You are going to get so much gouge you won't be able to process it all. There is a 'bank' of questions that the Check Airman are supposed to be drawing from but your mileage may vary on that. In any case, you will be very well prepped.

- how was the systems test? Tough or relatively straight forward after 2 weeks of CBTs?
Systems test was very straightforward, again you will be very well prepped if you put in the study time.

- are there any instructors around to answer questions while you do the CBTs?
If you decide to go over to the training center during normal hours there are always instructors around who can help.

- was there much reading to do each night?
Kind of up to you, but I would definitely recommend reading everything in the manuals that was covered in the CBTs to strengthen your knowledge. You'll also have to do some reading to prep for the sims, of course.

Thanks!
