You and everyone else, dont sweat it. Just stay engaged in class and everything will fall into place. I dont know if its still done but every night you get a packet of homework to do. Its not mandatory but I HIGHLY recommend it. Let the homework be your guide. I know you feel the need to get started studying right this minute but dont do any more than youre told at this point. Not good to show up to class burned out or worse have studied something incorrectly and have to battle with the law of primacy.
As far as the sim goes itll be a lot like flying a traffic pattern. The better you are at memorizing your call outs and flows before you start CPT, the more time youll have in the sim for approaches and other work.
