The advice on training is a given memory items and all that good stuff. I have a great gouge for Darin Carrol but here is a tip they didn't tell you. DO NOT STUDY GOUGES. They examinars are well aware that the Oct and Nov class only studied gouges. Those that only studied gouges FAILED. You cannot do that. Like said before get with a group and study. Make flash cards because systems is not easy at all.

If you don't know the answers DO NOT TALK just say I don't know. More than a handfull of guys fail just because they talked themselves into a hole. As far as the oral goes thats all there is to it. Know that Systems manual front and back. The instructors are great and they will prepare you very well but you need to do self study or group study.

I have always found the best way is group study. The class that studies togeather passes togeather. There wasn't one preson I studied with on a daily basis that didn't pass their oral. So get to it. We got our GOM SOP JEPPS and Checklist the first day of class.
