Welcome Elyas,

The more questions you can study, the better. Try not to rush, the PPL is just a step along your path to becoming a confident pilot. You are better to take your time, and pass your ground school exams with ease and confidence, than to "cram" information just to pass, and then forget it.

Remember that you will receive ground school training only once, and probably not again, until you seek a higher license, where the actual flying skills, you will practice every time you fly in the future. So get the ground school topics really well into your mind, because they do have to last in your mind for your whole career as a PPL - they are not so easily refreshed!

Search topics here, and you will find all kinds of wisdom. But the reference books are the "official" source of information....

All PPLs have done it, you can too!

Hi Elyas,

I was freaking out myself not that long ago, I find this book to be perfect - Books | Air Pilot's Manuals - Thom | BTT080 | APM 8 PPL Question & Answers to accompany the Air Pilot's Manuals

obviously CAA air law will not work for you, but other sections cover absolutely everything you need to know, after every section there are really good explanations that put everything into place. Good luck and calm down - go through lots and lots of question banks, study subjects that you don't understand - don't just learn the answers

Cessna say there is a hundred thousand items to learn to fly a plane.
So pace your self and we all understand how much there is to learn and it does not stop when you have your PPL. Best of luck and do not feel to bad if you fail an exam once or twice just keeping going and you will get there.
