That doesn't mean the OP is a bad person, or even a bad pilot, necessarily.

BUT, in aviation, pilots have to assimilate and pass many many tests and exams throughout their professional career - and be able to quickly assimilate weather reports and NOTAMS for the length of a sector, or an ETOPS sector, for example. So an ability to absorb information and regurgitate correctly it is pretty essential. If you don't have the ability to do that you will not make the grade.

As others have suggested, the OP is somehow not studying correctly, or not practising mock exams, or home life is too distracting etc etc. As I said up-thread, you basically have to study full time, AND also a lot of time away from the classroom - I studied from 0700- 2200 every weekday for about a year, (except when I was actually flying).

Your flying school chief tutor should be able to help you, and you can also ask them why you were put forward for the exams during the meeting. Remember, you are their customer: they work for you.
