hey John
know exactly what you mean, its def not the fun bit of the PPL !, I got the advice of here and it worked a treat. Read the Trevor Thom/Air pilot manuals to learn the subjects, once through them just to implant the concepts with no notes then again for real.
When it comes to passing the exams (vs learning) then there is nothing better than the PPL Confuser, the skill is not just in the subjects but learning how the caa play with the questions.
Personally I did one exam every two weeks and crammed for each one then moved on to the next, i did the confusers text over and over till i got 100% then in most of my real exams managed the same.
Some are for sure hard, i found met the worst, mainly nav i think you should really be flying and doing some practical to make it mean something.
btw i believe that the new pc based ppl cbt is far quicker and just as effective as the confuser.
good luck, and yes it's def worth it
