That's in Air Law and is an examinable question.

No, but you may find that your options are more limited.

Have a look at the 'am I too old?' threads in the pro pilot training forums as well.

Best regards,

You have been given the wrong answer!

1. You must pass all exams within an 18 month period.

2. After passing the last exam, you must apply for your licence within 24 months following the date of the final pass. That means all flying completed, Skill Test passed and application received by the CAA. (Technically it's probably the date you post it off under Contract Law, but I wouldn't risk it!).
