Unless something changed recently, there no longer are SV oral exams. Brief walkaround quiz and memory items/limitations is about it, and its a part of MV briefing.
When there were SVs, there was a study guide with systems questions, rest of help was to be obtained through practical application of CRM.

Yeah, whomever you're getting your information from is wrong. I'd bet it's from someone that hasn't been with the company in years.

Since there is no SV, are we just tested on some systems through the KV multiple choice test? Or are there quizes for the CBTs?

CBT quizzes are designed to sort of prepare you for the KV. There are also practice KVs available.

Doesn't matter which airline, when someone posts wrong information, it's worth correcting.
Read his post, argue the facts. He clearly has no idea how KVs are commonly done. I am well aware how Envoy recently changed theirs, he seems to think FAA has a problem with open book KV.

The fact is it's irrelevant how KVs are done elsewhere in the light of the conversation. This is how it is here, FAA or not. Hopefully that works as an extra layer of protection against the "Lord Jesus you have my soul!" variety of pilot candidates.
​​​​"Envoy recently changed theirs" - made me think, that was what... close to 4 years ago now? Sky didn't fall.
I still remember the shock of some of the other airline refugees when they found out that the Envoy first recurrent isn't a "welcome you with open arms, gentle kiss on the left buttcheek, and send you on your way" type of an affair and there was a healthy percentage of probies washing out. Again, that's how it is here.
"wrong information" in general - while I have a thing or two to say about that, I won't, not the right medium for it.

Went to orientation 4/11, gone over the study guide many times. I have the flows, memory items, limitations down pretty well. I study those daily. I feel pretty good about the AP/GP modes as well. I don't start Indoc until 5/20. Anything else anyone suggests? Seems like I could be doing more with all this free time. Would it be worth it to login into Comply365 and start reading the FOM/AOM?

No, don't do that. Go outside. Spend time with friends. Lift weights. You're being paid to relax at home. You've already done more then 90% of people by day one BIA.

About to start sims with Envoy. Anyone have tips/advice to do well the remainder of training? The company sent us home for a week just telling us to keep studying flows and profiles essentially.

Definitely suggest having flows, profiles and maneuvers down pat. Work on chair flying with cockpit posters for muscle memory. Things definitely get different first time in the sim finally flipping switches and doing your first V1 cut. Having a good base of that makes other things more digestible in the lesson. 2 different airlines and that way of thinking has benefited me greatly.
