if its any help i was told i was !!!!e from hour one and told i would be lucky to pass.
Come the test i was that knackard I reverted to diving instructor methods.
Passed with a hand shake for a debrief. And told later by my IR instructor that the examiner said I was a solid pass with no issues and the best that the instructor had given him in the last 2 years. Which just confirmed to me that the instructor was just an old bullying tosser. 5k for bugger all. I never used and never will use the pish that he wanted me to patter.
