The IP-BQ is not the kind of test you can wing.
You get one shot at your airline's screening. Maybe two, if you wait a year. The stakes are enormous — your training slot, your career timeline, everything rides on a few hours of testing.
And yet most preparation tools give you a generic question bank and leave you to figure out the rest. No structure. No progress tracking. No way to know if you are actually ready for the Interpersonal BQ and CQ or just going through the motions.
Climbout is built specifically for the IP-BQ and CQ.
The most accurate practice available.
Our questions and test engines are modelled directly on what you will face in the real IP-BQ and CQ. No generic question banks — every item is tailored to the Interpersonal screening format.
Always up to date.
Assessment formats evolve. Climbout stays current — questions, timings, and test structures are continuously updated to reflect the latest version of the IP-BQ and CQ as used by airlines today.
Clear progress, not just scores.
Track your performance across attempts. See your trend over time. Know exactly which areas are strong and where you need more work. The question "Am I ready?" should have a real answer.
Structure, not just access.
Practice mode with explanations to build understanding. Test mode under real conditions to build confidence. A clear path from your first session to assessment readiness.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Every IP-BQ category. The real format.
Climbout covers the full scope of the Interpersonal BQ and CQ: memory, orientation, psychomotorics, reasoning, maths, physics, technical comprehension, English, and aviation knowledge. Questions and test engines are built to match the actual assessment — not approximated from outdated material.
See exactly where you stand.
After every attempt, get a detailed score breakdown by question type and difficulty. Your results page shows not just what you scored, but where your gaps are. Over multiple attempts, your progress chart reveals trends — so you can focus your time where it matters most.
Learn from every mistake.
In practice mode, every question comes with immediate feedback and a clear explanation. Understand why the correct answer is correct — not just that you got it wrong. Build real comprehension, not just pattern recognition.
Practice under real conditions.
Test mode strips away the explanations and feedback. Timed. Forward-only. Just like the real assessment. When you score well in test mode, you know you are ready — not just familiar with the material, but ready to perform under pressure.
Prepare on your terms.
Fit preparation into your routine. Run through a quick practice session between study blocks or sit down for a full timed test when you are ready to push. Your progress is tracked across every session so you always pick up where you left off.
Real test formats. Faithfully replicated.
Every test engine is built to match the actual IP-BQ and CQ assessment — from multi-task dashboards to timed number grids.
Timed, forward-only questions under real exam conditions. No feedback until the end.
Manage tracking, signals, fuel levels, and callsigns simultaneously under time pressure.
Instant feedback after every answer with detailed explanations to build understanding.
Memorize color-coded aircraft designators, then recall the correct color for each code.
Scan large number grids under time pressure. Reaction speed measured per round.
Determine which flat net folds into the given 3D cube under timed conditions.
Identify the correct result of applying a spatial transformation to a 3D object.
Levers, gears, pulleys, circuits, and applied physics diagrams.
Aviation-contextualised arithmetic including fuel, speed, and distance calculations.
Solve geometric problems with diagrams under timed conditions.
Pattern recognition, geometric analogies, and logical sequences.
Grammar, vocabulary, and reading comprehension in an aviation context.
Tracking accuracy and power control — fine motor coordination under real-time pressure.
Sequential mental calculations displayed one operation at a time. Speed and accuracy matter.
Detect changes in shape arrangements across two slides. Measures observation speed.
Timed, forward-only questions under real exam conditions. No feedback until the end.
Manage tracking, signals, fuel levels, and callsigns simultaneously under time pressure.
Built for the Interpersonal BQ & CQ — and nothing else.
Climbout is purpose-built for the two stages of the Interpersonal pilot aptitude screening. Every test, every question, every timed drill maps directly to what you will face on assessment day.
IP-BQ — Basic Qualification
The first stage of the Interpersonal screening. Covers memory, orientation, psychomotorics, reasoning, maths, physics, technical comprehension, English, and aviation knowledge under timed conditions. Climbout replicates every section.
IP-CQ — Company Qualification
The airline-specific follow-up stage. Builds on the BQ with additional company-tailored assessments. Climbout prepares you for both stages so you arrive confident at every step.
Test categories: Memory, Orientation, Psychomotorics, Reasoning, Maths, Physics, Technical Comprehension, English, and Aviation Knowledge — each configured to match the IP-BQ and CQ test profile.
Free trial, no commitment.

"I used Climbout for two months before my IP-BQ screening. The practice-to-test-mode progression gave me a clear structure, and by the end I knew exactly where I stood. I walked into the assessment feeling prepared, not anxious."

The Interpersonal BQ (Basic Qualification) is the first stage of the pilot aptitude screening used by airlines across the Interpersonal network. The CQ (Company Qualification) is the airline-specific follow-up stage. Climbout covers both. Test categories include memory, orientation, psychomotorics, reasoning, maths, physics, technical comprehension, English, and aviation knowledge.
Most pilot test-prep tools give you a generic question bank that covers multiple assessment systems loosely. Climbout is built exclusively for the IP-BQ and CQ — with the most accurate and up-to-date questions and test formats available. Every test engine, every question type, and every timed drill maps directly to what you will face in the real screening. We continuously update our content to reflect the latest version of the assessment as used by airlines today.
Climbout is designed for desktop use. Some question-based tests may work on smaller screens, but the full experience — especially psychomotorics and other interactive tasks — is best on a desktop or laptop.
Your account and all your progress data are kept. You can return and resubscribe at any time without losing your history. If your assessment date gets pushed back, your preparation is waiting for you.
The IP-BQ and CQ are used across a wide network of airlines and aviation organizations, including Lufthansa Aviation Training, Eurowings, Discover Airlines, Condor, TUI, SunExpress, Cargolux, AeroLogic, and others. If you are preparing for a screening at any of these, Climbout has you covered.
Your assessment has a date. Your preparation starts now.
Try Climbout free — no credit card, no commitment. See where you stand across every IP-BQ category and build the readiness that matters.
