Back in the day you used to have to know stuff like this. I know a guy who failed an oral because he didn't know the volume of the lav trash bin and how much potable water the tank held. Not even kidding. You had to know about 40 different dimensions on the air frame, how many static wicks, vortex vanes, etc. But those days are long gone.

Attitude is 90% of airline training. Most training programs will work with you as much as you need...provided you have a good attitude. If the instructor is constantly riding you and your partner and being overly negative, get a new instructor. If it's only you who is constantly butting heads with the instructor, look inwards and knock that s*&t off! It can't be stated enough, cooperate-graduate! If you need help, ask!
Good luck!
Good advice.
