Ian_Wannabe: I'm also sitting at "work" today - so you get the benefit of my input as well I'm afraid... <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I think its good you're doing the "Air Bore" first - best to get it out of the way: the rest are more interesting (because they're mostly about flying!), and therefore easier to make stick in your brain.

As has already been said, definitely buy yourself a copy of the Confuser. Armed with this and the text book I would:

1) Read the text book from cover to cover, making bullet point notes of anything that seems relevant along the way. Yes, sometimes that will mean writing out a loot of cr&p, but I believe this is effective as whenever information goes IN through your eyes and then OUT through your arm, it helps to stick in your brain - hopefully just long enough to get through the exam;

2) Go through the Confuser questions resisting the temptation to cheat. Mark yourself - expect low score initially;

3) Now focus only on the questions you got wrong... go back to the text-book, and try to understand the issue for each question you got wrong. Then, re-do the Confuser questions you got wrong and mark yourself again;

4) Repeat until score is better than 90%;

5) Sit the test before you forget!

Hope this helps,


Andy
