UEXCEL Weather and Climate - learflyer - 02-25-2019

Has anyone taken this one lately?  So far i'm using one of the recommended texts Understanding Weather And Climate.  I'm also using study.com.  I have a bit of meteorology understanding being in the aviation industry.  I'm about 70 pages in to the textbook and basically enjoying it so far.

Thanks.

I took this today.  I read the book last year when I took the exam then (failed) and skimmed the book and watched all of study.com to prepare to take it again.  I found this test difficult, even with the reading and the watching.  The practice exams, as far as difficulty, are very close to the actual exams but don't have the same questions.

I passed today with a C.  To be fair though I am not great at math and science doesn't interest me.  I think if you're reading the book, using study.com, and have an interest/some prior knowledge will be a great boon.  I'm sure you'll do fine. Big Grin  Best of luck!!!
