I did met a couple of months ago and used OAT cd rom MET. Much easier to understand the subject when used in conjunction with the book.

oops, been a while since I've been on here!
In answer the the videos, just do a search on 'ground school <subject>'
Its hit and miss and videos appear and disapear off YouTube a fair ammount these days
Just trawl through a few.
As for OAT, I've got their Q&A cd, find they go in to far too much detail. Beyond what you need for the PPL exams, still, I suppose it doesn't hurt having too much info.
And well done Aerofoil! Its always good to achieve something, at times you feel like you're getting nowhere fast....next up is the solo
and don't call me Shirley......

The results of PPL exams should be recorded on SRG1105 Section 7 http://www.caa.co.uk/docs/33/srg1105ff.pdf by the examiner at the time of marking the examination. Quite often they don't and students turn up for test with no record of exams taken. If you fail an exam you should be given a copy of FCL 252 Notice of Failure to ensure you don,t take the same exam twice.
And don't forget Section 8a!
Students should insist on seeing that the Examiner has entered their exam results on the form - there is no real excuse for any Examiner not to do so.
Assuming, that is, that the Examiner has actually marked the paper in the first place! Rumours of office staff, receptionists and other 'invigilators' marking PPL papers still persist......

failed met exam
hello all
i have a couple of met questions id like some help with ive tried reading the book but im still not getting it !
you are flying at night with a full moon setting in the west which direction would give you the best visability?
A west B north C south D vis the same in all directions!
i chose D but that was wrong
even my instructor said he would have got that one wrong
slightly different area now
am i right in assuming that a warm front is associated with lower pressure?
i always thought it would be high?
