If you can simply pay attention in class and give them 100% of your effort you will get through training. Cut corners, don't study, and go home every weekend (or more) and you'll probably struggle.
Hell a November class on the CRJ had 7 initial SV ground school failures. I think 5 passed the second attempt to keep going. These guys are putting their careers on the line because they read a gouge from their friend and trust it 100%. Then they change the written test and the failures sky rocket....when it's all the same systems!
Not sure what's up with all the recent ERJ failures but I can't imagine the quality of training is drastically different. Skywest wants you to pass. Could have had a bad patch of students honestly.
