Hi everyone.
I am newly registered here but having benn reading the forums for a while.
Going back to original point of the thread I am a little worried.
Statements such as:
"... are they so easy?"
"The majority of people pass them first time. They really are not very difficult."
"I remember thinking if there are really people flying around who could only manage to get 70% on that exam then I hope they keep well out of my way".
I have just started my PPL and am struggling with the ground exams. I haven't done any for real yet but am only getting between 50% and 60% on my practice papers.
I work for a certain Air Traffic Services provider and have been associated with ATC both operationally and technically for 12 years now. I have an engineering degree and am chartered. I have spent many years working with motorcycle and car engines and also fly model aeroplanes. I would have thought that I might have been able to do better in those areas at least... but no!!!
So has anyone any recommendations?
What worries me is that rather than taking the attitude of trying to learn I am now thinking along the lines of how the hell am I going to pass the exams which is not the best way surely!!!
Any thoughts would be most helpful!!!
