i self studyied all cpl and atpl exams on my own, i recomend you do human factors then aerdynamics then general knowledge. as for met, air law, nav, and performance they all come easy with experience when you are flying around getting hrs. as you will use what you learn out of these subjects pretty much everytime you fly. also with the casa exams they take practice in learning what the question is asking you it is never a straight forward question.
The books contain the full syllabus - not "just the basics". The Bob Tait books teach just the syllabus - ie, what CASA has determined is the minimum standard required. ATC takes it upon themselves to give you loads of extra information that is rather irrelevant for the theory exams, and they make no distinction on what is important for the exam, and what is just extra information.
If you want a textbook that has all the exam questions already in it, I think you should try the American syllabus.

I'm with Lasiorhinus, expecting to be given the Q's and A's just to get a pass is not conducive to good learning environment, especially in aviation. Even in training, there will be plenty of situations that require you to 'think on your feet', and without an understanding of the concepts, that just won't be possible. Treat every opportunity to learn more.
D90 - If you're giving yourself a month, then book the exam in for a months time! This is what got me through my ATPLs. Book it in, give yourself a deadline (as long as it's reasonable) and if something unforeseen comes up, you can change the exam date up to 4 days prior. It'll keep you on your toes.

Just a quick heads up, with the recent inclusion of TEM in the CHUF syllabus the exam has become a very different beast, i did it about four weeks ago and trust me its a tough exam. You will find about 40% of the 40 questions are threat and error management and if you don't properly prepare for it you will be in for a surprise. I know plenty of guys and gals who were like my friend said CHUF was real easy blah blah blah..... guess what most of them failed it...

I ended up starting with AGK and have also done Aerody as well. Have Met booked for next week.
I wanted to hold off on Human Factors, due to the introduction of TEM, which I notice has now been included in the new Bob Tait books.
Btw Bob Tait books are certainly the way to go.
