One thing in general: You're 17. All the other guys are probably 22/23, have their bachelor and/or degree and much more live experience. Sounds discouraging, but it's not something that you can't do anything about. It's very important that you're able to compete with your fellow aspirant pilots. For example, in a group exercise, stick to your point and convince the fellas that your point is the best. Also, listen to an others input and use it for the group process.
In addition, where a suit, be polite (but don't overshoot it) and be focused.
Good luck!
I'll be doing my selections in Portugal, I'm from the Netherlands indeed. I followed a class for 5 years where you had projects and worked together, so it teached me a lot about group assignments. Thanks for the tips
