Bristol QB and Keith Williams CD - What the difference?

Hi All,

Anyone tried both of these questions banks?

If so can you tell me what the difference is, specifically for consolidating your studies and preparing you for the exams?

Keith Williams CD is quite attractive as you don't need to be on-line. His explainations seems to be quite good. Also there is the price difference!

Many thanks.

Bristol - best for the most up-do-date questions out there. You will rarely see the latest questions in Keith's CD. In my (and most other users I presume) opinion you should not ignore Bristol QB

Keith - good for the explanations. I used it as a back up to Bristol - when I spotted the same questions the explanations were valuable. Also very useful in understanding the basic principles, which you will not really be able to do just by looking at the questions and the answers

Someone off the street with a good memory can pass the ATPL exams if they studied only the Bristol QB. I read the books and studied the questions, which is the correct way to do it.

However you get my point!

I used exclusively Keith's CD to study Radionav, General Nav and Airlaw and I appreciated his explanations a lot. It's clear, complete, detailed and very well done.

I do recommend it.

Thanks everyone,

As I couldn't decide I've been using both for the last few days for GNAV and have only found one question that's in the Bristol QB and not in Keith Williams CD. It may be there, but that is one negative about KW's CD, it doesn't have a good search function, althoug they are split into subjects areas which does help a little.

I must say though, KW's CD does win when it comes to the explainations and calculations.

Furthermore you pay once for the CD and it's yours to use when you want and cheaper than Bristols.

I guess though with Bristol they are constantly looking at and updating the question structure etc, but you only need then for a year or even less.

Thanks once again.

For Keith William's CD, you'll need to PM or email him to get the CD and password. Each time you install the cd on a new computer, the password must be changed. And when your own computer undergoes major changes in configuration or in Microsoft Office version, the password has to be changed too.
I will give you Keith's email address in PM.

Good day,
M.
