I can sympathise but not sure I agree entirely. Found that with the drier subjects like Air Law, question banks were invaluable. However, for the calculation heavy subjects like Flight Planning, GNAV, Performance then you really do need to know the subject to be confident of walking away from the exam with a pass. For these the banks do have their place but that is as has already been posted further up; the same as using a past paper during GCSE prep, to brush up on your knowledge and practice the calculations the last couple of weeks before an exam.

It is possible to appeal poorly worded questions, but in order to do that you must know the subject well enough to be able to justify the challenge. You can’t get that from just hammering the banks.
