ENAC Mathématiques

IntellectualPSY1

Thirty word problems on percentages, speeds, work rates, shapes and clocks, with a pen and paper but no calculator. You type most answers as a number and pick a few from five. The exam format is 30 problems in 35 minutes.

~35 min

Overview

You get 70 seconds a problem, and some problems take three minutes while others take thirty seconds, so the order you take them in counts as much as your speed. Read the question at the end first, then the paragraph, so you know which numbers matter. If you can't see how to start, go to the next one and come back at the end: a quick problem scores the same as a long one. Write the whole calculation as one line before you work any of it out. The numbers are picked so things cancel, and dividing before you multiply keeps them small. Then check you're giving what was asked, in the unit after the box.

Assessments

Part of the ENAC EPL selection (PSY1) battery as “Mathématiques”.

Thirty problems in 35:00 with free navigation, two sheets of paper and a pen. Most answers are typed rather than picked, and the maths is moderate; what decides the score is that almost nobody finishes, with fifteen to twenty of the thirty answered being a normal day.

Part of the Air France Cadets selection at ENAC (PSY1) battery as “Mathématiques”.

Thirty problems in 35:00, the format ENAC runs, open the Cadets day. Only a handful offer options, so the calculation has to land exactly, and a problem that asks you to round accepts only that rounding. Most of the room answers around twenty and puts accuracy first. Areas and perimeters, a time difference east or west, a heading against a wind at 30° and the share of seats left empty sit beside the rates and percentages; the exercise drills all of them except the wind at 30°.

Battery mappings are based on public information and may change.

One problem, one number

Most problems end in a box. Type the number only, since the unit’s printed after the box, and use a point for decimals. This one asks you to round, and an answer that isn’t rounded counts as wrong.

Problem 1

An aircraft has 372 seats and is 60% full. How many seats are empty? Round to the nearest whole seat.

seats

One problem, five answers

Five in every thirty give you five answers to pick from. Click one. You can change it until you hand in.

Problem 2

Two aircraft are 1425 km apart and fly straight towards each other, one at 390 km/h and the other at 180 km/h. Both take off at 06:45. At what time do they meet?

Game Phases

1

Question First

Read the question at the end before the paragraph, so you know which numbers you need.

2

Skip, Then Come Back

Can't see how to start? Go to the next one. A quick problem scores the same as a long one.

3

One Line, Then Cancel

Write the whole calculation as one expression and cancel before you multiply. The numbers come out clean.

4

Answer What's Asked

The captain's pay, not the purser's. The empty seats, not the full ones. And the unit printed after the box.

ENAC Mental Calculation

Four series of ten boards, back to back, each on its own clock. You type the result of a chain of additions and subtractions, type the value of the last letter in a small system, choose the narrowest of 10 intervals that holds a result, then tick every one of 7 intervals that does. On the ENAC EPL form, every chain in the first series ends on a multiplication and each series gets 4 minutes. On the Air France Cadets form, the first series is sums only and each series gets 6 minutes.
