CAA PPL Theory - Advice Needed

Hi Guys,

first post on here!
I’ve recently decided to pursue my dream of training to be a pilot.
having done various bits of research I’ve decided to book in my discovery flight and started to digest the first subject seemingly needed at most schools which is Air Law.

However I’m a bit stuck/ intrigued as to how is best to go about studying the PPL theory.
I naively like maybe a few others looked at it quite similarly to what the UK theory test is for drivers lol. Boy was I wrong!

I’ve currently got a free course from Bristol ground school on Air law and whilst it’s good I’m finding that I can answer the tests due to memorising the questions rather than fully understanding the topic.

I’ve yet to buy the Pooley’s air books but would it be recommended that alongside a online course such as easyppl or Bristol that I purchase the books to study?

Also does anyone have any advice for taking in the information other than completing the tests etc? I was using Flash cards and the usual revision methods for my mechanical engineering degree but I feel like I’m falling at the first hurdle with Air Law!

Any advice is appreciated!

Sonny
