I'd start training your liver. I hadn't drunken that much since college.

This. Don’t worry about studying before—do a general perusal to get familiar with the material but you will have lots of opportunity to study.

Absolutely. It's 5 weeks of training spread over 8 weeks!

100%.

No reason to show up with everything memorized unless you have a spotty record or it’s your first jet.

Seriously.

Currently in training now in the first week. Seems like they kind of give us an option to study the material in our own way. I’m trying to figure out how to organize what to study and when to study it. The homework and expectations guide they provided seems pretty on par with how training is supposed to go. Is that what most use as their study guide and just follow it day-by-day?

Thanks!

Limitations
Immediate Action Items
Systems CBTs (mandatory) prior to the oral and if you like reading instead, then use the manuals
There are some good apps out there too. Some are less expensive than others and do just as good a job as helping you understand systems, including schematics that actually move when when repositioning switches to give you an idea of what's happening.
