The FAA written exams are a cakewalk . All you have to do is by heart the question bank and you can pass the exam very easily ( All the subjects are in one exam )
There is a reputation among Flight instructors in the U.S that Indian students are generally lazy , dont work hard and not interested in flying . They just come to get their license as soon as possible so that they can go back home to fly the big jets .
Am I the only one who sees the corelation between these two statements?
Just memorizing answers to "pass the exam" speaks very poorly of your attitude and interests.Sorry, but you won't go very far with that kind of a plan in mind.

We received close to a month of groundschool for both the PPL and IR written and CPL exams before our instructors would sign us off for it .
They would give us questions to solve that are not there in the question bank hence that would ensure that we knew what we were doing.
I am not sure how but I dont think you can memorise the mathematical problems or chart problems .

The ground exams conducted by FAA are pretty easy as compared to jaa/transport Canada/caa but the void is filled to an extent when we start studying for Indian dgca
as far as question banks are concerned one might cross over an exam with that but any decent airline interview panel will be able to identify that quickly except some thorough ones like Bristol/oxford where you need some strong concepts as you cant memorize 10,000 questions

Well pardon me to interfere b/w FAA Vs Other Regulator fight but i think thread starter just wanted to know few basic things to clear his already confused mind sensing he is dealing with DGCA exams and recency which can even make a monkey doing sit-ups infront of DGCA peons.
On the other note, Is it not enough to have ICAO CPL converted into DGCA CPL without considering the land from where we did our basic CPL training knowing that Airlines will eventually test us on different procedure's in the name of SIM Check where each and every harry will be filtered from various tom & dick.
This thread is going the same way just like few months ago one started with IGRUA Vs Other's.

Happens sometimes in certain threads
I am the one who created the previous thread IGRUA vs others but that was to divert it from the Jet Airways trainee F/O thread where a debate had began
In this thread it began with aircraft rental rates in Australia vs USA and how the original poster spend close to 40 lakhs to get his CPL
But i guess at the end of the day all that matter is whether or not you are employed / unemployed as a pilot

Rental rates are same all over the world with some addones like using GPS instruments or full glass cockpit or bare predated basic instruments from the era of 1960's even from 1950's if some one has flown original C-150's.
Only thing that increases rates of aircraft per hour is Instructor/Airport/Fuel surcharge.....
If someone goes for PPL & CPL with hour building on C-172 then it will cost huge with topping of minimum CPL requirement hours being more than other regulators requirements.
I say this cost escalation as " Bad Cost Management for CPL " when same can be done in half or even less then that.
I can say with real experience that life of employed pilot is pathetic than unemployed ones.
