ATPL written study hours?
Hi all,
I am just about to start on my JAA ATPL writtens (Bristol GS) and will be studying at home. Just converting the garage to a child free office space first!
I am hoping to study for about 4-5 hours a day but have heard 3 is about all that can be absorbed. Any thoughts?

I did the full time course at OATS and found that after studying all day in the classroom, all I could manage was three one hour sessions broken by a 1/4 hour break after each hour. I worked from 5 p.m. until 8.45 p.m., then kicked back, relaxed , ate and had 2 drinks each night.
That way I found worked. I passed all the Tech and Nav exams first time. It drew a nice line under a days study to be able to wind down in front of the tv.
Good luck, and dont over do it!!

I think any educational professional with a bit of common sense will agree that 4-5 hours after a full 9-5 day's study is too much. Ricky, I doubt you were taking in much after 2-3 hours in the evening. Tailscrape's system is much more sensible, especially if combined with a good study plan. This will avoid over-concentrating on one subject - remember, you have to pass them all!
