Having not studied for many years I first felt daunted by the content of the PPL examination syllabus. Surprisingly I managed to pass all bar one at the first attempt. The one I failed was the aircraft technical. I thought this was one I would pass easily and therefore decided that I didn't need to study too hard for it...Big mistake. 60% no studying - 95% With revision.
Also have to admit I found myself getting back into the old study habits quite easily, made me feel young again!
