Not sure about the other two but have just done Air Law and I counted 2 questions that I hadn't seen in Bristol during prep. However I also did an Instruments exam which featured quite a few more new ones, so a bit variable.

Just sat all 3 of them last week.
Air Law = 99% Bristol Question Bank and Feedback papers.
Radio Nav = 90 - 95% Bristol Question Bank and Feedback papers.
PoF = 25% Bristol Question Bank and Feedback. I'm not sure if there were loads of new questions or the QB and Brush-up simply isn't as good for PoF as it is the other subjects?

Spanner.....
....in the works!
Dare I say it, but shouldn't one be focused on understanding the subject properly so that it doesn't matter what % of questions are in the QB's.
Hunker down boys......incoming!

Completely agree. Bristol is a great training aid, but to rely on it will put you at a serious disadvantage, if not in the exams themselves (I understand the CAA are trying to change the exams to limit the chances of people "bristoling" their way through them), then at the interview, type rating or flying stage.

as far as I'm aware cqb 13 is still in use as cqb 14 was so piss poor that every country except sweden threw it out and the next change is due about this time next year with the cqb 15 and the easa syllabus. It's all very well making the exams less "bristolable" but not if it means lunatic questions and certainly not if it means the exam answers are wrong! that doesn't help anyone!

I'm sure Bristol are the best people to answer this question although I suspect that they were equally surprised with the exam. I am told that Bristol's database is pretty accurate so one wonders whether these questions are slowly being dripped in from the forthcoming CQB 15.
So Baz, what is happening?

Jan PoF Exam
I was comfortable with the Bristol QB and feedback and had spent a lot of time on the actual course material itself. I thought I couldn't have been much better prepared for the exam.
I thought that a lot of the 'new' questions that came up were unclear and poorly worded. I knew the course material, but for a lot of these questions, I wasn't clear on what they were even asking. It wasn't a case of the new questions simply being complex.
I spoke to several people afterwards, who all said the same thing.
