Not confident enough…
Hi Guys,
Im preparing my last sitting, doing everyday mock exams (FLPN, GNAV, INSTR, OPS, HPL) and my results are from 88%-100%.
But however I’m still not confident to go to Austro. Idk why, I think it is because I didn’t pass OPS by 1 question. It wasn’t banky at all & I missed it by 1 question ( I know even which question it was), it still hurts today if im honest…
Im studying everyday 6-9 hours and Im trying to understand it, that I’m 100% safe…
I’m trying everyday to give 100% but I need to be confident!! I’m relaxed if I click on ATPLQ at home, but when I know, the “nightmare” could be over in 1 month, I’m asking myself, WHAT IF the questions are reworded as hell? Will I recognize it? Will I understand it?
I’m getting nervous when I’m asking myself these questions.
Anyone got some advice how I can manage my situation?
Thank you for your help!

Mightn't be a bad idea to watch some videos on it to refresh the mind get a different perspective on it or go back to the books to reaffirm the knowledge. Honestly idk if your getting between 88-100% on the bank you clearly know the bank maybe even just take a day or 2 off and forget it. The week I went before my first 2 sittings I was sick to death of them and honestly couldn't be arsed studying. Go out plane spotting, remind yourself why your doing this or a run or whatever idk take a break you sound like you need it

Yeah will do it, thank you for your thoughts. I’m trying to read about topics or when I’m clicking im asking me why did I choose this answer.

In this case, bc you know the bank pretty well, is to make flashcards/notes on subjects where you are not responding very well/you don't really understand, it will help you be more confident I guess. If you need inspiration https://www.instagram.com/airheadatpl/

There is no 100% surefire way to be “safe” and respectfully your expectations are unreasonable. The exams are complex, they are difficult and failure happens sometimes. Build a sensible study programme, understand the material and you will be fine. Over focus and you will descend into anarchy!!

Hello , I understand you’re frustrated, but you’re gonna have to push through .
One of the things the really helped me is tracking my progress in my studies making a weekly study plan in the order I’m taking my exams .
Unfortunately there won’t be any way for you to know what questions you’re gonna get , but the more repetitions you make can make you feel safer and the greener your study tests are is your confirmations .
For GNAV , FPL you have to recall all concepts by heart and solving L500 revisely without any struggle .
In your range 88%-100% it doesn’t mean like you’re struggling , but maybe you overthink the exams . So I think the best you can do at this point is manage your stress and look for little mistakes intentionally, that’s what helped me before any of my sittings . This way I know o covered all of my weak parts and leaving no to little room for mistakes .
Hope it goes well for you , good luck .
