From memory, it was a few years ago I sat that exam, they tell you use a current map and then say fly from A to B, not by airfield name but on co-ordinates. I think they give you an assumed met as well for the wind calculations.

My best advice is each question leads on from the previous one. The exam tells you to plog out the entire route then answer the questions, trouble is if you make a 2 or 3 degree error in the inital calculation, keeping in mind that this is still mutilple choice, you could be in a hopeless point by the end. Plot the first leg only, answer the question based on comparing the choices to your plog. Then once you have deceided on the right answer, use that as the base for the next leg and do-on.

Removes the chance of carrying a mistake all the way through and failing.

Good luck
