I did a Mech Eng degree, I'm finding ATPL study is not as intellectually difficult, but a massive volume of learning. Halfway through phase 1, I'm not quite sure how you ever get to remembering everything for a block of 7 exams... Obviously people manage it though.
Having said that, I still find myself scratching my head for a while over some of the more technical concepts and have referred back to A-level Physics books now and again. I know people say you can do ATPLs without any scientific background, but it must be
very hard work!
