Not guilty m'lud....
But I made great use of the "Question Bank" for the oral boards though.... surely this is just as underhand?

Is use of a question bank really underhand? In my experience looking at a comprehensive question bank pretty much covers both MATS 1&2, therefore making you go and read up on both and know pretty much everything you could be asked.

What it highlights is the style and type of question you will be asked. It's one thing knowing the questions, but you have to know the answers, whether you know what you may be asked or not.

I don't think there has ever been a qustion bank that tells a trainee that there are only a few topics that they need to learn to get through!

At the college for me the biggest indicator of what you may be asked was never a question bank, but a knowledge that certain instructors had 'pet' subjects like Met, ATSOCA, etc and brushing up on those was always more invaluable than any question bank!

On the subject of question banks, all the good ATPL ground schools have them for their students to study. Hell, you even get the 'confusers' for PPL etc. I dont see how a question bank could be deemed underhand when our 'customers' more than likely used them at some stage to get their ATPL's in the first place. TBH, I probably would never have passed my Air Law exam for my PPL had I not had the confuser :eek:

:ok: :ok:

However, ATC is much the same...There are only a finite amount of questions that can be asked. For someone to put together a list of these questions to aid their study shows initiative.
