First half of ATPL theoretical exams passed!

Last Thursday and Friday I took the official exams for the eight subjects we've been studying since last autumn and managed to pass them all on one go!

We had two consecutive days to do the exams and I chose to do Air Law, AGK Instruments, Human Performance & Limitations and both COM-subjects on the first day leaving General Navigation, Principles of Flight and Performance for the second day. The first day went quite fast since the subjects didn't involve a lot of calculations or complex problems, but rather just questions and answers you either remembered correctly or didn't. My second day of exams took much longer. I needed almost all of the time available to do the NAV and Performance subjects since they involved lots of calculations. Luckily I managed to handle the stress much better now than last time and didn't run out of time on any of the exams.

Eight exams passed, six more to go!

I'm happy with the results, although a few subjects like Performance and POF have gone a little better in the practice exams than they went now. However, there was also a few surprises like the 97% from Air Law, which was something I didn't expect after still being stuck in the 85% region on the day before, and getting 78% from the school exam..

In conclusion, this time around it feels like I've managed to learn from my mistakes. I studied much harder than last time when I took the CPL exams and I think it's thanks to the few failures that I now managed to get a better grip on things. In the CPL, the amount of work and motivation required came as a surprise to me but now I knew better what passing these exams with good scores actually takes. I think this is the case for many other students in my course too, since only two out of twelve passed the CPL exams first-time, but now in the ATPL course someone has yet to fail a single exam.

Now my current goal is to pass the remaining six exams on one go and would be very happy if my average score would start with a nine. So far it's looking good :)
