The SV questions are almost all straight out of the Review Questions from the Supplemental Study Guide (Ch. 9). If you Sheppard Air it, you will do well on the test, but you will totally miss out on actually learning the concepts. They gave us the questions from the question bank without the answers to avoid people doing exactly that, and I think that's totally fair. I just noticed that they were the same as the SSG review questions so I was confident that I was able to have the right answer.
My advice for systems: get together with a small group (2-4) in the evenings and review a system in detail. You have your iPads (AOM and Ethos), the Supplemental Study Guide (if you can stomach the cost, print it out and bind it, it's a great resource during all of systems), and your paper tiger. Just work through the different switches/knobs, learn the different positions and what they actually do (e.g. on the Electrical System, what happens when you turn the AC Bus Ties knob from Auto to 1 Open?), and then when you've gone through that, test yourselves with the review questions from the Supplemental Study Guide. If you're feeling pretty good about your systems knowledge and just want to study for the test, have somebody ask questions from the SSG. It's amazing how people pick up on different things; you can really learn well as a group. Someone will know one thing or have noticed one thing, and the entire group benefits. Then someone who didn't know something will know something else that others didn't know. We all have our strengths and weaknesses, and as a result there's strength in numbers.

It's great. Power Point, but there's lots of interactive things with the Virtual Flight Deck (VFD) programs that you will use to really start driving home the systems. In particular, the MCDU module is really helpful, and they've got some terrific handouts to help with that process.
