They gave him every opportunity and worked one on one with him but in the end he resigned. Once again the training at PSA was harder than the training that I received at Colgan. But I was more prepared for the line at PSA than 9L. If you study, are willing to stay after your CBT's and go to the paper tigers and do flows and get ready for the next day you wont have a problem. They are not out to fail you, but they are not there to hold your hand. You have 24/7 access to the training center and there are some days you may be there from 8 AM to 8PM going over things and doing things to be ready for the next day.
Sounds as if dedication and preparation count a lot toward getting through it. I guess in some cases it just boils down to how bad you want to succeed at it. I guess I am of the mindset that you shouldn't be scared of it but rather you should just make up your mind that you're going to get through it and be willing to do whatever it takes to do so. Thanks, bradeku, for the advice. Keep it coming. For those who have read previous posts....I have the CRJ Oral study guide that has been mentioned in this thread. I would recommend getting it. It's a little dry at first and seems like a waste of time but once you get the terminologies and acronyms down, it gets easier. Good luck to all.
