He’s just looking out for a fellow pilot. What, do you want to be cancelled, too?

Perhaps I am a nerd and/or over-achiever but when prepping for the Day 1 test, I find each LOD question in Aerodocs and put a bookmark on that page (ACGEN_001, HYD_003 etc). The test lists which LOD objective each question is from, so you can snap right to the answer using the bookmarks.

This may be the single smartest thing I have ever read on these forums. It’s so simple and I can’t believe I never thought of it. This is chairman’s club nomination material it my book.

Agree. Thanks for sharing!

I did this going through on the 737. A bit of work upfront, but makes day 1 test a breeze!

Isn’t the LOD allowed now? I heard they changed it last year.

No

It was not in December. It does seem to vary based on who’s doing the test.

Bookmarking does take time but helps me study a little in the process. Necessary evil to not sweat the test.

Just finished a 320 IQ. As of January the only references SPECIFICALLY prohibited on the eSV (day 1 systems test) are the LOD and personal notes/study guides. Everything else is fair game.

I didn't think to bookmark with respect to specific questions, that's PhD level brilliant. But I've always bookmarked sections/references in the Vol1 and Vol 2 that I seemed to struggle with while studying the LOD.

It depends on who the instructor is. The OFFICAL policy is you can't use the LOD, but there are a lot of instructors who say they don't care. It kind of makes it hard to really prepare since you don't know the instructor's opinion until the day of the test.

Honestly who cares though? We have 4 hours to answer 150 questions! The Volume 2 is laid out so nicely that you really don't need bookmarks. On my last eSV, the instructor allowed us to use the LOD, but the few questions I wanted to look up were easier to find in Volume 2. The LOD is a 100ish page document with no table of contents whereas the Volume 2 has a great table of contents.

The eSV is not hard. 70% of the stuff in the LOD is either common sense or stuff you would want to know anyway. Another 30% is stuff that is easy to look up. For the most part, the only time people get stuff wrong is because they didn't read the question correctly or the question was poorly worded.
