I just bought the normal silver version. I averaged 93% across all exams with 5 being 100% passes so it must be okay.
They way i did it was read through each Pooleys book once. Then hit the question banks till getting 95%+ on exams. Going back to books for anything you do not understand. I think I did around 300 hours all in. Which sounds like a lot but I spent that time alone on my first module of ATPL exams
