Waiting to hear back from AFCO about a medical issue just now, hopefully it will be ok and I can get a PRMC sorted and get going, its frustrating having to wait for the nod from the Doc though.

As they say, if you get stuck, leave it and move onto the next. I found i spent too much time worrying about the harder questions at beginning of the test, only to find out that the last few questions were piss easy! :o

well it all started at 5.30am i got up and went after 2 hours sleep so that didnt help and traveled 1 1/2 hours to get there so good start lol

anyway they take you to the testing room obviously and you have to do for multiple choice 30 Q tests

now the first two i didnt finish all my Qs so the last two tests when i got to a question i didnt understand i skipped it and carryed on and when i reached the end i found i had enough time to go back and answer them and i could think clearer as i had answered most of them all ready

i spent alot of the time the night before and the train journey to the AFCO doing Math questions like 15 or so, long division and same dividing and so on ...

i think this helped as it wakes your brain up a bit

so i guess the best i can tell you is study before and practice, use your spare time to your advantage.

good luck and i can tell you now your going to get nervous but it feels so good when you pass and you know that your getting somewere.

PRACTICE!!!! AND GET SOME SLEEP
