Ditto except I'm doing the CPL exams as I've already got the IR and need a commercial licence quickly. I find it useful to have my old PPSC books and brush-up course handwritten notes. All things considered I prefered the CAA exams to the JAR exams. The CAA exam questions seemed to always have a suitable answer available. With the JAR exams, some questions seem to have either no strictly correct answer, or two answers that you could argue are both correct. Perhaps its something to do with the translation, or perhaps its just me.

I also notice that the JAR exam subjects aren't so separated and similar questions seem to pop up in different exams. Never mind, I only know one way to get the licence and that is to pass all the exams. By the way it cheered me up to know I'm not the only one going round again.

I notice that the distance learning courses cost more than three times as much as they used to be. Can anyone point out a single advantage of JAR to me? I can't think of any.

Back to the books.
