PPL Ground School EXAMS | 10 TIPS & TRICKS to pass FAST!

[@ethan.A3]

Your tips are spot on. Personally I did 4 exams one day and the next week on another day the other 5 and achieved an average mark of 92.1%. The biggest tip I was given “don’t stress” easy to say I know.

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thank you for the feedback Ethan. Great to hear you passed with flying colours.

[@darrenmarsh5269]

Couple of days to get through a Pooleys book. Haha jeez I wish. Great video

[@SMHSMU]

Awesome stuff. Dreading the law exam. I'll check out that app 👍

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thanks - you'll be fine, just do the revision!

[@SMHSMU]

@@FlyWithMarco those practice exams on the app will be a massive help. I'm only a few lessons in but I need to try and get the law exam out of the way before going solo etc. Then Nav. I paid the £20 to unlock them all. Thanks again

[@TheLexiMac]

Really love your videos, you keep things nice and simple and clear. Thanks and keep it up x

[@lucadph6447]

When should I start revising for PPL exams as I want to start flying later this year? Great video really helpful and already got the books and equipment.

[@FlyWithMarco]

Great to hear you found the video helpful. Good question - you could get a head start by reading the Pooley's books before you start - especially the first book! I would not try any practice exams until you start to fly.

[@IKillRoberterZz]

I wish I had started learning the books before starting the lessons!! I've done an intense practical course so now I'm behind on the exams side

[@axos0015]

Useful info but from what I,ve heard, the PPL tutor app is now out of date due to the new online exams the CAA introduced back in november. The app itself is incredibly useful, I passed air law with 96%. The practise exams are a major help mostly because they were the actual exam questions but again theres been an update to the exams. The answer is always C..... kinda good strategy for airport types but becareful, B,C and D are very similar.

[@FlyWithMarco]

That's interesting to know - I can imagine a lot will change as a result of Covid...

Hi I’m in the early stages of flight training. what is the most up to date study materials / Question database for completing (EASA) PPL Theory exams ? Deirdre, Ireland

[@a21npilot91]

I have my CAA exam in March and cannot combine preparation with practice due to poor weather conditions at the airfield. I am a bit stressed as I started my first Pooley's book (Flight Training) in September and finished only in November. Now I stuck on Air Law. But I try to start scheduling preparations to 3 hours a day to give me a chance of passing. App is good, I will pay for it once I am done with Air Law.

[@antjrice1]

This is a great time to remember, don’t stress. Learning is a circular process and it usually only comes together at the end. Don’t think, if you’ve given yourself 2 months to cover a course, you’re going to feel like half of it is nailed after a month. Learning and confidence is exponential 👍

[@thebloominglotus564]

I took airlaw last week. That app really helped and I used the AFE books. Same same

[@FlyWithMarco]

Great to hear!

[@thebloominglotus564]

@@FlyWithMarco Cheers brother. Exciting times. Onto Meteorology this weekend!

[@FlyWithMarco]

@@thebloominglotus564 Best of luck!

[@tomholmez12]

the new e-exams are bs i did 4 of them (the rest were paper) and each exam i got 1 or 2 questions that made little to no mention in the Pooley's APM

[@FlyWithMarco]

Yes I remember finding questions pop up that weren't in the book. That's why it's important to do the practice exams and make sure you're getting at least 80/85% each time - which gives you this small margin for error if a question like this pops up.

[@zoyamalik8961]

How different are the e-exams? I'm dreading the last two I have left: Navigation and Flight Planning because they'll be e-exams!

[@FlyWithMarco]

@@zoyamalik8961 I sat the exams before the e-exams, hopefully Tom can share his experiences!

[@tomholmez12]

@@zoyamalik8961 those two are two of the online ones i did, there were some very weird questions, the questions they asked weren't any more difficult, they were just ones where you pick a bit of information out of your brain and answer the question. on the nav exam the second to last question was asking about a specific type of satellite, GNSS to be specific, so if you didn't know it completely the chances are you would get it wrong. another question was on diversions, it was along the lines of "you divert 2 miles 60 degrees to the left, continue on for X miles then go back to original track by turning 60 degrees for two miles" and asking how long/distance it would be. basically drawing an equalateral triangle with sides of 2nm. I guessed it right in exam but didn't know how to do it after. s TLDR: they dont ask for harder info, it is just more applied

[@zoyamalik8961]

@@tomholmez12 Oh I understand. In the old exams most of the questions were quite similar if not the same to practice questions from the books or Ppltutor. Do you think this is still the case or have they changed the questions quite a bit? Thanks a ton for your reply as well!

[@higherlevellifts2086]

Hi Marco, which online store would you recommend buying my books and headsets from?

[@FlyWithMarco]

For headsets, I like Lightspeed. I think you can get these on Transair and Flightstore. Books the same!

[@aviatordube]

That receding airline joke killed me😂😂😂

[@FlyWithMarco]

Glad to hear you find my jokes amusing!

