Uncopilot,

Having recently done the exam- about a month ago and a 10% over achiever , the flight plan forms they provide are the same as AFT with a few add ons at the end you wont need. The boxes are also smaller, so might have to write a bit neater but otherwise very very similar!

In regard to the exam, Speed speed speed speed, did i mention speed? Accuracy and speed are the two biggest things in this exam.

I finished personally with 10 seconds on the clock and did not have time to review my questions whatsoever, the system submitted the exam itself after 3 hours and i sat there with my pulse racing hoping id passed!

Doing 3 hour full practice exams are futile- you can't fully replicate exam conditions and the adrenaline you feel in the exam, I couldnt sit a full 3 hour exam and concentrate during practice exams but managed to do it for the actual- ps think that Red Bull halfway through helped me

Good luck!
