Ok, conflicting theories here. Oxford bash into you how important it is to get a first time pass in your groundschool, even better to get an average of 85% +.
Also, you MUST get a first time pass IR or your job prospects will take a severe hammering. Now this put the fear of god up me but is this just another Oxfordism?
I, like many others, know of folk who took several attempts at groundschool exams and a couple of attepts at the IR and are now happily employed (albeit with none of the big boys)
Granted, a first time pass groundschool does show you can cope with the workload of the type rating theory, but can it all be that important you get everything first time or is it as Scroggs says and are they only interested in the fact you have the licence?
