remembered. Every arrow after that gives you four and a half seconds; the next appears the moment you answer. The same heading twice in a row means Straight. Practice shows both arrows and the correct turn after a miss.
A Sense of Direction round in progress.
Aon-style batteries rarely stop at a single task: candidates commonly report several short tests in one sitting. Preparing for one module leaves the rest untouched — the bundle opens every one of them, on one account.

See the full set 30-day access shown · 90 and 365-day plans on the bundle pageThe answer always depends on an arrow you can no longer see. The steps below cover how the chain works.
Arrows point up, right, down or left. The first arrow of a chain is shown alone, only to be remembered. From then on, each new arrow asks how you would turn from the previous heading to this one, and you answer on a four-part wheel.
Sense of direction tests whether you can hold an orientation in mind and reason about turns relative to it — without the reference in front of you.
Every answer is a turn from the previous heading. Answering by where the arrow points on screen is the most common error, and it is right only when the previous heading was up.
You answer from memory every time.
The next arrow appears when you answer.
An unanswered arrow counts as wrong.
Every TEST run you finish is analysed automatically. The useful part is not the single score — it is seeing whether speed or accuracy is what holds you back, and whether the next run is actually better than the last.
Every TEST run is broken down into what you got right and how fast you worked — answers per minute and time per answer — so you can see whether speed or accuracy is the thing holding the score back.
Your runs are kept, so the report shows whether you are actually improving and compares your latest run with the earlier ones. On the multitasking modules and Grid Challenge it also breaks the result down task by task.
The PRO report places your result among other CadetPro candidates on the same module, which is a more honest yardstick than a raw score on its own.
How steady you are from run to run, where your errors cluster, and short study notes written for that pattern — the part of the report that tells you what to practise next.

Aon-style aptitude tests guide →Arrows appear one at a time. For each new arrow you answer how you would turn from the previous heading to face it: Straight, Right, U-turn or Left. The previous arrow is never on screen. The test lasts two minutes.
The new arrow points the same way as the previous one.
Four and a half seconds. If you run out of time the answer counts as wrong.
From the number of correct answers against a fixed target, with a deduction for errors. Faster answers bring more arrows.
Yes. PRACTICE mode needs no purchase: open the module from a free CadetPro account. It has no clock and no score, and it explains your mistakes. The timed TEST mode and the full performance report are part of PRO.
The TEST mode, which recreates exam conditions with the real clock and the scoring described above, and a performance report for every TEST run — accuracy, pace and your score trend across runs, with deeper analysis on top.
Aon-style aptitude batteries (the cut-e family of short online tests) are commonly reported by candidates in pilot selection at flight schools and airlines — FTE Jerez, OSM Aviation Academy, Jet2, flynas and Wizz Air are among the names that come up in candidate reports. Which tests are used, and how, differs by employer and intake and changes over time, so always go by the invitation you receive.
No. CadetPro is an independent preparation platform and is not affiliated with Aon, cut-e or any airline or flight school. Our modules are original builds modelled on publicly described task types; they are not copies of any official test, and practising here does not guarantee any result in a selection process.
