got into the thick of the ATPLs, became disillusioned, and gave up on the dream.
here my big secret to pass your ATPL:
sleep, eat, walk with a binder that you would have previously prepared for 2 weeks of "homework".
even if you spend 10 minutes a day, it is still better than nothing and you wont give up so easily.
the quantity can be frightening I agree, but if you separate your homework from these thick binders, it should be much easier on your brain!
if you study 30-60 minutes a day, it takes 12-14 months.
4-5 hours a day, 7-8 months
8 hours a day 5-6 months
my brain stalls with more than 4-5 hour a day! and you?
