I know this is a bit off the point but I completed my JAR'S via distance learning with Oxford and passed all subjects first time bar one exam which I passed upon resit.
I feel that if I had have done the full time course and put in the same effort, I deffo would have obtained a clean sheet.
It's up to you though, and I know some guys n girls that went to different organisations with positive results. The main thing that will result in you being successful is YOUR commitment to study, declining the invitation for pub outings and dedicate your time in obtaining your goal "First Time Passes". Its short time suffering for eventually long time gain.
Best of luck
