New online question bank

Looks like Ground Training Services in Bournemouth have put together an online ATPL question bank. Google "flyingexam" to find it. Looks ok and am thinking of signing up for it. Is anyone else out there using it? If so, what is it like?

Cheers,

Mowaah

Wow, looking at the demo it actually looks better than bristol. You can choose subjects from each category within a subject rather than just searching key words. And it's cheaper at £30 for 100 days rather than £50.

7000 questions tough, is that about the same as Bristol? it feels like Bristol has more than that.

New Qb

I have just had a go at it and it looks pretty good.........however saying that it looks identical to the Bristol one that I used which was a TOTAL lifesaver

On the mock exam that I did I saw a lot of questions that I remembered from the Bristol one.....

Good luck to all you guys and gals out there that will be sitting the exam soon

Looks good from the demo. Very good actually but in reality does anyone know how it really compares with Bristol's OLQB one?

Bristol is well proven and is cheap for the results it helps yield.

My Bristol subscription ran out last week so I took the plunge and signed up for this last night, and it is spot on so far. The fact that the question bank is divided up into subject areas is great and is something that I always thought was lacking with Bristol.
U can also put any problem questions on a clipboard and save them to retake later, which saves from copying down individual question IDs and putting them into the form like you have to with Bristol, plus Ive not come across any mistakes and repeated questions yet, of which Bristol has many.
As for the numbers of questions:
Pof: 585
agk: 651
Mass and bal: 213
performance: 366
instruments: 541
radio nav: 374
OPs: 410
Flight planning: 534
gen nav: 557
met: 1013
Air law: 532
Hpl: 912
Ifr coms: 118
vfr: comms: 119
