Jobsworth, as you will no doubt learn there is a vast difference between the RAF and the real world. I know because I've done it. At the time I did my licences, 1989, there were a lot of 22 year boys who thought they knew it all and couldn't understand why they were failing their licence exams. Because they thought they knew it all, they didn't put in the hard work studying and finding out what is what in civil aviation. I'm not putting you in this category. I studied all the books I could find for 12 months or so and then did a legislation course at Kidlington, at my own expense and time. What most seemed to ignore were the basics particularly module 2. It's not easy, even though it is supposedly getting easier, so don't think its a breeze otherwise you are in for a bit of a shock.
Good luck anyway.
