Exams are over, for now!

Exams are finished, beer has been consumed and everyone is feeling a lot happier than 12 hours ago. Three months have passed incredibly quickly, which I personally see as a good thing as it means we are three months closer to our rather exciting trip to New Zealand.  It's nice that the exams are now out the way for a few much needed days of relaxation. But a few days is just that, as we are back in the classroom on Tuesday to start the process all over again. According to instructors and previous cadets the next set of topics are much more practical and a little less daunting. We shall see!

Now for a little bit of what the exams entail for those of you that are interested. All of the exams are multiple choice with some exams as few as 24 questions in half an hour to some with as many as 80 in two hours. The timing for the exams is perfectly reasonable as after much practice on the question bank, we soon find ourselves getting through questions rather quickly. The CAA like to catch us out and you can soon find yourself making stupid mistakes, and with a pass mark of 75% there isn't much margin for error! The exams this week havn't been too bad. There were a couple of tricky questions here and there but for the most part, with effective preparation, there wasn't anything too troubling. I now want to forget those for the time being and focus on relaxing. Results should arrive in a couple of weeks and there isn't anything I can do about them now. It, however, is a strange feeling now having to deal with life without four possible options. Give any of us four possible answers and I'm sure we could pick out the correct one. For now though, I'm going to unwind properly and enjoy the time off.

As ever questions about the training, selection, CTC etc are more than welcome. I know a few of you are probably wanting to ask a few things prior to the British Airways FPP opening on Monday. I know I'm on the easyJet MPL but the skills required during selection are fairly common across airlines and the ground-school training is the same.
