I didn't use the QB for module 1; and wouldn't have used it for Gen Nav / Flight Planning / Performance & PoF (Mod 2) as you need to practice and understand the calculations and techniques IMHO.
[Note/ Bristol give you all the information to pass the exams without using the QB....it's a tool to enhance your exam preparation]
Air Law : couldn't believe how good it was, I was struggling due to not being able to revise Air Law for more than 30 seconds in any one week! Was getting 50 - 60% at most during the brush-up course and wasn't improving.
What I did was absolutely tan the Air Law QB a couple of days before in the exam week. Exam went well....took me 12 minutes and got 98%, virtually all down to the QB [was 6 months ago so it may not be up to date.....but I'd be surprised if it wasn't]. But I did this as a last resort....would have loved to been able to absorb all the info that Bristol had given me.
Op Procedures : thought QB was very good.
Radio Nav : as Op Procedures.
Mass & Balance: all the feedback you get is excellent, paper or QB
Good luck
[and remember the best advice is to learn the subjects as throughly as possible, stuff from your exams will crop up when you're doing your CPL & IR etc......and you do want to be a professional pilot!]

Quick question
Going through Bristol's first MET progress test and this popped up:
An aircraft with the airfield QNH correctly set and flying at an indicated altitude of 2000ft is approaching ground of 1500ft elevation. The OAT at 2000ft is minus 9ºC. At what true altitude will the aircraft overfly the ground?
a)2020 ft
b)1520 ft
c)1980 ft
d)1960 ft
Answer is c, and I know I hate MET but I get the answer as 340ft
My logic:
ISA @ 2000' = 15 - (2 x 2 )= 11 deg
ISA is 20 degrees different from OAT (11 + 9)
Therefore, as there is 4% height difference for every 10 deg temperature difference.... = 8%
8% off 2000= 160ft.
True alt = 2000-160= 1840ft.
Question asks height a/c will fly over ground> 1840-1500 = 340 ft.
I know it's late but what am I doing wrong?

HB,
Your calc looks correct from first glance....however, am not an expert in the matter, but shouldn't
read airfield 'QFE' rather than QNH?? QNH is regards msl...why wld we refer QNH to airfield..?

Bristol QB Mocks
Morning everyone!
Just a quick one.
Do the mocks in the Bristol QB contain questions that are more likely to turn up in the exams, or are they just randomly picked form the database? Not sure if anyone knows but thought I would ask just to see.
I must say ive found the QB an excellent tool to go with the notes. Some very interestingly worded questions in there! All good fun though!
Any info would be much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Expedite

From experience the questions from the Online QB are randomly picked from the database, but do give a pretty accurate picture of what is in the exams..
You will find though that the same question can turn up more than once in the database, so while some subjects may have 600 questions quite a few could be repeats, just worded slightly different etc.
The best way is to do a sequencial exam questions 1-100 and then the 100-200 etc until all are covered and you're happy with them.

Littco has a good point. If you want to make the best use out of the database then you need to go through each and every question using the search function. I set up a word document and cut and paste any that I got wrong and then used that as a master list highlighting the areas I needed to bone up on.
As to the relevance of the database to the exams you are about to sit it will depend on whether you hit an exam where the CAA have introduced new questions that aren't yet picked up by BGS. I finished off a few months ago and as a rule of thumb I would say 70-80% of the exams were word for word from the database give or take a little bit of grammatical licence. The rest were variations of the same theme and only the occasional odd ball appeared that I hadn't seen. If you were to spend a month going through the database then you would clean up. Most people I have chatted to tended to only use the database in the final few weeks and very few actually bothered to go through every question.

I just sat performance and around 85% of the Q's were similar to those on BGS.
Mass & Balance, similar again, if you can crack the feeedback and handle the CAP you will be fine
POF, again a lot on BGS, however in my paper (July) there were a few newish looking q's there. One or 2 performance related q's as well ie calculations using the T-D / W x 100% formula
As for the rest, I am pretty sure that you will see a lot of similarites from BGS.
Goodluck

Yes make sure you make full use of the Bristol forum to get explanations of feedback answers you don't understand, check the Feedback forum to see what the CAA are introducing and finally when you do the exams, contribute your own feedback so that others benefit (as you did).
