London Boy,
You NEED to download a copy of LASOR's. The CAA plain English guide to FCL. There is a section within (J I think from memory) that will detail evrything you need to know. Go to
www.srg.caa.co.uk Put Lasors in search field and hey presto
That said. Nope you cannot do the exams one at a time. Most schools split the exams into two blocks. In my case an 8 and a 6 if you're doing ATPL, although a CPL school will do something simliar for the lower number of exams required.
You are allowed no more than three attempts at any one subject, completed over no more than 5 (I think) visits to the exam centre. Fail any subject three times or run out of visits to the exam centre and all credits are erased and you go back to starting again
The exams are ALL about application. Put the effort in and you should pass first time. Kid yourself about your studying and it will be an expensive few days of lining the CAA's poskets
