Re: Conspiracy Theory
Do both! Try and understand what you can, especially when distance learning, it's not easy, but you must pass those exams and so do lots of questions to.
Fly UK, I spent a long time trying to learn off everything during my first module, and although very noble, I sure as hell didn't understand everything, with the best will in the world!!! BUT I HAD TO PASS, and did so quite well.
Do I know or remember everything now? Hell no! Don't put too high an emphasis on all this information, it's too much too fast, time to learn and figure out the important stuff as it applies when you are flying and training, but for now, people do what they can to pass, and learning questions although next to impossible without some basic understanding of the text is a way to pass...not ideal but then again neither is the syllabus.
So I repeat, learn and understand what you can, then hammer those qbanks until you can answer those questions, time is ticking and you don't have that much of it to do 14.
Good luck
