Cron,
The Answer to your question of JAA exams is B. In full time groundschool now and using Italian AND Bristol. But reference from the books for those questions you dont know is a must, I have heard of a lot of people who memorised question banks and failed? eg. Mass and Balance? The CAA are going to change 1 figure in a calculation q. so the answer that is usually right to you, is now wrong? If you dont know the formula .. you cant work it out. Very small margin for error on that subject!
