Mr ATPL,
Mate, go and find Mike Allen if he is still at OATS. Buy him 8 cans of Bitter and he will teach you all day long.
That is what I did, except I never got him the beer!! Top man, he seems slightly crazy, but he is excellent on a one to one basis.
If you are struggling, notes will not help. You need to go through what you do not understand.
The very best of luck to you.
I cannot give you help cos I was on the last ever CAA course two years ago....
