I would be interested to know how long ago this was.. and in that statement there appears to be a implication that you were on the integrated course?

Zero to ATPL theory .. or zero to atpl theory plus CPL/ME/IR?

Anyway I got the oxford cbt's today so will crack on!

Good buy! You'll love them, like most people do, including myself, they are very well made! They will save you certainly some time, as compared to reading the textbooks - which you can sell now anyway!

I passed the ATPL exams in 6 sessions. Looking back, I made a lot of mistakes but managed to learn along the way. I studied while working full time with younger kids. It meant that I needed to squeeze in every moment I could use.

I used a combination of Computer Based Training, 2 question banks (which I started way too late), Youtube videos and summaries found online. I tried to study in the Oxford books, but I abandoned as the CBT worked well and was tracking the progress.

My key advices would be:

• Use spaced repetition
• Use multiple question banks
• Understand the way the exams are taken and what to expect
• MOST importantly: visualise the end goal. Passing the 14 exams seemed endless and I got through by keeping the eye on the finish line.

Good luck to all.

Basically NONE of the QBs are in line with the questions asked for the exams. Buy alot of different ones and get accustomed to the strange and non-english wording,grammar, phraseology used. In the FCL you can find the Learning Objectives which tell you how EASA define certain things (which at times, goes against reality) Alot of the questions are written by non-english speakers from easa countries and run thru Google translate it seems..

Remember, the ATPLs are merely a motivational hurdle to weed out the non-commited wannabes.. alot of this stuff I have never used in my 28 years of flying professionally.. #justsayin..
