Thanks again everyone for all the help.
I finally got a response from the UK CAA with a surprisingly good piece of news that I'm exempt from taking the VFR comms exam!
Its been 9 years since I did these exams but the studying has been going great so far and all the info seems to be familiar and palpable. POF drives me in circles sometimes but for the most part I'm getting through fine. Planning to take 5 exams towards the end of January.
Can anyone recall if formulas for any of the exams such as Instrumentation or Radio Nav are provided? I'm coming across a lot of the study material trying to figure out if I need the formulas committed to memory or not.
Have a wonderful new year everyone and again thanks for the support during this period.
