Getting rid of oral exams in the U.K. was a bad move. In 1994 i passed my Aeroplanes 2 multi choice ( already had Aeroplanes 1 ) I was then failed on my oral test. In reflection i really deserved to fail . I went on to pass it 2nd time. What i am trying to say is that the oral is a safety net , true, people can get good at multi choices , and as the answer is right in front of you ,all it takes is a bit of practice. The surveyor will spot it if a guy does not know what he or she is talking about.
