You'll get an email about a month before the start of class. It's a link to the training crew room. There's only a couple of files in there to include the AFM. If you do a search you can find the same file online.
I studied everything I could get my hands on before the start of the class... It really didn't benefit too much. PlaneSense has a great training department and they'll teach you what you need to know.
What's the pressure in this line? Do we have any control or a gauge for it? Nope? Don't care and you shouldn't either.
You'll show up for class the first day and there'll be a folder with some paperwork and a paper binder with pen for taking notes. You seriously don't need to bring anything with you.
At the end of ground is a 85 question multiple choice test. Then at the end of sim there's a standard checkride. I think my oral was just over a hour and the flight was maybe 1.5 hours or so.
The entire length of training, not once was there a situation where there was a trick question or someone was trying to fool me in to something simple. Everything is straight forward.
