Flight Planning,
It's best to enroll in a course for this subject, then just practise and practise the questions until you get into the right rhythm.
With flight planning, you just got to know the steps involved in
approaching each question, then mastering it.
Mr.Secombe at Bankstown, Sydney, is quite experienced and specialises
in the atpl course both through classroom and distance learning.
Try his approach but you also got to put the effort in.

The biggest downfall with flightplanning is, not reading the question and giving away easy marks, but in most cases, with the correct preparation there's enough marks to get over the line.
Once you have completed all the OZ atpl subjects, then you're well prepared and equipped to do the 14 JAA exams.
A person has to virtually take a year off work, to do these JAA exams.
The JAA exams are designed in that fashion and time frame, to keep people from non-European countries out of their aviation circles, enabling only European Union nationals to apply for jobs in that part of the world.
That's fair, because they and others have to pass all the CASA exams.
The current CPL exams and 150 hour programme, is an absolute joke and really lowers the value of the OZ CPL license.
That's why the JAA license is currently more superior than the OZ CPL license.
