What are the pre-employment tests required of applicants with at least 52 weeks of previous air traffic control (ATC) experience?

Pre-employment testing is not required if the applicant is applying to a specialized experience vacancy (experienced ATCs).  However, if these experienced applicants apply for an entry-level vacancy announcement, they will have to take the ATSA.
