How to get the KCAA exam database on your laptop
Step 1: You ask on the internet
Step 2: You realise how futile your attempt was
Step 3: Open your actual textbooks which you spent a lot of money on
Step 4: (and this is the most complex one) R-E-A-D your books. Actually read them. Who knows? There might actually be some useful information that may actually help you in your attempt at becoming a career pilot!
Step 5: Stop being lazy.
The exams are hard because the profession is hard. Everyone who holds a CPL had to pass some, some with more than one attempt. You are working to get a commercial licence which means you will one day be carrying revenue passengers. That means you might one day carry me or even my family. I don't want someone who took shortcuts to get where they are to be anywhere near the controls of the aircraft I or any of my kin are using. So stop wasting time and actually get some work done.

The above poster's advice isn't technically true. When I sat the performance exam, the graphs supplied in the examination booklet were so worn, there was a hole in the page where the correct answer should have been read off. Unfortunately, the hole encompassed several of the multiple choice answers, limiting how educated a guess I could make given that the necessary section of graph was missing.
You may also "fail" a few exams depending on your ancestry, regardless of performance.
I sat them a decade ago though, so i hope things have changed!
