PPL Confuser
Hi All!
Been reading the forums since joining and have to say there are some very interesting conversations and views on the current commercial market.
I have just started a modular route to my CPL and currently in the process of preparing for my PPL exams.
I have had a look at the PPL confuser question list and was wondering how close they are to the true exam questions. I would grateful if anyone who has recently sat the exams (possibly post EASA changes) and has seen the confuser list could shed some light on this?
Also, I am doing the PPL at Fairoaks in Surrey and was wondering if there are any positive or negative comments about the school there? PM me if you do not wish to discuss in public.
Thanks.

The confuser is almost a decade out of date, the guy who wrote it died a long time ago and it hasn't been updated since.
Last I knew the PPL perfector was more accurate to recent exams, but this too may have changed with EASA.

I use ppl perfecter and confuser and I always go with the confuser just before an exam but I do find the perfector useful. I've found the questions similar to those of the exam having passed 2 only 2 weeks ago, I always use the confuser before an exam now and generally revise with the AFE books and test with the perfector.
What's the talk of EASA exams all about? I've been doing CAA exams as directed by my FTO.
Hats off to both chaps.

PPL perfector is alright. But as said, many questions are repeated which gets annoying.
********* is good for memorising answers. Not the best explanations though.
The best one in my opinion is PPL simplifier by AFE. Great explanations and almost identical to the actual exam. Would definitely buy this one instead of the Perfector. I can't comment on the confuser but I heard its rather old and may be outdated.

To supplement theory study for the two exams I have taken, I have used airquiz and PPL Perfector.
Questions within PPL Perfector were almost similar to the ones within the exam.
I have a copy of the The confuser, it is a good book but out of date.
I believe there hasn't been any change to the PPL exams, so far...

Hi
Just add my bit I to used airquiz ofr my air law but once go to the exam found that the questions were worded very differently. Defo +1 on the confuser alot better wording of questions.
Dont get me wrong the airquiz will do the job of testing your knowledge.

Just to add, the confuser was excellent (I finished my PPL the later part of last year). Do not rely on any of the exam preparation books (Confuser, AFE, Pooleys) for the Nav exam. Most of the questions do not appear on the charts anymore as they are too old. I only found one set of question in the confuser that I could actually use for Nav as all the airfields they referenced no longer existed.
Confuser is almost spot on (in some cases word for word) to the exam questions.

Thanks everyone for your responses.
I have just done a mock of the Human Performance questions from the confuser and scored 70% with only my general academic knowledge...I guess I better get studying if I want to pass!
Once again thanks and good luck to those about to take the exams.
