Vortex Wake Separation/Categories

Hi everyone,

I'm currently cramming for my stage 3 next month I have a couple of issues with vortex wake.

If anyone has a list or a link telling me the vortex wake category for each aircraft as I can't seem to find any consistant ones anywhere. i.e. Is the aircraft "Heavy,Medium or Light"

Also a link or document informing me separation between each aircraft in terms of nautical miles. I'm worried about this because I have been told different distances from different visits I have been on. Also I hear the vortex wake separation standards are different depending on different places. i.e. If a light aircraft follows a medium sized aircraft, what distance needs to be adhered to.

Any help would be fantastic so you can PM me if you prefer.
