Aptitude battery: Not named by this JATC
This JATC's own page does not name which aptitude test it uses. Every JATC we have checked that does name its test uses either the eTA battery or the GAN battery, so confirm which one with the training center before you prepare.
Your band vs this local's line: Local 130's page does not name its test, so we cannot map our practice band to its rule until you confirm which test you will sit.
