OK to use ATPL material for PPL theory?

Do you think it would be OK to use ATPL books to study for PPL theory?

I have PPL theory books, but thought this would make it easier for when I study ATPL theory.

Thank you.

Pilatus PC12-NG (2016) rating

Just out of interest, does anyone know of good schools for a PC12-NG type rating. Particularly in the UK or Europe.

If you've passed the 7 PPL theory exams, how much of a help will that be towards understanding the ATPL theory?

Continuing on the roster theme, a quick Q if I may:

What is a typical two-week like roster for a new FO?

After line training is completed that is.

Class 1 blood tests (CAA Gatwick)

I believe they test for haemoglobin, and I just want to confirm that's still the case and no other routing tests? I do get lost in all that EASA literature, so boring. Thank you in advance.

You can obviously get a PPL with a class 2 medical, but I'm confused about whether you need a Class 1 to go on and get a MEPR or IR?

Any ideas please ... ?
