There is no universal FEAST results timeline or public passing score that applies to every candidate. The organisation that invited you to FEAST decides how and when results are communicated, how its selection threshold is applied, and what the next stage will be.

This guide explains how FEAST results work, whether there is a public pass mark, what happens after FEAST I and FEAST II, and why practice scores should not be treated as official results. For retest rules, see [Can you retake FEAST?](/feast/can-you-retake-feast/).

For the general test overview, use the [FEAST test hub](/feast/); this page is intentionally limited to results, scores and next steps.

## Quick answer: is there a FEAST passing score?

There is no public, universal FEAST passing score.

EUROCONTROL does not publish a fixed percentage such as “70%” or “80%” that guarantees a pass. FEAST is used by participating air navigation service providers, ATC training academies, universities, and other approved organisations, and each organisation manages its own selection process.

That means your official result is not a number you calculate yourself. It is the decision or communication you receive from the organisation that invited you to take FEAST.

In practical terms:

-   do not look for a universal FEAST pass mark;
-   do not treat practice scores as official results;
-   do not assume every organisation uses the same threshold;
-   follow the result instructions from your recruiting organisation.

## How FEAST results work

FEAST is provided by EUROCONTROL, but it is used by individual organisations as part of their own recruitment and selection process.

This distinction matters. EUROCONTROL provides the test tools, candidate platform, training platform, and supporting infrastructure. The recruiting organisation decides how FEAST fits into its wider selection process.

Depending on the organisation, your result may be communicated as:

-   pass or fail;
-   invitation to the next stage;
-   rejection from the current selection process;
-   eligibility or ineligibility for later phases;
-   a request for further testing, interview, medical examination, or documents.

You may not receive a detailed score breakdown. Even if a score exists internally, that does not mean the organisation will disclose it to candidates.

## Is there a public FEAST pass mark?

No. There is no official public FEAST pass mark that applies to all organisations.

This is one of the most important points for candidates. Because FEAST is used by different organisations, the result threshold and selection decision can depend on the specific recruitment campaign, candidate pool, organisational policy, and next-stage capacity.

A candidate should therefore avoid assumptions such as:

-   “60% is enough to pass FEAST.”
-   “70% is the FEAST passing score.”
-   “If I pass FEAST in one country, I automatically pass everywhere.”
-   “My practice score tells me whether I will pass the real FEAST.”

None of those statements is supported by the official EUROCONTROL candidate information.

## Why FEAST scores are not usually transparent

FEAST is a selection tool, not a classroom exam.

In a classroom exam, the goal is often to measure knowledge against a fixed curriculum. In an employment-selection process, the goal is to help an organisation make recruitment decisions. That can involve psychometric scoring, comparison against job-relevant criteria, and organisation-specific thresholds.

There are also practical reasons why detailed FEAST scoring is not usually treated like a public exam score:

-   FEAST is used by multiple organisations;
-   organisations may apply different recruitment policies;
-   some FEAST components are aptitude-based rather than knowledge-based;
-   exposing detailed scoring could weaken the integrity of the selection process;
-   candidate suitability may depend on more than one test component.

The safest interpretation is simple: your official FEAST outcome is whatever your recruiting organisation communicates to you.

## FEAST results depend on the organisation that invited you

EUROCONTROL’s candidate information makes clear that many organisations use FEAST, but the candidate’s process is still handled through the organisation where they apply.

This means that two candidates in different countries or organisations may have different experiences, even if both take FEAST. One organisation may invite candidates to another test stage, another may proceed to interviews, and another may combine FEAST with medical, security, or training-contract steps.

Do not assume that FEAST works identically for:

-   every ANSP;
-   every country;
-   every recruitment campaign;
-   every academy;
-   every year.

Also remember that not every European country uses FEAST. Some countries use national selection routes instead.

## What happens after FEAST I?

FEAST I generally refers to the first stage of FEAST testing, commonly associated with core aptitude and cognitive assessment. Official FEAST material describes the FEAST package as including cognitive ability tests that can measure areas such as multitasking, planning ability, learning and applying rules, processing speed, attention, and 3D visualisation.

After FEAST I, possible outcomes may include:

-   rejection from the current selection process;
-   invitation to FEAST II or another assessment phase;
-   further organisation-specific testing;
-   interview or assessment centre steps;
-   waiting for the organisation to process results.

The exact next step depends on the organisation that invited you.

