Make sure you know your profiles, memory items and limitations cold. 121 training is fast paced.

Good luck and study!
I don't disagree with being prepared. However part of being prepared is being properly taught. Me and my csi partner made it through 5 days of csi-ops and NEVER once "chair flew"one of the flight plans. FMS labs where much the same. A guy moving a mouse around saying click here is not training.
However, again I agree with you that when in the sim it is time to man up and just do it. I felt very unprepared when I got to the sim, but I did not quit! I worked my way through it!
