Just a quick update, I wrote and passed my airlaw exam this morning
and indeed wrote the new paper (013/05).
As BEagle pointed out in the literature, I was only told what areas were weak, despite my trying for discussion of the exact questions I got wrong. In an exam of 40 questions where the subject being examined is as broad and detailed as airlaw I really cannot see how a single incorrect answer indicates weakness in the area it was testing. It's much more likely to be the case that the student possibly hasn't ever encountered the particular fact being asked before.
I agree though that if, on the other hand, the student consistently gets questions from a certain area wrong then perhaps that would indicate weakness in that area.
Perhaps the exams should move with the times and computers can generate and mark the exams. Exam related administration work would be reduced to a minimum and everyone's exams could consist of a different set of questions (or is that already the case?).
