Air Traffic Control Career Prep- that's the book I read and studied. The computer program that came with it is great, but a little different than the actual ATSAT.
Scenarios- Is much slower and easier. The radar screen changes every 7 seconds! Send the landing planes in at "Fast" until the last possible screen change. Your score will be better. Keep planes away from border too.
Analogies- Objects are far more greatly detailed making it harder and more time consuming.
Letter Factory- Actual screen is on page 69 of the book. All the letters will be able to fit in the boxes. Sample question- "If all the letters on the conveyer went in to their box, what boxes would remain unfilled?" No questions about QC or number of times ordered boxes.
Scan- Slower and easier. Practice ten key.
Dials- Actual screen is on page 89 of the book.
This info is considering your program is the same as mine and I don't know why it wouldn't be. My Analogies would quickly skip to the next question often. Radar was fast as hell making(a lot of) seperation errors inevidible. Scan was also fast making it impossible to ID all numbers in the range.
Take the breaks they give you, even if its for a short amount of time. Do some strech's, jumping jacks, deep breaths. I took most the break time and finished in about six hours.
