It's no big deal, do your best and if you said press instead of select they will call you in, ask you what you meant and let you correct it.

Knowing the QRH word-for-word isn't the point of knowing your memory items. The point of it is knowing what to do in what order to do it instantly when it happens without having to look it up.
That goes for flows as well. I remember back in the 50, the engine start flow, in my head, would be "Off, off, on, off, on, start" not "Thrust lever is shutoff, generator is selected to off/reset, fuel pump on, packs selected off, ignition A/B selected, start button push"
Now the start flow on the 700/900 is just "off, on, start"

If an examiner ever pulled that on me, I'd "select" my thumb into his eye socket.

For all you guys currently in class, did they ask for ATP written results on the first day. Art Wanzo never really specified whether or not I needed it for then. I assumed I did, but with wrapping things up with my former employer and moving, I totally forgot about it with my class starting next Mon. I'm gonna be on the road most of today otherwise, I would just spend all day studying. I really don't wanna be sent home cuz its not done. Any comments??
