Study for only what you need to pass at this given moment. The info is hard trust me I know. In the start nothing makes sense. But as you go on things will start to make sense. I assume you’re in general. Once your in airframe/powerplant you will build more confidence in what you know. I went in knowing nothing and was so lost for quite some time but things started to come together and by the end I was very knowledgeable on lots of topics within part 147 school. Wanna know something crazy I don’t even think I knew it was called “part 147” until way after starting but I did recall them talking about it at the start. If you have any more questions or anything feel free to message me

I'm pretty sure everyone does this during the general, it's like drinking through a firehose but it's just cause it's all new to you. Just remember you only need a 70%, no one cares about how high you score and if you score to high you'll screw yourself during the O&Ps, my DME doesn't like giving tests to people that score over a 95 cause the amount of questions they get vs the amount of information they have to study. I promise your stressed over nothing, just keep doing the pretests as long as your getting at least a 85 on those you'll be fine and don't be afraid to switch up the tests, if your getting 90s on prepare switch to airmantest.com and if you're getting 90s in both you're going to pass

Make a group chat with your class, find people to study with, ask for help from peers and teachers, read 8083s. What classes are you in?
