I too am surprised you would not view disclosure of the waypoints as cheating.

First of all, having to find them on the chart is a test of whether you can interpret latitude and longitude coordinates. Secondly if you know the route you could measure the distances and tracks pre exam. Also if you know the route you could get a good idea of any danger areas or controlled airspace frequencies etc, about which questions may be asked.

I could go on with a much longer list of the advantages it would give you over any other trainee who, like 99.99% of people, just learn the subject and then take the exam! I am also surprised that you know in advance which paper you will be sitting.

There are some quirks and oddball questions in the series of exams and this is something which is mentioned over and over again on this forum, however, we all have (had) to suffer them on an equal basis.

Despite these comments I do wish you good luck for a pass.
