Heres how my first type rating went:
1. Go to class from 7am to 3 pm (PAY ATTENTION)
2. Go back to the hotel and study for an hour
3. Walk across the street with my buddys to Costco. Grab a 30 pack of beer and stick it in the frozen foods section (Their beer isnt cold).
4. Walk around and eat all the free samples until we were full
5. After eating, the beer is now cold
6. Buy the beer
7. Go to the pool
8. Get drunk at the pool
9. Go to bed
10. Wake up the next day hungover
11. Repeat steps 1 - 10
If you have half a brain and pay attention in class you will be fine. There was 19 guys in my class. There was only 4 of us in my little party group, and we all finished top of our class. Just know how to balance your job of getting the type and having fun. It will make it a lot easier. I honestly think if I would have locked myself in my room everynight and studied nonstop, I would have burnt out and struggled... Take it seriouse but dont sweat it!
