I think you are exaggerating a little bit. My class earlier this year, myself including prepared for the oral using the study guide alone and we all passed. I don't think it was a coincidence. If you know the study guide I guarantee it, you will pass oral with flying colors. Every question during your type oral comes from the study guide. No surprises. With that said if you want to use other resources then more power to you and you most likely you will get a little more in depth to A320 systems. Know what you need to know for the oral and once you pass your type ride you can dig little deeper into the systems in your spare time.

Can the online CBT be done on an iPad or just a computer?

It's just questions for the company to approve or disapprove for the interview. Very basic only a page of questions
