Thanks for the info lads it's much appreciated. I run out of time on august so I need to really nail this one first go in order to leave as much time as possible to knock over the worst of all, flight planning.
Practice exams are going well, up In the 90%+ bracket. I had a he'll of a time with navigation but I think that was because I was studying after 10hr days at work and found myself falling asleep at the table trying to get through it. I've now taken some long service leave and have no trouble studying for 8 hrs per day.
Thanks again
