How good are keith williams' Q & A for JAR ATPL books?
How good are these books? Has anyone used them? Do they have most of the questions that frequently come up in the exams? Would it be possible to learn the questions in these books and then take the exams?
Also does anyone know the difference between the Q&A books and the practice exam papers?? I would have thought both would have contained the same material???
Seeing my budget is tight which ones would be best to buy- the 1000 question books or the practice exam papers? I'm confused!!!
Cheers,
Kapooley

Kapooley,
I was wondering about the Keith Williams folders as well. Did a search on the website for references to them, and they were well spoken of, so went ahead and bought the four folders of 1000's Q's and answers....
I got Aircraft Performance, Aircraft General Knowledge, Principles of Flight, and Instruments...
YES, it does cost a lot...(Around £140) but having read through each of them, I would definitely buy them again.
I like them because, as the titles suggest, there are a lot of sample questions. Now, go to the answers section and you will find in each case a lengthy explanation of why the answer was a, or b,c,d, whatever.
This in my case has helped me understand areas of knowledge more thoroughly.
BTW I am using these books as an adjunct to my groundschool coursework. Be careful of the "Would it be possible to learn the questions in these books and then take the exams?" outlook.
I am thinking about the balance between these books making the difference between a resit and a pass. A lot of people think about a resit in financial terms; just stop and think about the extra stress and inconvenience if you are to fail by a small margin.
Keith Williams stuff seems to concentrate on the technical side of things, but I have bought other textbooks to support the other subjects in my course, and will continue to do so.
I hope this helps you.
J-H.
