Anyone know our Class size?

I believe your class size is going to be 6. We saw a chart of the class sizes going forward and they’re going to be REALLY small for a while.

Appreciate it. Which class are you in? Maybe they are thinking a smaller class a higher pass rate....

I’m in the 7/11 class. We just wrapped up non radar last week and started radar (ERAM). Hopefully all 6 of you are on here and can coordinate living at the same place. Spreading out in a small group makes socializing and studying harder.
Study groups are helpful or not, depending who you talk to and how you prefer to study. You’ll definitely get more attention in a smaller group, but you’ve still gotta put in the work to learn and do well.

Thanks for the advice! I have no prior experience so I've been using the study guide that you can buy from this website and has helped a ton. Im pretty excited for class to start. Any challenges so far in your class??

Don’t study anything before you get here. It’s a waste of time. It is glaringly obvious to the instructors who is and isn’t taking the time to study/practice. No real challenges though.

Just FYI, the FAA only pays for housing one day in advance of your start date. For what it’s worth.
