I've got the same CD and my ATPL school uses a web based system. having studied in different countries i can tell you that the UK has a reputation for making exams and studying in general harder than is necessary. By not releasing the questions database, they are trying to make the exams harder than is necessary, to "maintain high standards". The only thing UK training has going for it is that it is harder than training offered in other countries. unfortunately it is not necessarily of a better quality.
Why do theymake us do the exams in a maximum of three seatings, even though we have 18 (or is it 24?) months to complete the exams? Wouldn't it be better if you could of you could do two exams a months for 7 months. It sure as h&ll won't make you a better or worse pilot. i would like to know what reasons the Belgrano have for the layout of the current system.
there is a questions database (illegal?) that has been floating around cyberspace recently. I don't know the exact website, but a bit of googling should lead you to the right place. i wouldn't bother if i were you as i hear the question bank is going to be changed soon.
As for doing the actual exam on a computer system, the Belgrano don't do technology or "user friendly".
Good luck
