Studying for Oral and Practical

[dmunnings23]

Hi guys,
About to take my air-frame and general O&P. Curious as to how you guys studied for it? Did you do flash cards or just read the ORAL and practical study guide? Just looking for a few tips so I can be prepared!

Thanks
David

Tons of posts on here regarding that, but the sum of them is Highlight correct answer ONLY in your study book. Do NOT read the wrong answers.
Read them over and over. ONLY Question and Correct Answer

That's what got me through

That is what I did. It's essentially the same as using flash cards, except that there is some risk in subconsciously seeing wrong answers. Flash cards are the way to go, they are even used by air force test pilots when preparing for test flights in new (to them) aircraft.

That's why they said highlight the question and only the correct answer.
I killed the writtens, and didn't know it that well, all through Rote.

It worked for me too, but I know that flash cards are tried and true, and require more thought, and imbed the information in memory in a manner taught through all levels of schooling.

I'll buy that

Steve,

I wasn't referring to the written but the actual oral and practical part of the exam. Already passed my General and Airframe ms have 8 months to get either A or P.

[Steve340]

oh lol

Oral is test questions right from the book.
Practical can be stupid simple or hell, depending on your guy

Steve thanks for the reply. what book are you refering to? the ASA PREPWARE or the DALE CRANE ORAL and PRACTICAL test guides? Thanks

[Steve340]

I believe the ASA is the most used one.

Oral like I said is right from the book. Practical could be working on a mag, installing a cylinder, banging a few rivets, calculating W&B etc.

ALWAYS ask for tech data on ANYTHING your asked to do, #1 it will show you how to do it, but he wants to see that you know to use the book. 43.13 has standard practices general torques for bolts if NOT in the manual. Attitude, be humble and ask questions, you do all that only a real dick for flunk you. Your not supposed to know all this stuff, an A&P is simply a license to learn.
