I agree it's worth a bit more practice than they offer. I had a hard time with the bouncing balls in the circle, couldn't seem to find a balance between speed & accuracy - lots more balls than the practice! Flying thru tunnels was OK but towards the end it got so fast I couldn't divide attention to slow it down. Worth playing with the speed control during practice just to get used to it. Oh, and still waiting but I'm giving a late August availability...

Thanks, Fellas,
I just finished the PST testing on the Online application. Went ok I think.
My Mouse on the Tunnel test went frozen and I hit the wall a few times 😩. Lets see what comes back. I had finished all the others at this point!
Do they do any Additional computer-based testing on interview day?

Oh edit to add, I still got hired. And there is no testing on interview day.

At my interview when they were handing out our CJOs the management pilot discussed the pilot skills test. They use the data from the PST to predict who will need more sim time. I believe they use the data to predict how much sim time you need versus using it as a discriminator and gateway to the interview as Delta does. If you tank the Delta PST you'll be given 3 month penalty vectors. I don't think AA does this.

or if you’re too good at the game they’ll worry that you’ll actually understand the contract and be overly efficient at tracking your pay discrepancies….

Yeah, I suspect that’s the goal of the entire thing, to make sure you have grit and don’t just give up.
