He/she is going to start off with limitations and memory items. Knock those out and then you move on to EWBS, TPS, and MEL. EWBS and TPS is straight forward- what is this number? What does this mean? Do you need to do a static takeoff? Then you get into takeoff situations and they may ask about taking off when wind shear has been reported or TS is in the area. Then he is going to sit you down in front of the paper tiger and ask you what happens when you select and deselect each button. They are all fair game so know what each does. Know the first flight of the day checks because you will get at least 2. Study and know your stuff and learn how to say it right. Most like it if you say it cleanly instead of fumbling your way through an answer you actually know. At this point they will hit all the systems and first comes Electric because it's on panel A.
Read all the systems sections in AOM1/2 and read through a lot of the QRH checklist information. Good luck.
Is your initial AQP for the 145? What you are describing is nothing like I went through at PDT. Just asking because I like to benchmark these things...
