Lets clear one thing up..
From my post above I'm not looking for sympathy or trying to make myself out to be better than anyone, I was just stating what I thought of my experience down there and hoping to give others who are going down a few pointers.
There is nothing I can do now except apply again next year, and for one you dont need to tell me that , you dont know me , so dont question my methods or what I have or haven't done.If you found it easy, good for you and best of luck in phase 2, As for my father I was just using him as an example, as a current ATC he's going to have the best response to any questions that I had, and if you think different that's your opinion.
I personally feel I wasn't given the best opportunity to pass the test ,had I of being presented with all the necessary revision, maybe things would of being different.
Even If I had of passed , I would of still questioned the system.
Thanks
