Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: CPL-H Meteorology advice ?!?!
I passed MET first time 2 months ago.
Not sure what your using for content but I found it be pretty broad on all internal topics. Know you’re icing conditions, cloud types, Thunderstorms/ microbursts, fog formation, air mass/ fronts.
Really know tou’re TAF/ GPWT’s, if you have done NAV and law you wont have a problem.
I found it be one of the more easier exams out of all 7.
Im also doing my final exam on the 8th .
Good luck on friday!

Agreed CMET is one of the easier of the 7. I got 94% in 20 minutes and a guy from my flight school just got 98%. I'd be willing to bet that it hasn't changed a great deal in 20 years as it felt like it was taken directly from a combination of Bob Tait's textbook and the BOM aviation book.
Hot tips:
1. The operational met side of it is probably 50% or more (as it should be) so be squared away on your TAFs, GAFs, GPWTs etc;
2. Use your charts to figure out exactly where the aerodrome they're talking about is. You'll need them to correlate the landforms on the chart to the GPWT in order to figure out which box you're actually reading from.
3. It's all fun and games doing practice exams on paper. Remember though that everything in a PEXO exam is presented on a computer screen...
4. If you can't read the sh*tty little picture they've given you, have a closer look and there will probably be a tab you can open kinda like an attachment on an email.
5. Read the MOS section on CMET. Chances are: if there's something listed on there you don't know about, it'll be on the exam.
6. CASA has a hard-on for screwing over the clowns out there pushing rote learning through practice exam websites. Their way around them is to change up the wording and delve a little deeper. Instead of just learning questions and answers, the key with MET (and any other CASA exam) is therefore to constantly ask yourself: Why & How? For example: why and how are pressure height and density altitude different? Why and how does rime ice occur in some cloud formations and not others? Constantly ask yourself that with each new topic and you'll end up with the depth of understanding CASA is looking for in an exam worthy of someone about to be qualified as pilot in command of paying passengers.
7. Aviation is about the little details. Plurals don't have apostrophes. They're, their, and there are different things and grammar is the difference between knowing your sh*t, and knowing you're sh*t. It's also the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse, and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

Thanks skyjynx80 and RePLCPLH
I have sat Met once before, but that was in 2016 I think it was. 54%, so I am just a little anxious. I really just want to have it done and dusted so I can get back to Flying.

I doubt MET has changed at all since 2016 other than the ARFOR change.

Bloody good post and funny. Well done! This is what Bladeslapper is about, helping each other out and having a laugh along the way, like an online pub. I'll have a pint of Guiness.
