Thank you.
The majority of the prep was the Bristol access. I borrowed the flight computer. The stupid things are about 80 euro over there! I bought a book on Met and some drawing tools as well. Other than that if I came across a subject area I didn't understand I googled it. Believe it or not there is always somebody out there that has the time, energy and ambition to write entire manuscripts on the tests. Good information if you want it.
Studying was intense. My wife was still in the States for the first 6 months so every spare moment was dedicated to the tests. Yes, it was about 90 days from the beginning of my studying to the final one of the 14 exams.
It can be done cheaply but you have to be persistent.
