Basics final
Not overly helpful but it's basics... stop stressing. Read the questions carefully and don't rush.
Thanks, I bought it a while back. Though some questions needs to be updated, been passing the final test questions on it. Just really don’t want to be the one caught out cause of dumb errors, I noticed they ask for specific little minor details like stuff with the relief position. Would you say getting 90s on the block tests is a good indication?

You should be fine if you're in the 90’s. Passing is a 70.

Is basics online, still?
Yes, but you’re being monitored. Not sure how the final will be administered. Instructors said they have to hand off to someone else.

Instructors can’t administer the scored exams… same for the academy. Instructors are technically just contractors… the FAA has to be the one proctoring and giving scores.

By “monitored” they most likely mean you’ll have to keep your Zoom video turned on and an FAA individual will join the Zoom meeting to “proctor” it.
CTRL + F is always your friend. If you feel slimy about doing that, don’t. Advice is just that, advice.
Will it be on blackboard? I heard they can see your screen.

Use a different device to search, then. Lots of options. Do whatever you feel is right. Everybody draws lines differently.

Don't ever cheat on a test. Dishonesty is the worst.

My initial post was intended mostly as a joke.
That being said:
A sizable part of this job is differentiating between what you need to know, and what you need to know how to find.
If the academy is essentially an extended screening process, learning how to determine what information goes in which category should happen eventually.
Not everything on that test falls into the must know category. You could argue it’s must know for the sake of that test, and you’d probably be right. If you’re that stressed about it, through, don’t fail out on the basics final.

I get it, my guy. I’ll just do my best and whatever happens happen. Thank you for even answering.
