Isn't this a potential $100K job? Everyone on the OT is already making six figures.

I'm sure the Syrian refugees would work out!

Maybe someone will take a pay cut for the challenge.

What's a decent average for an ATC? 7 safe landings out of 10? I could probably hit that.

Any landing that someone walks away from is a good landing.

I took the exam in the late 80's, its not easy. You have to score above 90 to be in serious contention, or it was that way then.

What's the exam based on?

It's 70 to be "qualified." 85 and above is "well qualified." They won't even look at you if you score below 85.

The current AT-SAT is comprised of eight sections. The Letter factory and scan parts are computer based exercises designed to assess spatial awareness and multi-tasking. LINK

I'd take the test just to put my 90 next to my 30 ACT.

There is an age requirement, you cannot be older than 31 to apply 
ETA: actually it's over 30

Has to do with the amount of time and training you need before you're a full-fledged controller. And they also make you retire young too.

It's still considered a good landing. You just have to add a slash to it--like a "good/fricked" up landing.
