taildragger2,
Who wound you up and let you go!?
If you read my post again, (no, read if carefully
) you'll see that I said that feedback and the sample questions are very useful, ("they'll help" was the phrase, I think!)
My point is that there are thousands of questions in the JAR question bank that haven't seen the light of day yet, so you're not going to get away with not doing the hard graft before hand! (S h i t happens, this isn't the American ATP so we're all faced with this situation!)
As far as I'm concerned PPSC
did give good feedback on their consolidation course (I'm sure that's one of the reasons I was successful).
By all means gather your own database of questions, but be wary that
all of the schools put a lot of hard work into getting their information together, which I suspect is copyright, so don't go throwing their info into the public domain unless you have a lawyer on your side!
Good luck!
