Looking for a FEAST practice test? Start with the free official EUROCONTROL FEAST training platform. Below you can try 16 original, free sample questions about memory, attention, spatial reasoning, task rules and English. Each one has an answer you can reveal after attempting the task.
Important: These are independent, fictional exercises. None is a question taken from a real FEAST assessment, a clone of EUROCONTROL software or a predictor of your result. EUROCONTROL’s candidate guide says its actual FEAST tests use specific instructions and sample items administered by the recruiting organisation.
What official FEAST practice actually includes
| Resource | What you can practise | Important limitation |
|---|---|---|
| EUROCONTROL’s free training platform | Almost all FEAST I cognitive/English test types | No FEAST II RADAR or MULTI-PASS tests |
| These 16 original questions | General cognitive and rule-reading habits | Not official test items or validated simulations |
| Independent commercial training | Vendor-designed exercises and optional study plans | Not authorised by EUROCONTROL; different tasks and interfaces may appear |
EUROCONTROL’s training FAQ says the official platform is free, but requires an account. Even its practice tests may have different instructions or visuals from the real exam. EUROCONTROL recommends practising individual tasks, reviewing mistakes and repeating them once or twice; it suggests about eight hours maximum of familiarisation on its platform.
The current FEAST II names are RADAR, and possibly MULTI-PASS. The official free platform does not provide FEAST II exercises. See FEAST test format, FEAST Part 2 and FEAST MULTI-PASS for the differences.
How to use the exercises
Read each rule, decide on your answer before opening “Reveal answer”, then compare your reasoning. Each disclosure opens using a standard browser control; you can activate it with a mouse, Enter or Space. No account, payment or score tracking is needed.
These examples are not calibrated for timing or difficulty. Do not interpret a perfect score as proof that you will pass FEAST. Where a task mentions symbols, colours or imaginary aircraft, the rules are invented for this page.
Memory and attention - questions 1 to 4
1. Short-term memory
Read this sequence once: 7 - 2 - 9 - 4 - 1. Without looking back, what was the third number?
Reveal answer 1
Answer: 9. Counting from the start, the third item is 9. This is a simple order-recall drill, not an official memory task.
2. Updating working memory
Start with A = 4, B = 7, C = 2. Add 3 to A, subtract 1 from B, and double C. What are the final values?
Reveal answer 2
Answer: A = 7, B = 6, C = 4. Apply each instruction once to the starting value, not to a different variable.
3. Visual scanning
Count the uppercase X symbols in this line. Similar-looking letters are distractors.
X K X Y K X X K Y X K X
Reveal answer 3
Answer: 6. The X symbols occur at positions 1, 3, 6, 7, 10 and 12. The characters are plain text so they remain legible on mobile and in assistive technologies.
4. Selective attention
Count only the letter A that appears immediately after a number in the following groups:
4A BA 7A 2B CA 9A AA 1A
Reveal answer 4
Answer: 4. Only 4A, 7A, 9A and 1A satisfy the rule. BA, CA and AA contain A but do not follow a number.
Spatial reasoning - questions 5 to 7
5. Direction changes
A marker faces north. Turn it 90 degrees right, then 180 degrees left. Which direction does it face?
Reveal answer 5
Answer: west. North to east after the right turn; east to west after turning 180 degrees. This is imaginary marker rotation, not aviation procedure guidance.
6. Rotate a simple shape
Imagine this 2-by-2 square of characters being rotated 90 degrees clockwise:
X .
X X
Which of these is correct after the rotation?
A
X X
X .
B
. X
X X
Reveal answer 6
Answer: A. The original bottom row becomes the left column after clockwise rotation. You can test it by turning a paper drawing. B is a different orientation.
7. Opposite cube faces
Imagine a cube whose opposite face pairs are A/D, B/E and C/F. Can faces A and D share an edge?
Reveal answer 7
Answer: no. Opposite faces cannot touch along an edge. This is a geometric fact, not a reproduction of a proprietary cube-folding item.
For further independent context, see FEAST cube folding.
Rules, divided attention and monitoring - questions 8 to 12
8. Rule priority
Apply these fictional response rules: even number = A, odd number = B, but 5 = C overrides the odd-number rule. What do you enter for 2, 9, 5, 8?
Reveal answer 8
Answer: A, B, C, A. Two and eight are even. Nine is odd. Five follows the explicit exception, so it receives C.
9. Two tasks at once
Track this sequence:
X 3 8 Y X 2 9 X 6
Count every X. Independently, count each number greater than 6. Give both totals.
Reveal answer 9
Answer: 3 X symbols, 2 numbers greater than 6. The qualifying numbers are 8 and 9. Six does not qualify because the instruction says greater than, not greater than or equal to.
10. Prioritisation under a stated rule
For this invented queue, always handle high priority before medium, and medium before low, regardless of deadline. The alerts are: A low priority, due in 20 seconds; B high priority, due in 8 seconds; C medium priority, due in 5 seconds. Which goes first?
Reveal answer 10
Answer: B. The invented rule ranks priority before deadline, so the high-priority item comes first even though C has the shorter deadline. Real air traffic rules are not represented here.
11. Predicting a meeting point
Two fictional counters move on a straight number line. A starts at x = 2 and adds 2 each update. B starts at x = 10 and subtracts 2 each update. After how many updates do they reach the same position, and what is that position?
Reveal answer 11
Answer: after 2 updates, both at x = 6. A moves 2, 4, 6 while B moves 10, 8, 6 (including their starting positions). This is arithmetic tracking, not an aircraft separation exercise.
12. Reaction accuracy
The instruction is to respond only to even numbers. Which items from 3, 8, 5, 2, 7, 4 require a response?
Reveal answer 12
Answer: 8, 2 and 4. Ignore 3, 5 and 7. Practice accurate rule selection first; do not invent an official FEAST time limit for this page.

English and reasoning - questions 13 to 16
13. Reading sequence words
Read: “The aircraft must descend before crossing the waypoint.” Which action occurs first according to this sentence?
A. Cross the waypoint; B. Descend; C. Turn left; D. Stop.
Reveal answer 13
Answer: B, descend. The word before puts the descent first. This is a language-reading question, not operational advice for pilots or controllers.
14. Precision of instructions
Choose the largest odd number from 12, 9, 14, 7.
Reveal answer 14
Answer: 9. Twelve and fourteen are larger but even; nine is larger than seven and is odd.
15. Numerical pattern
What number comes next in 2, 4, 8, 16, ?
Reveal answer 15
Answer: 32. Each value doubles. Other pattern exercises may require more complex rules; this is a simple illustration.
16. Changing the instruction between rounds
For 2, 9, 5, 8, the first rule says “respond to numbers greater than 5”. List the responses. Then switch rules: “respond to even numbers only”. List the new responses.
Reveal answer 16
Answer: first round 9 and 8; second round 2 and 8. The value 5 is excluded from the first round because it is not greater than 5. The second round uses the changed rule, not the earlier one.
See FEAST English test for language-specific preparation.
What to do with your answers
Instead of repeating the same 16 prompts, explain why you got each answer. Then create a variation: reorder the symbols, change a threshold, reverse a direction, or add a secondary counting task. Review your instruction-reading errors before adding speed.
These questions are not scored against any FEAST standard. If you correctly answer all 16, you have solved these exercises only; you have not demonstrated an official FEAST pass level. If a task feels unfamiliar, re-read the rule before deciding you need a paid product.
