The exams are not difficult.
You get to take them when you choose i.e. once you are confident of passing. Not like school/college where they were an immovable date. |
Welcome Jimmy,
Exams intimidate all but the most experienced exam takers. Exams are not the best way to determine competence, they are just the most practical, and can be given by people who, themselves, may not be competent to judge your competence. Take the exams when you are ready, they are your opportunity to express what you know, rather than to intimidate you, and remind you of what you don't know... Think of exams as working for you, rather than the other way around! |
Time off in loo
Read books on the train, copy pages and leave them in the loo, read them in dentist waiting rooms, make them part of your life.
It worked for me and several friends ( still in their loos to this day:) ) |

Some of the above advice is incorrect in the UK. Whoever is setting the exam assesses whether you have gained sufficient knowledge and then approves you to take each exam. Although the exams are not difficult, the rules about taking them are complicated and I recommend you take your school's advice about how to deal with those rules. PM me if you wish. |
When can I take the exams?
You can only take your exams once an approved training organisation (ATO) has recommended that you do so and after you have completed the appropriate training course of theoretical knowledge instruction to a satisfactory standard. See here - https://www.caa.co.uk/General-aviati...-examinations/ |
really? i thought the requirement for mandatory training had been cancelled.
but regardless of that , youll be best to sit two exams at a time, fits in with the system better. |
I too think the mandatory training bit has gone - the CAA website is a mess - but still think you need an ATO to take the exams.
I may be wrong - my wife says I am all the time. |
You can take the exams at a Registered Training Facility (RTF), provided they have a ground examiner available.

Ground school is still technically required but they removed the "minimum 100 hour" requirement. How much is up to the ATO, the RF or soon the DTO..............