## What happens after FEAST II?

FEAST II can involve more advanced or work sample-style assessment, depending on the organisation’s FEAST package and selection design. EUROCONTROL official material describes FEAST tools such as DART and MULTI-PASS as work sample tests, and also references the FEAST Personality Questionnaire.

After FEAST II, a candidate may still face additional selection steps. For example, EUROCONTROL’s own student air traffic controller recruitment page explains that candidates may go through testing and interview stages, then a medical examination, and later contract/training arrangements if everything is satisfactory.

So even if you pass a FEAST stage, that does not mean you are fully selected. FEAST is one part of a wider recruitment process.

## Does passing FEAST guarantee selection?

No. Passing FEAST does not guarantee final selection, training placement, or employment.

Depending on the organisation, candidates may still need to complete:

-   interviews;
-   assessment centre exercises;
-   personality or behavioural assessments;
-   medical examination;
-   security or background checks;
-   document verification;
-   training contract steps;
-   language requirements;
-   organisation-specific eligibility checks.

A better way to think about FEAST is this: passing may allow you to continue in the selection process, but it does not replace the rest of the process.

## Can you retake FEAST?

EUROCONTROL advises candidates to take FEAST only once. It also explains that different retesting policies may apply for different organisations and that candidates should contact the organisation where they want to apply for the relevant retake policy.

This means there is no universal FEAST retake rule that applies to every ANSP, academy, country, or recruitment campaign. If you failed FEAST or previously took the test, do not assume you can automatically retake it, and do not assume you are permanently excluded everywhere.

For a detailed explanation, see our guide: [Can you retake FEAST?](/feast/can-you-retake-feast/).

## Are FEAST results shared between organisations?

FEAST results can be connected across organisations in certain circumstances, but candidates should treat this carefully and rely on official consent and disclosure rules.

EUROCONTROL’s FEAST request results disclosure form states that candidates may have previously been made aware and agreed that, if they apply for air traffic controller training at another organisation, the fact that they have already taken FEAST may be disclosed to other organisations using EUROCONTROL FEAST. The form also provides a consent mechanism for disclosing additional test results.

This means candidates should not assume that a previous FEAST attempt is invisible. It may be relevant if you apply elsewhere, depending on consent, disclosure rules, and the policies of the organisations involved.

If you previously took FEAST and are applying to another FEAST user organisation, ask that organisation how previous results are handled.

## Do FEAST practice scores predict real results?

No. FEAST practice scores should not be treated as official FEAST results or reliable predictors of your real test outcome.

The official EUROCONTROL FEAST training platform says its tests are not identical to the tests used in a real FEAST test session. They are designed to capture the concept and principles of FEAST I so applicants can familiarise themselves with the type of tasks they may face.

The FEAST training FAQ also states that training platform scores are not transmitted to third parties. It further warns that scores obtained at home should not be considered reliable indicators of a candidate’s real ability.

That does not mean practice is useless. Practice can help you understand task types, reduce surprise, and become more comfortable with time pressure. But it cannot tell you your official FEAST score or guarantee a pass.

## How long do FEAST results take?

EUROCONTROL does not publish a universal result timeline that applies to every FEAST user organisation.

The timing depends on the organisation that invited you, its test administration process, the number of candidates, whether results are reviewed before communication, and what the next recruitment stage requires.

If you are waiting for your FEAST result, follow the instructions from your recruiting organisation. If they gave you a timeline, use that as your reference. If they did not, wait for their official communication before assuming the outcome.

## What to do after receiving your FEAST result

If you pass or are invited to the next stage, carefully read the organisation’s instructions. You may need to prepare documents, complete additional tests, attend an interview, take a medical examination, or confirm availability for training.

If you do not pass, read any instructions in your result communication, then see [Can you retake FEAST?](/feast/can-you-retake-feast/) for how retest policies vary and what to ask before applying again.

If your result is unclear, contact the recruiting organisation, not a third-party prep provider. Only the organisation that invited you can explain how it interprets your result.

## Common mistakes candidates make

Candidates often misunderstand FEAST results because they expect the process to work like a school exam. Avoid these mistakes:

-   searching for a fixed public passing percentage;
-   comparing your experience with candidates from another organisation;
-   assuming practice scores predict real FEAST results;
-   assuming FEAST rules are identical in every country;
-   assuming a pass means final selection;
-   assuming one retake rule applies everywhere (see [Can you retake FEAST?](/feast/can-you-retake-feast/));
-   assuming previous FEAST attempts do not matter.

The best approach is to treat FEAST as one selection stage inside an organisation-specific recruitment process.
