SAMRA/SARON/INRAT
Just finished the Aero Course and...well my brain melted. May not get a chance to write the exams quickly as they seem to be taking an age to get back to me about spaces at the exam centres. Any good advice (other than smashing the WorkBook) on how to prepare for the exams? Advice greatly appreciated.

When did you email transport Canada regarding the exam dates?
Are you convert any license to transport Canada equivalent?
I have email them and waiting for their response to convert my FAA ATP to TCCA.

Suggest as follows to study / read / review - I wrote them last year, passed all 3 the first round:
1. Aerocourse Ground school - ATP workbook, ATPL questions and answers workbook and Instrument Questions and Answers Workbook
2. Read latest AIM
3. Download Dauntless INRAT Theory App from App store - once off payment - well worth it.
4. Browse through CARS online.
5. Purchase the pdf CAP and CFS from NAVCANADA website
6. Purchase a www.nizus.com membership for 3 months for all 3 - it has loads of practise exams which are similar to what you will get in the exams - these were great leading up to the exams to keep practising and they give you great explanations of your errors
This pulled me through with all marks in high 80's
PM for more info if you want.

Hi guys.
First of all, thank you, guys, for all tips.
I received my health certificate yesterday after waiting seven months for it. I've been studying to convert my Brazilian flight license to TC. Regarding the three exams I need to do, which one would you advise me to do first: SAMRA, SARON, or INRAT?

Wrote all 3 in 3 days. Had to repeat SARON. If you are not used to CAR, please go through the important sections. I can’t emphasis more about this. I am not from Canada so had a hard time with the CAR.
Else, if you put in efforts it quite doable.
Wrote the exams in July, received the license in Oct

You said to purchase a Nizuz membership to practice the questions. What is the difference between Nizus and ATPL Questions and answers workbook? I had Aerocourse online classes, I've answered all the workbook questions, and I almost have all questions/answers memorized, but I'm not feeling confident yet.

The explanations for each question are also good.
Worth it.

I purchased it, and you're right. It will help me so much. I would appreciate it if one of those tests was exactly the same one I will do. The explanations in each test are more useful for understanding each point than reading 300 pages. I was an airline pilot in Brazil for many years, and I remember when I was applying for ANAC (It is like TC in Canada) exams, I used to do many practice tests like Nizuz and one of them was the same test with the same questions in the same order I had done it a few days before the test. What a dream. Thanks, man!

Hey!
Here is my experience regarding those exams.
I'm converting my EASA (Europe) ATPL into Canadian one. I fly for European airline with +7khrs on A320.
I just wrote SARON, SAMRA and INRAT 3 days in a row.
I had to squeeze reviews between work and family time. Was not that easy.
I spent a total amont of approx 100h in the last months trying to understand CARs and specificities of those written exams.
As time was limited, I intended to focus on passing, not having highest marks possible.
Culhane ATPL books from 2018, TC AIM and Nizus 1 months subscription were my sole materials. At first, training marks were low (50-60%) but increased slowly with time. I went to write exams with training marks between 65 and 80.
I was happy to notice that exams were quite similar from those of Nizus. Maybe questions are sometime a bit trickier in real exams, but still doable.
I passed all 3 exams with marks from 84 to 92.
TC AIM vas very useful. And nizus tests enables to know on which parts reviews should be emphasized.
Happy flights!

One month for each exam and you will be fine. Its a lot of work to get through and the questions are set up to ensure you have some background knowledge (ie: you studied)
