I know this sounds silly but it's all important, you'll have an exam within the first few days/week that your score will be recorded from, from those scores and performance over the course your seniority will be generated within your course, if a xfer or part time comes up it's in your best interests to be as high on that list as possible, it is also used for bidding, seniority on board and leave.
if you fail the exam you'll get points, points don't win prizes, points get you sacked, 2 for failing the first exam 3 for failing sep or avmed and 1 for behaviour problems, if you get to 6 points you go.
so work hard!!!
