Here's a little advice on preparing for training and class I found. Good luck guys:
Know the limitations for all three models inside out before you show up, then you'll just have to review during the first week for that test. Know the engine limitations by engine model number and airplane model number (i.e. 120A, 123C, 123 for the 102, 201, and 311, respectively). Read every bit of the systems stuff that you have time for, then take the test included in the CD, it'll be easy to go back and find the answers if you don't remember them. It is expected that you have done a lot of studying from the CD before you show up for class, just get into study mode now and don't stop throughout training. Once you're there resist the urge to lay back and let it all happen, stay ahead of class, re-read the material the night before so that class is a review. Pay attention in class, and write down every bit of what is covered that you don't already know firmly. Review your notes for the systems final, read the questions carefully, and you should have no trouble. While in and around the training building, do not complain about how rough it is, how things are structured, or blab about how many beers you drank and how much TV you watched last night. You are being listened to and building your reputation from day one. Be professional, attentive, and courteous throughout the entire experience, even when you're unhappy and burned out. Don't fall asleep during the videos. (I know, he left the room and no one will notice... Wrong.)
