I don’t understand the issue.
Schools that host the ATPL exams have for many years had question feedback forms directly outside the exam rooms that were/are used by applicants to reproduce the questions from memory and those then go into their own subscription based QB and debated over and over both on line and offline…or did I misunderstand something?
Practising exam techniques using questions, which closely match the type found in the actual exam, is very legitimate preparation.
I am not surprised that the feedback on the failed questions is not helpful, as mentioned here before there are no LOs, there are simple headings with no real detail at all. I have spent over 900 hrs over the last 7 months figuring out what possibly should and should not be included under the LO headings.
Very bizarre way of assessing knowledge acquisition IMVHO.
I certainly would never advocate any form of cheating, if that’s the approach that some are taking then there is a wider discussion on the potential pilot’s personality type and potential rulebreaking in other areas of their flying, which could lead to more serious safety consequences.
What always makes me chuckle is those that offer week long zero-to-hero courses that result in 9 eExam passes. I am completely convinced the material cannot be properly presented and absorbed in a week it takes at least 100hrs + exam prep. and actual eExams to give it the proper focus that PPL ground school deserves. I always note these course always make sure that the blurb says the student should conduct
