Guys,
Tom at BGS - assuming he's still there - will put you right on this. I suggest you give him or Alex a call, or drop them a line via the BGS Forum. From memory, a liberal use of highlighter pen is ok, but no words as said above.
As with all of the ATPL subjects, the more of the QB you can get through (I did all of it) and the better your memory, the more likely you'll pass.
Good luck anyway.
