There seems to be a view on this thread that the ATPL exams are simply a "hurdle" to be passed before getting on with the job. Thus the approach of question bank cramming has a logic to it, and boasting about pass marks may or may not tell much about true understanding - HOWEVER much of the info learned has practical applications! The " shallowness" of this approach to aviation knowledge has been very obvious these last 10 years.
So, just remember, job interviews may be conducted by "old school types" who do know the subjects and who will quickly expose shallow understanding!
