Just finished all of my CPL exams; coming out at the end with a 90% average I was pretty pleased with that after a lot of hard work.

Nice, got any tips?
Just started my theory in Law and Human Factors. Have PPL and CPL exams in a few weeks. Just reading over the material and from the practice exams I'm pretty confident.
Was the tests easier than you anticipated?

Any study tips your can recommend other than rtfq? haha.

Study up on the dictionary and thesaurus too, ASL are known for making any exam into a comprehension test. They have used some really obscure words in some of my exams. If they do that to you, leave a comment complaining. It's not supposed to be an English exam!

Are you self studying them or going to lectures?

Definitely RTFQ, RTFA and if so, RTFI (instructions)

As pointed out above, ASL like to word things very strangely; so if this occurs, you can only go back over the question and think hard an clear about what they are wanting to know. Hopefully it will make sense and correspond to an answer.

Also, draw diagrams to help you visualise the question. In most exams you will have plenty of time; take that and draw pictures, graphs, etc, anything that could help you clear things up.

Good luck!

My advice for the CPL exams (the computer ones) is to mark questions that you aren't 100% sure on. If you're sure its the answer, select it and move on. If you're only 99% sure select what you think and mark it for review. I believe it helped me a lot of CPL and ATPL exams.

Cheers guys, I have my PPL exams this Friday and CPL after the weekend. PPL should give me a good indication of what ASL exams are like.

I'm in a classroom environment and there's a lot of QnA and practice tests, so keeping well on top of things. Self study seems like a nightmare.

Self study is doable but you do have to be very dedicated, and while it certainly helps that most people studying aviation exams have a very keen interest in the subject there is still plenty of pretty dry stuff in there! Classroom study is definitely much easier in that you have a constant drive to actually get the work done instead of falling into procrastination mode.

CPL Flight Test tomorrow! Hoping for an awesome Christmas. Max Rate turns are a struggle though, the tolerances are sooo small!!

by **benwynn** » Thu Dec 20, 2012 10:22 pm

All the best with that huff3r. An instructor at my school told me that once your max-rate turns are at their worst, you're ready for your test. All seems to come together on the day.

Kia ora folks!

- First time poster on the forums -

I am about to sit all six CPL ground modules, following two intensive months of self-study.

Is there any way to evaluate how 'ready' you are through sample exam papers (not necessarily ASL material) or a website that would be dedicated to NZ CPL theory preparation please? Just trying to get the feel of the format before sitting the real exam...

Thanks for your help!

None that I know of, the first exam is always a bit of an eye opener. I found that the sample exams wern't really that accurate. It might be different now though. When I sat them, the biggest thing was interpreting the questions and finding the 'most correct' answer. Good luck.

Quite right, and it's been mentioned elsewhere that the ''ASL wording'' can frequently be subject to interpretation, hence my worry.

Such a shame there aren't more resources available online though.

Biggest advise I can give is to RTFQ x2 and go with your first answer.
