80% is a pass, innit :)

Seriously, you've got the important bit right here

Forms 214 and 215 aren't the problem. They are fine and I can interpret them correctly

the difference between 80% and 100% is probably details like being able to identify some dumb Met chart symbol (back in the real world you can just look up if you need it).

I found the met exam one of the hardest. Also, it was the subject I least understood, despite reading and re-reading.

I don't want to frighten you, but, for me, the met exam was the one which was least like anything explained by Thom or like the examples from the Confuser. :{

There were two questions which I had never seen before, and several others were phrased somewhat differently.

I was able to answer about 14 of the 20 questions, without too much trouble, but I had to spend a lot of time over the other six. For some, of them I just worked on eliminating the obvious wrong answers, and picked the most probable from what was left, and crossed my fingers.

Strangely, I only failed the form 214 example question, which was a completely new example. When the instructor tried to explain why the answer was area one not two, I said his explanation would apply to either area, and he agreed - so it does seem it is not straight forward. :uhoh:

In the end, my preparation was to be sure I could answer all the questions in the Confuser, and then hope for the best.

I wish you the best of luck with it - however, once you've passed it don't just forget about it - try to use your knowledge, and other's experience to fly safely. And keep reading - it eventually begins to make some sense. ;)

Well, that cheered me up no end. :{

Got to laugh though – for heaven’s sake, it’s only an exam. Anyway, this might be my chance to go and get to know Gatwick. :O :O :O
