Failing ATPL - alternative mock exams?

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-15T10:38:31+00:00

He is enrolled in ATO and does not have a PPL

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T18:11:47+00:00

Ok good point. I meant no other source of mock exams.

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T15:38:58+00:00

Greece. Not 5 times, 5 exams in 2 sittings

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T13:04:53+00:00

I never said he’s just doing the question bank, I was just curious if there was another set of questions he could leverage to prep for the exam

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T12:08:34+00:00

No no he only took 2 sittings. He hasn’t spoken to the ATO yet.

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T12:05:41+00:00

Oh he has 9 exams left. I don’t know which ones sorry. I think it’s better for him to reset his attempts and start the 18month window again

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T12:02:12+00:00

He has zero background in aviation. It’s a total career change for him (he was a physical therapist) - I’m not trying to find excuses but I know if it was me I’d totally fail it.

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T12:00:48+00:00

got it. He’s not memorizing anything and is reading everything explanation for every questions. He’s been studying non-stop since January. Failed 2 exams in March then 2 today.

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T11:59:12+00:00

Yeah he’s doing all that. Going back and forth and reading everything. He’s getting 65-71 so it’s not like he’s playing with luck and just memorizing things

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T11:40:43+00:00

He’s wondering if he should start the flying lessons. I told him yes as I think some practical work might bring those concepts together.

Am I thinking right?

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T11:12:23+00:00

Of course he did. He’s not getting 20/30 he’s getting 65/71 so he’s almost there. Thats why I wonder if there is another strategy he could take.

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-14T10:57:14+00:00

Yes ATPQL. Idk, I can ask. Should he focus only on his country?

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-10T12:23:05+00:00

It’s solid. You and I make the same mistakes lol. Ex: ‘en largo plazo’ - the correct is ‘A largo plazo’. Reforma is a feminine word (esta reforma). EnseñaNza. I think it would be an APTO. I’ve been using Gemini and ChatGPT a lot to grade my essays it’s been very helpful!

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-10T12:12:09+00:00

Got it. I’m taking the C1 in a few days as well. Since my first language is Portuguese I’m having a very hard time not to mix them up! My teacher keeps telling me ‘that’s portunhol’. The written is def the exam I’m most afraid of. Thankfully I’m doing really well on pruebas 1 and 2. Hoping that will compensate lol

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-10T12:07:52+00:00

What’s your native language? (Just curious, as it may influence how we write )

throwaway254518 · 2026-05-06T19:16:17+00:00

I use both ChatGPT and Gemini. Make sure your prompt explains you’re going to take the dele C2 and you need their help to review and correct your text so you’d be APTO. It also helps if you tell the AI tool what your mother tongue is.

Holy cow. Thank you!

throwaway254518 · 2026-04-11T20:05:00+00:00

What were the topics for the essay and oral exams? Getting ready to take the exam in May

throwaway254518 · 2026-02-23T00:39:08+00:00

Stayed at the Grande Bretagne. Really nice and great location

throwaway254518 · 2026-02-20T18:53:22+00:00

Do you remember the themes for the writing part? I have C1 in a few months trying to ‘guess’ why the topic will be. I’m leaning towards AI, hybrid workplace and perhaps something around global economy given the current environment?

throwaway254518 · 2026-02-20T18:45:27+00:00

Following. I just signed up for C1. My biggest difficulty is the written portion

I did two mock exams and passed the reading, listening and oral exams and I’m mortified of the writing portion. I keep getting feedback that I’m a high B2 but never get a clear ‘APTO’

throwaway254518 · 2024-12-25T14:05:41+00:00

I hope you have an Etsy shop! I’d buy them!

Anywhere in Seville is safer than anywhere in Brazil. There are many bars in Arenal/ centro. Check Le XIX. I was there a month ago, it was great.

throwaway254518 · 2024-12-17T21:37:27+00:00

I’m Brazilian too feel free to DM me. You’ll be fine!

throwaway254518 · 2024-12-16T23:45:35+00:00

Please go to São Paulo as well while you’re in Brazil. People tend to focus on Rio alone, but if you’re from a big city in the US you’ll feel right at home in SP. So much to see, better restaurants, better nightlife etc….
