In South Africa - the test for the GPL (Glider Pilot Licence) is given
in open book form. The student is given all the questions and then has to find the answers on his own - no time limit but usually takes a couple of weeks. It is amazing how many books one has to find and go through to complete the test. Some clubs organise courses to help the students get access to the material - and they might run the test in a closed book format. I feel that any test that involves cramming the answers is a waste of time - whilst the exercise involved in finding the answers on ones own is immensely more valuable as far more reading and thought work is involved. It is also fun and doesnt cause unnecessary stress, it is a sport after all. Clinton LAK 12
