The second is at the end of the second week and covers the General Operational Subjects (GOS). Another 50-question, multiple choice, open book, open note test.
After you return for systems after the two weeks of home study on the iPad, on that Thursday (assuming you start Monday), you will take a 100-question Systems Validation exam on the iPad. It is closed book, and you will take it in class. If you know the Review Questions in Chapter 9 of the Supplemental Study Guide down cold, you will do very well on this test. That said, take the systems week seriously. It's a great opportunity to bring a lot of the concepts together, and I think that week is an extremely effective time for the different things you've been studying to start coalescing.
The SV exam "is" the "oral". Most AQP implementations have you do it with an examiner, who can only use an approved question bank for the questions. Good to see FAA has approved a full iPad method for it.
