Factor C - you r using the wrong school old chap! I would suggest that you get hold of an issue of Pilot Magazine, a UK publication, and transfer to a scholl that operates to CAA (UK) syllabus standards. In southern CA I would recommend either Rainbow Air at Long Beach, or UK Flight Training, also at LGB.
Hope that helps. You will find experienced and patient instructors/examiners. I know as I have used them both in the [past
