Ground School Blues
Hi All,
More of a armchair ppruner and don't usually feel the urge to post. But Im half way through my ground school and today have hit a brick wall in terms of revision. Nothing is going in and I'm not being productive in front of my books. With exams 3 weeks away, is this usual? What are your remedies to such mental blocks.? Thank You chaps/:confused: |
Been there, done that!
Just try to keep up with the good work. It will cost you more effort now than ever, but it's well worth it! :ok: By the way, it is called "Learning plateu". It's a common "side effect" to all the studying and learning! Cheers, TG. |
Beer is the answer!!
I think every one goes thru the same feeling, making stupid mistakes, nothing going in, some things sound like a complete new subject that you have never seen before..
I remember around the same time before our exams, we were full time class, a few of us took a night away from books and went out on the lash in Bournemouth, the break did us the world of good...a good laugh a few beers and not a mention of anything ATPL related just beer, ladies and kebabs:ok: |
:) haha @ the birds and kebabs.
Yeah feeling better already, went to the local and downed a couple. Not sure i'll make the first lecture tomorrow though. Great Success. Nice one. |
I would agree with the other posters. Have a night away from the books, and maybe even the next day( basically go and get drunk with the lads/ladies and love the hangover the next day). I did a "few" times in GS and it paid off for me :-D. J
ps. if my grammar is crap, blame the beer. :} |
Bobster, what do you mean you went out on the lash just before exams? As I remember it you were out on the lash most of the time, the local has gone bust since you left ( after taking the piss I must add he passed all his exams!) Anyway yeh I remember that feeling of blind panic about 3 weeks before the exams especially flight planning, dont worry work hard then take a bit of time just before to chill and it will all come right when it counts.:ok:
|
I know the feeling. You need a break. Take a day off and do something TOTALLY different, that doesn't involve flying at all. I was getting stressed during my IR and it was all really getting on top of me so I took a day off, went into London with a mate and just had fun. Didn't think about flying once. I came back totally refreshed and feeling ready to take on the dreaded IR :D

I was not going to mention every night as I did not want to be blamed if the Flying Rasta copied my strategy and it didnt work for him/her..:ok: |
Actually my man, I did follow your strategy for a bit and suddenly realised two things were suffering. My looks and the sleep of my fellow house mates, personally thats not much to lose.
I took yday and today off, worked wonders. :p :D |
