I agree with all the above advice. However, I do remenber when I went on the course Alex started by asking everyone how much study they had done so that he knew what pace he should run the course at. I would personally suggest familiarising yourself with CAP 385 and brushing up on basic performance theory and definitions such as V speeds etc. This will at least ensure that you don't get left behind on the first morning and at best put you ahead of the game a little. He does run an excellent course but it does run at quite a pace! If you get through the two days with Alex then the exam will be no problem! Can't recommend him enough.
