I have heard that the Bob Tait book doesnt cover it as well as it could. Friend of a friend just sat the CPL chuf exam and failed it even after reading all the TEM stuff in the bob tait book. So no clue I am studying ATPL chuf atm and have been given a copy of the updated bob tait theory on it but am not relying on it. And have little to no idea on what else I should read. Apparently a good dozen questions on the exam are on TEM. So I'm gona at the very least try get 100% on all the other stuff as I am not expecting to score well in TEM.

I did the commercial Human Factors exam today and passed with a decent score. I used the Bob Tait text and the CAAP and got 4 questions wrong, 1 of which was a TEM question. There were about 8 TEM questions all up off the top of my head. I think if you have a good read of both Bot Taits book and the CAAP it should give you enough knowledge to pass the exam. Sorry, can't comment on ATC books. Having said that, most of the TEM stuff seemed like common sense with fancy names attached.
Transport Pilot License (ATPL) written exam, so pilots can prepare for (or retake). Conservation Strategies, Human Factors and Dispatch Resource Management,. For all FAA/NAA Dispatcher Certification courses Jeppesen requires students to be able to read, write, and understand the English language and speak without accent.
The key is to try and remember what names apply to what common sense. Thats my 2c anyway. To all those who are undertaking flight training, it is important that you pass these exams; however, I get the feeling in some cases that this is just another tick in the box exercise. Without wishing to stand on a soap box, HF and TEM are not just about commonsense, because common sense in some instances is un-common. HF and TEM helps us identify those individual factors and influences that can affect our decision making and situational awareness. It is also about self assessment and willingness to learn from our mistakes and importantly our attitude and behaviour.
Those lucky enough to here Tony Kern who CASA brought out from the US will relate to how we should continuously be looking out for the mistakes we make and how we can address them. As others have said above, the addition of Threat and Error Management to the Human Factors exam really does require a firm understanding. For the future benefit of others who are about to sit this exam, ensure you: a) Are completely satisfied you understand Bob Tait's Human Performance and Limitations book. B) For what it's worth, ask Bob for a copy of his TEM notes if you haven't purchased the new book already. (ATC won't provide you with a free copy so don't bother) c) Get your hands on the Safety Behaviors kit available from the CASA Online store (you only pay for postage) This contains helpful information in regards to TEM and also has an extract from CAAP 5.59 Having said that, if you have a firm grasp of everything in the syllabus bar TEM, (and you're a little lucky) you should be able to pass regardless.
