Agree 100% with six-sixty.
I reckon it is impossible to pass any of those exams without mastering feedbacks even if you understand the subject inside out.
So it becomes more to do with learning to read the question then to learn the 'stuff'. Note that you can in theory, pass those exams without even studying the subject matter at all, just by going through feedbacks and understanding them, which is a concern. Are the exams really testing the candidates knowledge?
It would be better if these were open ended questions where the candidate has to write sentences in order to answer the question. Yes marking it is a pain, but this way a candidates 'real' knowledge is tested. The CAA does take £60 per paper, im sure thats enough to hire some real examiners insted of using computers to mark the paper.
