Hi,

the "Simplifier" is published as part of the Jeremy Pratt textbook series, and as such it is designed to help you consolidate the knowledge gained through reading those books. It contains pre-test revision "brush-up" notes for each subject which the "Confuser" doesn't. It also acts as a practice exam book, in the same way that the Confuser does, but because it integrates with a recognised textbook series, the explanations to the answers are consistent with the textbooks. Also, the Simplifier questions are written specifically for the book and designed to both test your knowledge and prepare you for the sort of nonsense the CAA ask about in the exams.

The Confuser is generally considered to be, um, "derived" directly from the CAA's exam questions which are supposed to be confidential. Thus you can, if you are so inclined, just learn that in Paper 3, question 4 is "A" and so-on (although this is probably just as hard as learning the stuff anyway). If you do that, would you mind staying out of my space when you're flying and not over my house/place of work/kids' school?

Thanks.

OBA issue it because they use the Pratt series of textbooks.
