Results Today! (27th April)

So, we didn't receive our results on the proposed date as the Civil Aviation Authority and their technology had a fall out and we have since been pondering when we will be obtaining our long awaited marks.

Well it seems as though they will be available today (27th) and I look forward to seeing how I got on.

AP321 started phase 2 today after a two week break and already I can tell it's going to be a very intense learning and memory game! I am sure it will test us harder than anything so far, so there's no better time to grab the bull by the horns and get stuck in again!

I shall keep you posted on results and go into greater detail regarding phase 2 and how it differs from phase 1, in the next post.

JAAs Done, Well Earned Break!

I have been home for over a week now, enjoying my free time, which in my opinion was well earned.
The JAA exams finished on the 7th April and went (without jinxing it) as well as I could have hoped, bar a few horrible questions.

I get my results on Thursday (21st April) and am excited and nervous to hear the result of weeks and weeks of tedious study and effort.

I will update this on Thursday once I have my results, whether they be good or unexpectedly bad!
Good luck to all of AP321, I'm sure we've smashed it

Speak soon

School Finals Done, JAA Exams Start Tomorrow....

I was unbelievably happy with my 93% average I achieved in School Final exams. Trying to maintain the same level of effort to revise for the CAA regulated exams, 'JAA exams', which commence tomorrow (4th April), required some serious motivation! My exams start with Theory of Flight and that is closely followed by the AGK (Aircraft General Knowledge) Systems exam, then the rest of my timetable is:

Tuesday - Instruments
Wednesday - Meteorology
Thursday - Human Performance
                  VFR Comms
                   IFR Comms

I have been using a certain well known resource (an online question bank called Bristol) to revise. However pleasant a way that sounds to revise, staring at the same screen for up to 12 hours each day for ten days, can get rather monotonous.

Anyway, bring it on this week, I think I am prepared as best as possible - at least I hope I am!

Sorry for not keeping your up to date recently but you will understand how busy I have been.  However, after Thursday, I will have plenty of time to update you as I get two weeks off after my exams.

Roll on Thursday night!
