In the exam you'll be given an out of date half mil on which the exam is based. You will also be given a partially completed route log for the flight which usually contains the wind velocity and OAT amongst other things you'll need.

The exam is straight forward and if you have planned flights before you won't have a problem. Just double and triple check your measurements of distance and track and ensure you're measuring from the right points.

Also, remember that for each leg of the flight they give you a new wind velocity. This is quite easy to see on the log they give you but I completely forgot to re-do the CRP and didn't realise until I was checking it all, so look out for that.

In regards to the confused, there should be a partially filled at log at the end of the chapter which is part of the question. They just don't seem to tell you that! I never used the PPL Confuser but from what I've been told that is the case.

I found the actual exam easier than practice tests I did. Good luck!
