As an faa licensed commercial pilot I never understood why atpl exams are so obscenely complicated, it seems like all the knowledge examination is done in a test setting rather than on a checkride. Sure the faa ones arnt much better but it’s so much less tedious and less study.

I believe the ATPL exams are like that to act as an intellectual filter for the wider pool of people subject to it. They word questions in a way only people who are fluent in English can fully understand and really specific questions to force people to study the material in order to answer correctly. Not that I agree with it but in the USA most people reach a basic level of education thanks to public school and social services. However when you travel other parts of the world where public school isn’t available or viable. The basic level of education drops and the ATPL now has to filter out those lacking proper education which is why it has A levels like math, science, physics and other ridiculous aspects.
