I passed on my 3rd attempt with 80-something % after badly failing my first two. The questions had been rewritten for my 3rd attempt, completely. I hadn't seen some of the routes before but if you know the AFT method and the new CASA rounding you will be fine. I actually felt the exam was fair and not too difficult. Not 100% sure if it was because I was by far the best prepared I have ever been for an exam or if the change has made it easier, probably a combination.

In addition to the above, I found doing a couple practice questions just before leaving home was a great warm up to the brain into gear. And I also want to emphasise highlighting! Highlight corners of pages to flick to easily, highlight SGRs if you cant remember them, if you keep forgetting to not use VR in flight highlight a big cross through Variable Reserve. Try to rely on your brain as little as possible!
