Took the B757 Capt exam, and got a surprising number of the “calculation” questions wrong using the provided charts and info. Had the same people with the B737 exam as well, and I stood corrected on a lot of them, I’m frustrated that the questions are not clearer and there’s multiple “right” answers.

I got 8 wrong on the 757 exam and 5 of them were “wrong” using the handbook or test data, two of them were wrong using actual math, one was just plain wrong.

Guess I have to wait 24 hours to “guesstimate” my way through another exam lol

I've sent you an email with a detailed explanation. Please take look at that.

For others... Please take look at the Flight Simulator Encyclopedia for all of the math questions. The Encyclopedia can be found in the Pilot Center -> Document Library.
