Much respect flybymike.....and I mean that seriously with no sarcasm.

The last time I did exams was in university and they were all essay style. I personally found some of the wording and nature of the questions in the CAA exams to be...emmm....confusing. I feel that I have a pretty good understanding of the subjects as I didn't just use the practice exams to study but I do believe that being able to get to grips with the way the questions are worded and the tricks they try to play on you really helped. I don't know if I would have failed if I did no practice exams first but I don't think I would have done as well.

So, to all you people who had to walk into the exam not knowing what to expect, well done.

The wording of exam questions is deliberately set to confuse. It's partly to test knowledge and partly IQ. There is some 'filtering' going on......
