To be honest although I can see why you are upset, you have put alot of effort in. There is a bit inside me is saying Darwin is working again. Less pilots completing the hoops means more chance for me to get a job at the end of it all. I know you are trying to rally support to get the JAA to change things because you think they are unfair but i don't think its going to happen and you should accept that and move on.
To be honest I don't think the JAR exams are particularly nasty. They are multiple choice with only 4 choices and no negative marking. 75% is the minimal pass rate which the can set which means that the exam is valid and not a random number game. I bet if they dropped the mark to 65% almost all of the wannabes who have failed would have passed first time. You either know the material or you don't.
BTW I am still waiting for the last set of exam results so i could have very well muffed the whole lot up as well.
