Today oct 29, realistic to start and pass exam for MET + RADNAV on dec 15 ?

Hello,

Sorry for the poor english in the subject, I had to comply with character restriction but I also wanted to include all clues in the question.

I explain the situation, I already passed 8/14 exams, first time pass in two sits : 21 - 31 - 32 - 80 and 10 - 22 - 40 - 70
I am in modular and I have a day job. I can study in the evening and part of week ends (limited to woman acceptance factor).

I want to keep the most difficult subjects (to me) for the very end : Gen Nav and Flight Planning.

I passed my second batch yesterday. We are october 29th, there is a sitting in my area in december 15th. Now I'm telling myself : just keep beating the best and score 2 exams on the next date, then you will be able to relax and enjoy christmas holidays.

Practically, I opened the RadioNav book yesterday and I'm guessing this won't be the hardest one. This one is doable on dec 15th. But I don't want to smoke a sitting for one and only exam. I must pass two. That leave me with MET. The book is huge, maybe the thickest.

So the question is can I do MET + RADIONAV in 1 month and 15 days from start to exam. 45 days. And pass. Having a day job and a wife.

If I put only 3 hours of study a day for 45 days. Doable ? Or too risky for MET ? Anyone ?

radionav is straight forward , however met ,the content is so broad, it is doable in a month, but your wasting a sitting if you fail met .

personally i would leave it longer and combine with some other subjects

Flight Planning looks hard to anyone at first glance but once you go through the subject you realise it's just a matter of practicing with charts and question bank. Met requires much more brain work and time to master and understand it. So with that time gap, there's high chance you will be running out of time and of course rush to get at the end of it which trust me it is the last thing to do with a subject as MET if you want a first time pass and a good score. In my humble opinion, you should consider to attend RADNAV and FP at your next exam sitting and drop MET at the moment.

Ok guys thanks.
I'm finishing the RADNAV book today so I know have to practice and revise but it is not a concern as I will have 45 full days to practice the QB.
I decided to go with MET also, I think having to manage two exams instead of 4 for the sitting will considerably ease the process.
I'll keep you update after I passed those two with success.