[@aviatordube]

@@FlyWithMarco i’m starting my lessons on the 30th in the uk. glad i found your channel for some help on what to expect. on your first lessons what did you do? we’re you allowed to land/to? did you do some communication with ATC? what was it like? Thanks

[@FlyWithMarco]

@@aviatordube Great to hear! I did most of those on my first lesson. It depends on the instructor and how you take to it. The instructor is expecting miracles on the first lesson - just enjoy it! Best of luck with your lessons.

[@Jonamk_off]

Us in Kenya they impose us to do 4 exams in 1 sitting...u cannot choose it's a must

[@archanamaurya3929]

Is this vedio is valid for any country sir im from india i want to ask u that how can i start my preparation for ppl exams after 10

[@archanamaurya3929]

Sir please reply

[@melissam8677]

nice joke ;) , this was the video I've been looking for a while I downloaded ppl tutor in march however I spent hours on it and slowly started losing interest but I think 10-20 min sessions of revision is what I should have been doing . do you think the AFE revision guides would also help instead of reading the whole of the pooles textbooks?

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thank you Melissa. My jokes have been getting progressively worse.. Great to hear you've found value from this video. I spent 10 minutes per day on PPL tutor and found this to be about right. I made sure to read the Pooleys book before. There's a lot of information in the books and it's hard to take it all in. I only read one of the AFE revision guides and didn't get that much from it. I found that the Pooley's books combined with PPL tutor gives you everything you need to pass your exams! I hope this helps.

[@helgass806]

Hi, thanks for your fab videos, I would like to ask about two things, the first is -> How many question + - is all together in PPL database exams (all subjects) is it over 1600? And the second question is -> My first language is Polish. Do I need to pass English ICAO level 4 as a first test? Thanks

[@FlyWithMarco]

Thank you. I don't know - ask your local flying school!

[@Ryan-wu4br]

Hi Marco, I’m starting my training soon. Are there 7 Pooleys books? And will they be all the books required to pass the exams?

[@FlyWithMarco]

I believe so. I recommend purchasing them. Also I used an app called PPL Tutor that helped! Best of luck.

[@Ryan-wu4br]

@@FlyWithMarco okay perfect thank you

[@JackCODYTeGod]

How long did it take you to obtain your PPL? Did you do all of it in England? I start my PPL journey in May :)

[@FlyWithMarco]

It took me about 3 months - I did it all at Leeds Bradford! Best of luck with your PPL journey.

[@JackCODYTeGod]

Is the question bank for the new ppl e-exams the same as the old paper ones

[@FlyWithMarco]

Hi Meesha - I'm not sure. Best to ask your flying school!

[@tomholmez12]

no, the questions are meant to test your knowledge more than the old, and with online exams the question banks can be far far bigger than the paper exams

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

Just wondering are the LAPL exams the same ? Also ,do you have to pass your "Air Law" exam before your first Solo?

[@FlyWithMarco]

I'm not sure about LAPL - I did PPL. Ask your flight instructor. I think it's air law and/or navigation before your first solo yes. Or I could be getting confused with solo navigation! Essentially, get ahead on your exams!

[@MrJpbmusic2005]

@@FlyWithMarco I haven't started yet the dam Covid has scuppered my plans ...maybe later this year but as regards the hourly requirement, its minimum 45 hours for PPL including 150 nm Cross Country ....the LAPL requirement is less stringent 30hrs and 80nm Cross Country with more restrictions on flying (VFR) ONLY....but there's no mention on exams..so I was wondering if the exam a were less also

[@dargonpheonixx8175]

I know this is way too late but it may help somebody else. The passing air law exam is not a legal requirement for your first solo but most schools will want you to have it done.

[@Bryanzebox]

Hi Marco, I have a question on the time of validity of the exam.. So I've passed all my exams. with the first one in Feb of 2019, and last one in November of 2019. Is the validity of the exam of 2 years from November 2019 or is it individually 2 years? Thank you!

[@FlyWithMarco]

Good to hear from you - I'm not sure. Ask your flight school/instructor!

[@jackwalters905]

That app is well out of date, don’t rely on it. May 2022.

What app do you recommend now

[@dariojob100]

Is mathematics also needed?

[@FlyWithMarco]

Yes - but nothing too difficult!

[@doomishere3162]

I am doing all the exams in 1 day is it a bad call ?

[@FlyWithMarco]

Wow - not sure I could do that! If you're great at exams, I guess it could be done. I booked 2 at a time which allowed me to focus on such areas.

[@jugandstack2653]

What exact text books should I get?

[@FlyWithMarco]

I believe it may have changed since I did the exams. Best to speak to your instructor.

[@solomoncarpenter6523]

What are the books you use?

[@FlyWithMarco]

I used the Pooley's books. You can buy the set on their website.

[@davemould8261]

Marco...if you already have passed ppl, would you consider selling the manuals....?? Thank you.

[@FlyWithMarco]

Unfortunately not - I like to review the material occasionally to refresh topics. There's lots of great information in these books. If you are looking for second hand books, have a look on eBay.
