No, never had a PC good enough when I had time and now I don’t have time. But the instructors did tell us that it can be good training!

But I’ve been watching a lot of Pilot Debrief and Mentour Pilot, maybe that also helped in some way.

Edit: Oh and I think my college experience helped, because I learned that I learn way better when I just pay attention in class instead of trying to write everything down all the time.

Did you read Brave New World? The first chapter describes students who eagerly write everything down “straight from the horse’s mouth.” That’s how I felt in that room sometimes. Everybody was distracted by writing while I was just paying attention and trying to come up with good questions to make sure I really understood it.
