In the exam, you get a 727 weight and balance book and 5 pages of 727 load/ trim sheet. You will get around 2 questions worth 4 marks each that require you to complete the trim sheet in full. The answers are really close together so complete accuracy is necessary. For my exam I got: Find stabilizer setting for 15 degree flap. The answers to pick were A)5.3 B)5.1 C)4.9 D)4.7 E)4.3

As you can see they are extremely close, and I got 5.0 which is right in the middle of two answers. Took a guess and got it wrong even though I checked everything thoroughly.

Use the numbers provided by the Weight and Balance Booklet. I got some cheap dividers from my local newsagent for $3. I would use a 0.3mm mechanical pencil instead of pens or pencils.

They also provide charts for Take off and Landing so you don't mess up your blue book. I got 1 question on each and are worth 3 marks each.

The AFT notes are excellent and should get you through the exam comfortably.
