We used to have to draw our own fronts on weather maps, based on information from the station circles drawn on them. The first Nav plot also had to be accurate otherwise the whole exam would be wrong, as the next questions were based on the first one!

We also used to live in box at side o t' road....

Multi-choice questions as such are not a problem, although they are not the best way of testing knowledge, but I would agree that the present EARSA system is definitely not fit for purpose. There are 2 or 3 complaints almost daily to them about the standard of the questions, let alone the poor quality of the LOs. When they changed the names of certain vectors in the POF(H) LOs, they didn't appear to repeat them in the questions, so nobody knows what they mean.

But we are working on it
