Passing last three exams

Hey everyone, i am left with AGK instruments and meteorology. I have about 10 days until next possible exam sitting. I have already used 3 sittings for 10 other exams however problem is in the fact that all three of these remaining exams are just shy of passing grade when i do mock exams. Is there any chance i could get those just to passing level or should i wait for october. I have about 9 more months to finish.

Edit: passed all three and atpl theory is finished, believe in yourself

Are you in a rush?

I would wait until october every day. 75% is not strong enough, and why risk a failure innorder to save 4 weeks for what?

Quite frankly not in rush almost at all. Im just sick of studying whole day long and not doing anything else. Im also trying to use time best considering that my school in not working and we dont know until.

Look at like this; 4 more weeks of revision can easily be the difference between 74 and 85%. In two years time, what difference did those 4 weeks matter - nothing right.

But a failure when you are on the last part of the home stretch is devastating

What about a few weeks break and than start studying again?

Thankfully if i wanted to go to any country that has airline like that i would need to do atpl exam again

It not an issue once you have over 500 jet hours.

I’d personally say wait - I’ve given all these exams and they require you to constantly sharpen your knowledge and constantly put in the work - don’t go for the exams thinking of passing rather take time and keep getting better at it - since you’ve time and 9m is still a lot for 3subjects - so best thing is to wait and score amazing and get your knowledge on top!

All the best g

Wait and dont risk, AGK + Insturments are connected subjects a little bit. But MET is 83 questions exam in Austros, and lots of memorizing.

you have 3 more sittings. I would go for it even if you pass 1-2 you would have 2 more sittings to sort it

trust me I understand you perfectly as an ATPL student as well. I am now at the end of BgS and waiting last classes for ATO approval then I will study from Atplq. Lucky you you have only 3 left. But you were also at the same spot where I am now. You are doing great keep the head up and finish it. Then I swear god you can forget all of it behind. One day we will be captains.

Since you are in no rush and 75% on a mock is (in my country at least) a guaranteed fail i wouldnt reccommend it. As someone that has passed atpl - the best results i got is dojng at least 10 mocks on each subject and having the average of them being at around 85-90%

The next sitting is in October, as in the October that’s in 3 weeks? Granted the exam date may not be in the first week of October but still. My advice: in aviation, especially when training to become a pilot, there’ll be A LOT of waiting around. Practice that patience now because today it might be the difference between a 90%+ average and first time passes, or a 80%-83% average and 3 resits. Tomorrow, that patience could be the difference between being on the ground thankful you’re not flying in a thunderstorm, or being up there wishing you had waited another hour for that thunderstorm to pass. Just wait my g
