My advice, having sat all the exams in the last few months is learn the contents of the books the best you can, as you will always need it and if you go onto do your ATPL it will give you a good understanding. But do as many of the confuser questions as you can. You will find that doing the confuser on it's own will pass you but you wont actually learn that much.
In essence though the confuser is about 90% right!

It's a book of mock tests, followed by the correct answers and a brief description of each. As previously stated, if you can do the mock test and get a score of >85%, you'll probably be ready to take the test for real.

i found that there were questions in the confuser that were identical or very similar to questions found in the actual tests. So any questions that you get wrong in the confuser make sure you know what the correct answer is and why because you might come across it again in the tests.

When I was at the stage to take the PPL tests, I used www.airquiz.com for online practice. They were good and very cheap. You may get more up-to-date info if you post in the private flying forum though, as discussion here is focussed on commercial training!

Do try not to learn answers to questions which may feature in the real examinations. One should learn the principles behind the answers.
For one thing doing this will make a candidate more likely to be able to answer any question then based on those principles.
For another, a candidate will be less likely to compromise himself in relation to safety and legality.

The purpose of the PPL theoretical knowkledge is to equip pilots with sufficient knowledge so that one day it may save their lives. The purpose of the exams is to see if they have learned enough.
If I was an unsuspecting passenger, I don't think I'd want to fly with pilots who just learn the answers from a book!
