Trust me it's not going through the Motions! My oral today was 2hrs done by a FAA examiner who do exams at 141 schools also. I don't think he had any mercy on me because I got my signoff in 28days and others he examine got theirs in 140days?? I got ALMOST
every question he asked me right. Not because I remembered it but because I knew it. I'd done it and I've read it over and over again for 280hours. It's not ROTE it's UNDERSTANDING, APPLICATION and CORRELATION!
