Quite a few of the guys on here helped me get an idea of the Saab oral, and if it takes more than 1hr..... well...... if you know your stuff it won't ... memory items and limitations are soooooo important... Know them better than your significant others body. Also, know what the limitation means, how to apply it, etc... which will come from training.
I respectfully disagree. Everyone said this going in to training. But, when it came down to it, I was able to study way more efficiently by myself. It may have just been the people in my class, but every study session turned into elongated discussions on the most irrelevant parts of the ops manuals. I studied way more efficiently by myself. I would then go hang out while others were studying in a group and find I was able to cover more than them. Everyone has different learning styles.
