How many people who pass the Air Traffic actually go on to school in oklahoma? What score do I really need?

Question

Typical of the FAA, I applied 9 months ago to be a controller, completely forgot about it, and yesterday received an email saying to take the test in 10 days. Awesome. I was wondering if a 70 is really a good enough score to even be considered to continue with the process, or if I really need more like a 99. Does anyone know like percentages of people accepted. I basically am wondering if this is a long shot, or if I have a pretty good chance of making it. And why does this process take so effing long?

Answer 1

Nothing is expedited in the Government, that's why it's such a long process.  I'm suggesting that you'll need about 97-105% to get hired off the street.

If you score close to 100% on that exam, you'll get hired (eventually).

If you want a sure thing, go to one the CTI schools and complete their curriculum.  Beaver (pittsburgh), NTSU (nashville) are a couple of the best ones.

Answer 2

The FAA is notoriously slow in hiring.  Sign up on the site and read.  Just about any question you could ask about hiring has been answered multiple times.
