Guys, there is no reason to fail anything. Especially the oral, but also the checkride. All of our instructors these days are true treasures. I really mean that...the few bad apples are gone. And our AQP program is very low stress. With that said, it is still your personal responsibility to study as much as possible. Don't take this time for granted...hit the books, sacrifice free time now and you will have a brilliant career ahead of you.

My advice for studying is to break it down into parts. Study one system thoroughly before moving on to the next one. My method on the ERJ was always to start with the Electric system and move right on the overhead panel. Then warnings, autopilot, radar/tcas last. Study each system at a time, quiz yourself...and then pretend you are teaching the system to someone else.
