My experience is that the phrasing of the questions in the PPL e-exams is quite unlike that used in either the AFE or Pooley's books, or the PPL Tutor and Airquiz websites/apps.
I also have a set of the most recent CAE ATPL books. Subjectively, the PPL e-exam question phrasing and presentation was closer to those than to AFE or Pooley's.
The PPL syllabus items on CAA portal match a subset of the headings in the ATPL books word for word, so perhaps they are now a simple subset of the content of the commercial exams?
It appears that the sample questions/papers in AFE/Pooley's and online are of very limited use now, at least for the "fact-based" subjects.
