Oh, there is life
Select, I was orginally all set for PPSC, and as you know, they are no more. I had heard good things about LGU, and visited them at the beginning of this year. I spoke to the instructors and managed to track down a student that had finished his ATPL theory and was using their sim for his IR renewal. He had nothing but praise for the school, so I bit the bullet. BGS sounded like a good option, however, I feel more comfortable with the full time resedential course than distance learning. Oxford was also an option but was not tempted by the price, and from talking to other students, the general consensus was that the extra money was not worth it, however, I am sure others may disagree.
With respect to the pre-course revision pack, I think the object of the exercise is to give you some sort of indication of the knowledge that is required before you start the course. It is all basic mathematics and physics, but some people have been away from school for a long time and will need to do some revision. I found that working through the test helped me to remember the stuff I learnt at school/college. I did the test at home and took it with me to the Uni, and one of the instructors marked it for me while I had a go in the MCC sim

Might see you next year.
