PPT · Cube nets
25 presentations
Fold the net mentally. Choose the one cube whose three visible faces can meet in the displayed order. Each pattern identifies a face; a mirror image is not a valid rotation.

Understand the task. Build your responses.
Useful practice starts with a clear rule and an explained mistake. Train memory, concentration and spatial reasoning in a focused interface before moving to timed blocks.

Two modes, two purposes
Understand first. Then build speed.
01
Learn at your own pace
Practice mode gives you time to answer and review. The correction remains until you choose Next: compare your response, the answer and the stimulus. Memory sequences still have limited presentation times so recall remains meaningful.
02
Work under constraints
Timed mode uses format-specific blocks, such as 25 cube nets in 10 minutes or 20 tube views with 20 seconds per question. These settings follow public practice descriptions, not a certified specification of your examination.
Your preparation, module by module
A test name is only the beginning. Understand what the task asks you to do, then check your invitation to confirm the modules relevant to your selection.
SFT · 3D viewpoints
20 presentations
The left cube is the reference. From which side must you view it to obtain the right-hand view? Both drawings show the same tube.
Explore the exercises →VFF · Hidden figures
24 presentations
Find the hidden shape without turning, reflecting or resizing it. The candidate and the shape in the network have the same size. Exactly one answer is complete.
Explore the exercises →VLR · Paths and turns
30 presentations
Remember the requested direction: left or right. The path appears one turn at a time. Count only the requested turns in the direction of travel indicated by the start point and arrow. Choose the total at the end. The path speeds up progressively with each new trial.
Explore the exercises →VMC · N-back memory
300 presentations
Compare each symbol with the one N positions earlier, including shape and colour. Six blocks of 50 presentations; N is announced before each block. Initial symbols build your memory.
Explore the exercises →MEK · Visual associations
16 presentations
Learn 16 associations progressively. New pairs appear while you recall numbers from older pairs. Learning displays disappear after a limited time, even in practice; only your answer can wait. This version uses practice timings, not official time allowances.
Explore the exercises →OWT · Dial reading
20 presentations
Remember only dials in the indicated category: round, square, light or dark. Read left to right, top to bottom. After they disappear, enter the values in that order. The scale runs from 1 to 8 with missing labels.
Explore the exercises →SKT · Concentration
400 presentations
Before each block, memorise the traits assigned to ↑ and ↓. Compare with the previous triangle. For the first triangle or no match, press →. Each block has 40 triangles with 0–4 dots. Rules change between blocks.
Explore the exercises →DRT · Position and rules
300 presentations
Memorise the colour–movement rules before each block. Answer with 7, 9, 1 or 3: same position, horizontally opposite, vertically opposite or diagonally opposite. The mapping changes every 30 squares.
Explore the exercises →RMS · Auditory memory
25 presentations
Listen to a sequence of unknown length. Recall as many digits as possible in reverse order, starting from the last. Consecutive correct digits count up to the first error. The required length is not shown.
Explore the exercises →ROT · Cube rotation
20 presentations
Audio commands: ↑ tips backward, ↓ forward; ← and → tip over the side edges. No rotation around the vertical axis.
Explore the exercises →MIC · Instrument control
5 min
Hold heading, altitude and speed at their blue targets. Use ← → to turn, ↑ ↓ to climb or descend, and power to adjust speed. Climbing slows the aircraft; descending accelerates it. Targets change every 20 seconds. Also report three consecutive even or odd numbers. Other sequences need no response. Keyboard and touch controls are available.
Explore the exercises →A practical three-week approach
01
Week 1 · Understand
Start with the documents supplied with your invitation. Try each relevant format in practice mode. Classify mistakes as misunderstood rules, incorrect spatial transformations or memory lapses. Understand the correction before collecting more attempts.
02
Week 2 · Stabilise
Alternate memory, spatial and concentration tasks. Revisit two difficulties from your previous session. Aim for dependable responses before increasing speed. For memory tasks, use a consistent reading and recall order.
03
Week 3 · Rehearse
Use timed blocks alongside official preparation materials. Check your audio and keyboard in a quiet setting. Review mistakes after the block. Avoid turning the final evening into a marathon of repetitive practice.
DLR Certificate Cockpit: useful facts
DLR states that preparation documents and access details come with the invitation. The announced Hamburg day runs approximately from 08:00 to 17:00. The certificate gives an assessment rather than a selection decision. Check the requirements of your chosen school or airline.
DLR · Certificate Cockpit ↗Mistakes worth avoiding
Learning an answer instead of a rule
Items change. Check whether you can explain why an answer is correct on a new example.
Mixing up reference frames
Tipping a cube, counting turns and identifying a tube viewpoint involve different transformations. Establish the viewpoint first.
Confusing speed with rushing
An omission, a wrong answer and a forgotten rule need different remedies. Identify what actually costs you responses.
Treating a practice score as an admission decision
Persona Prep results describe your exercises. They do not reproduce official DLR scoring or predict a school’s decision.

Questions about DLR preparation
How should I prepare for the DLR test?
Begin with your invitation materials. Identify the tasks and learn their instructions, then alternate reviewed practice with timed blocks. Use official materials to confirm language, equipment and session constraints.
What is the difference between practice and timed mode?
Practice lets you answer and read corrections without a deadline, then select Next. Memory stimuli remain temporary. Timed mode applies format limits and shows corrections after the block.
Is this the official DLR test?
No. Our tasks, graphics and practice settings are independent. Public task descriptions inform the exercises; your invitation takes precedence. No practice score guarantees admission.
Are DLR exercises free?
They require Pro access. You can read this guide and explore general free samples before choosing a plan. Those samples are not a complete DLR session.
What should I recall in RMS?
Recall the heard digits in reverse order, starting from the last. In our corrected exercise the length is not announced, and consecutive correct digits count up to the first error.
Why is there no official score?
Populations, items and conditions differ. This revised version explains your responses without mixing older scores or inventing a DLR norm.
Can I practise on a phone?
Touch controls are available. Also practise audio, spatial and numeric-keypad tasks on a computer: screen size and controls change the experience.
Does the subscription include taking the DLR assessment?
No. The subscription is for Persona Prep. Registration and fees for the certificate are handled separately with the organiser.
What this preparation covers
Persona Prep offers original, independent tasks rather than official DLR questions. Physics, aviation English and an entire selection process are not covered by these 12 modules. Instrument control uses keyboard or touch; no equivalence to a test-centre joystick is claimed. Revised blocks are not compared with scores from older versions.
