I waited six days to take the Hogan. Got the invite to the interview less than 8 hours after taking it.

Wait until next week?? I wanted it compete. Its not a major math test. Do you know if the airline tracks how long to complete the test? Just food for thought!
Good luck!
I don't know if that is a good or bad idea...... I've seen some posts on here where guys took the test with their wife and that backfired on them because they answered differently than what they felt was the right answer for them.

Terrible idea! Don't bring your wife in on this, it's about you and only you. the only guys I have heard from that have not passed are those that tried to game the test, those that were tired and worn out and those that had their wife sit in.

Do whatever is right for you. My invite came right before last Christmas, and I was on the downside of one of the worst illnesses I'd ever had. The holiday plus being sick meant that I waited almost the full week before taking it. I took it on a Friday, which was foolish -- don't do that unless you're prepared to wait the weekend to hear!

I heard the good news on the next Tuesday.

I also logged in, logged out a few times. No issues there. Ideal to do it all in one sitting, but just saying it's not impossible. I don't think they care when or how you do it, as long as you follow the directions that UA sends you.

I've heard of people blowing through it in 20 minutes, passing, and also guys who didn't read the questions well and failing. All told, it took me an hour and a half. I wanted to be careful about the always/sometimes/nevers.

One last bit, I'd say out of the 400 questions, 380 to 390 of them will be easy. It's the 10-20 that hurt your brain. Be positive, and good luck!

It would be great if every UA manager (and above) had to take this test tomorrow. And if they failed, were then summarily shown the door. Irrespective of how hard they worked to get to their present position, and no matter how many positive attributes, evaluations and letters of recommendation they possessed. Gone.

Awesome post Mako. I took it yesterday with no regrets. 20 minutes clicked submit.

Unfortunately, your regrets and relative speed have nothing to do with you're being granted an interview.

I wish you all the best. I also wish that pilots hired pilots at UA.

Default any results yet?

I took both yesterday back to back. Tried to pay attention to the always/never stuff. But I agree, its only 20-30ish that really get you thinking.

I went at a steady pace and finished both in about 35 minutes.

Did anyone that took theirs this week get results yet? fingers crossed....

My wife and son will be out of town. So I can take the test after getting a full night's rest, and having no distractions.

What do you guys think? A good idea, or bad?
I think that is ok. Being rested and taking it in a quiet place is a good idea. A few days is not going to make a difference
