I had rather enjoyed talking to with other grown-ups to be honest SkyHawk-N. Hey I've got my air law exam tomorrow any tips
If stuck, and having to guess, then go for the longest most legalise answer available. Good luck. I think air law is the HARDEST of the exams because so much of it is new. Have you read up about QNH \ QFE \ Transition layers ? Every single exam I've taken has asked about that in some guise or another.

Also if they start spouting on about weight and mass, and not using SI units make sure you get up, leave and inform the CFI that "up with this I will not put" and send a stiff letter about it to the CAA.

The original debate was over people posting meaningless dross, especially one-liners containing no meaning, and personal attacks,
Welcome to the wonderful world of the internerd. I think you've got to expect a bit of roadkill on the information superhighway. The anonynomity that forums provide means people invariably say things that they would never do in real life. You've also got to accept that ASCII only really conveys 80% of the meaning. If you read some of the more heated discussions it's usually 2 people arguing about something and they both have a very slightly different take on what the other person is saying (mostly containing the sentence "I wasn't saying that xxxx" or "I didn't mean yyyy"). Although I have to say, for what ever reason, this is probably one of the more vicious forum I actually read.

The secret to all ppl exams Gem is RTFQ youve heard it before you know it but its there again for you
What about the golden rule always go with your first answer ? I'm undecided about that. In my initial exams it would've got me a few more marks since I did change right answers to wrong answers. Towards the end I've corrected wrong questions so I've come out even stevens overall. I've still heard it bandied about a few times though, your first answer is more than likely your correct answer.
