I don't see the written exam tests as the SAT. To me the only point of
taking the test is to pass. The grade is irrelevant. Heck, when I took
my PAR, I remember skipping questions because I just didn't want to do
them. They were mostly those calculating problems that use the E6B which
I knew how to do, I just didn't see the point in laboring over the
problem, when i could have as easily skipped it. I must have did this a
lot, as you all know I came close to not passing. Now, mind you, if I
was in the air, I would have done the calculation without second
thought. It's all about putting the effort where it belongs.

Now we know where the problem lies.
It's you attitude.
You don't understand how skipping one little item can affect the outcome
of your flight.
Have you ever heard the saying, "An accident is a string of broken links
in a chain of events. Stop the breaks at the earliest possile
opportunity and the accident will be prevented."
There are so many scenarios I could present based on what you have
written that I don't know where to begin.
