Started studying for EASA B1/B2 modules
Hello Im new to this forum so apologies if a similar question has been asked before. I just started studying for my EASA maintenance modules using Club 66 pro. My question is that if im consistently getting decent marks in the practice tests set up by club66 then am I ready to take the actual exam? My worry is that the questions being given to me by club66pro are not reflective of what is going to come up in the actual exam? Also I feel like the questions being given in this Maths module seem to be too easy, I was expecting A-level content when studying this module but it is mostly about GCSE level, can anyone clarify if this seems right?

I did O level maths at school and that was sufficient.
Your are not designing an aircraft, just maintaining it to manufacturers instructions.
One thing you will need though is an understanding of Imperial units, ie: Feet, Inches, pounds, etc. as around half the world's aircraft are built using these.
Good luck

Modules 1 (maths) and 2 (physics) are very very basic, and some EU countries (for example, Czechia) credit them automatically if you prove you had passing marks in these subjects at school.

Decent marks is not enough. If you are doing the prectice questions you need to be getting 100% correct consistently. The real exams will have questions you've never seen before and as it's an 80% pass that's required you need to be nailing. It.
Good luck.

But yes penalty marking is no longer a thing.

I always thought the penalty marking was a good thing as it showed that if you don't know the answer you would go and find out rather than guess. As a maintenance engineer guessing is not a good thing.
Also I think the oral exams were a good way of ensuring that the candidate had a good command and understanding of english and the subject, and had the right character.
I believe the dropping of oral exams was along the lines of, "when was the last time someone failed an oral exam"?
When I took my BAC1-11 type rating oral I didn't fail but was told to go away and gen up on the pneumatic system and the surveyor would ask me about it when next in the hangar. About a week later I saw him in the hangar and approached him about it. He asked, "all genned up now"?, I said yes and he said, "Well done", and that was that.
