This 9 section exam sounds like it is all 120 questions taken as one big exam ?
I assume that only failed sections would have be retaken, like with the PPAER exam ? Or will they just take an overall percentage mark over all 120 questions ?
I assume the role of the current GR examiners in future will be to log some on to an online portal, and then invigilate ?
Would it not be better to have two exams with 4 or 5 sections per exam ?
It will stop this itty-bitty taking of mini exams like now, so has got to be a move in the right direction. Perhaps the likes of HPL and Op Procs can be reduced to a token number of questions and emphasis put on the more important subjects.
With the Navigation section, what is urgently needed are some routes to plan and associated questions. The current papers are utterly irrelevant to PPl VFR navigation.
