A few days ago, I applied for the position of Assistant Air Traffic Controller Officer (AATCO), for CAA in Pakistan. The next step is a written test.

What am I supposed to prepare specifically?

My background is in software engineering. Any help/reference will be appreciated.

    $\begingroup$ I assume the CAA themselves should tell you. Their ATC requirements are here and my best guess is that the written test will be for English proficiency (see section 6.3). But I know literally nothing apart from Google can find and I have no idea about specific questions. $\endgroup$
