I did a "home study course".
this is what I did to help myself, well I really needed cuz I am lazy(when you have a nice TV and a PC at home)!.You can call that a study plan, I call that :your "week duty":

every week, take some pages out of your binders, and place them in a smaller binder you can carry with you.(by exemple chapter 2-3 for met, chapter 4 and quizz for aerodynamic, chapter XXX for XXX...)

that will be your "week' duty"(just take what you think you can do) for me it was only 15-20 minutes to 2 hours a day.Week end 3-5 hours.

take the binder with you, even if you go outside. Study in the train, in the bus,when waiting your girlfriend/friends in a pub, sitting in a park, when taking a lunch in a fast food...even 5 minutes a day it is good. IF you start to give up for 3 days, then 5 days, 2 weeks, then 2 months, and it is over.You will give up like many guys I have seen.You can even study when watching TV.These ATP certificates are 70% reading.Read 3 times if you have to.

the trick is too keep you psychologicaly focused on this ATP course.Personaly I think to open these thick binders, will demoralize you.It is why make yourself a binder for the week.


then when you are finished with all quizz,...replace everything in order and take again what ou need for the next 5-7 days.

I did that and it worked for me.English is not my first language, and I did not have any problem during my 14 exams.
