Nearly ready for the A&P exams

Hello.

I just completed the last of the three written exams for my
Airframe & Powerplant rating. So I no longer have an excuse
to put off the oral and practical test!

Any words of wisdom for how to best prepare for this test?
Also, should I go for both licenses in a single O&P session,
or study and test separately?

I did the oral at the examiner's residence and the practical the next day at
his hangar.
This was the way he preferred and I think it's better to spread it over two
days.


I am also wondering how the general knowledge questions
are handled. Are these included in the airframe O&P,
or are they split between the two O&P tests?


On the oral, the examiner must ask a certain number of questions in each
category; the choice is his. My examiner was kind enough to ask me what I
was weak on and chose the questions accordingly.
I believe there is a certain amount leniency on what practical subjects the
examiner chooses, again he ask me about my weak/strong suits.
What I had looked forward to with dread turned out to be a very enjoyable
experience
