Failed PPL Ground Exam
Hi,
Today I managed to fail my first PPL Exam
As you can imagine I am feeling quite down about it, I had been stung by a jellyfish last night and was in some pain during the exam so maybe I should of not sat it.
My question is, I am at an FTO going from 0-fATPL. With a failed PPL exam now on my record, what will the conciquences be for when I am trying to find an Airline job? Basically how screwed am I?
Thanks

Don’t worry about it. Most airlines aren’t interested in what results you got in your ATPL exams so definitely couldn’t care less about your PPL marks. You’re not screwed and there won’t be any consequences. Just try to study better, it gets much harder.
With regards to your exam, what books are you using? Have you got the PPL Confuser (if not, get it)?

Airlines are not in the slightest bit interested in your PPL or any of its associated exams. The vast majority of airlines aren't interested in your ATPL exam results either, unless you're on a mentored or other kind of cadet scheme. All they're really interested in is that you posess the CPL or ATPL on the day you start work.
Do not dwell on past mistakes. Learn from them and make sure you don't repeat them.

Yes the PPL CONFUSER is the book to brush up with prior to taking any more tests,i found it reflected the exams much better than any others i used Stick in there!atleast you know the style of questions you will be getting.Good luck.If it was air law,then a very dry subject.But nav,met,tech ect are alot more interesting to study(but all as important i guess)

Don't worry
It's your first time at something totally new to yourself. Now you know the format and what is expected, use this knowledge to improve. You will quickly learn that this is the key to aviation training! Nobody gets everything right first time, what people are looking for is for you to improve on past errors!

Big secret
Check out past papers. The world does. it helps you understand how questions are phrased, and what type of answers are required.
