ATC, good luck for your exams... worse case scenario, resit you exams but work like a b*****d, and get the best grades you can. Im a typical average student, C's right across the board but that didnt stop me passing ATPL MOD 1 with 93% average. I wasnt interested with anything at school, but flying interests me so i get stuck in and get the work thats required done. So i can see where your coming from in a big way. But believe me, im working on trying to get the best academic qualifications i can, the market is in such a position where competition is fierce, you need something to stand out from the crowd!
Take it easy,
