I have not taken the exam yet, but our company had a meeting with one of the CAAC examiners who was responsible for the actual administration of the dreaded CAAC exam and I was present. Examples of questions were given to the man, trying to persuade him that most questions don’t make any sense and must be changed. Some of the best examples were:
"You on FL210, would you:
a) A
b) C
c) B"
or
"You First Officer. You stomach feel ill. You will:
a) take 1 pill, ok to fly
b) take 2 pill, ok to fly
c) take no pill, ok to fly "
or
“Which year was Japan system agreed ?
a)1979
b)1989
c)1999”
(no need to mention that there is no such thing as Japan system related to aviation!)
and stuff like that.
As for the study materials, our school uses Gleim’s software and the "Blue" CAAC ATPL theory book with a "Green" ATPL theory sample questions which may come up on the test but no guarantees.
