Yeah every examiner is different, but the majority of my questions were variations of questions from these books. Some were multiple choice questions asked as an open-ended question, and some were the exact wording of the oral questions in the back. The books do a great job of covering all the bases.
Other than these, the other questions were just general knowledge or things that you just KNOW. The practical is pretty easy, they changed up the standards for it I guess. You get randomly assigned projects sent from the FAA, so its a lottery almost. One of mine was to drill out rivets in a round inspection panel/patch plate. Re-fabricate based on the old dimensions and rivet it back in, using the existing holes. That was my longest project, and it was too easy. I'm not they best riveter, but in the end he asked me to identify my deficiencies and he said that was good enough.
I had one where I had to remove and service a wheel bearing in a landing gear. Grab the manual, follow instructions, and you cant screw up! Another project was writing a maintenance entry for a log book with the proper level of detail. Another project was looking up all the ADs on an aircraft specified by the examiner (literally copy/pasted FAA.gov search results to a new word doc, formatted it, and presented it to the examiner. They could go one step further and make you confirm that all ADs are complied with based on maintenance logs they give you.
I hope this helps. I was sweating for about the first 10 minutes of the oral portion, but my confidence grew with every correct answer. I think I missed 4 of around 50ish verbal questions I was asked. As long as they keep asking them, you're still in the game! If they cut it short you know you messed up, haha.'
PS: this is a nice reference too. You can even buy it used for a discount. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1560278986/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I use my snap on screwdrivers constantly. I got one of those Kobalt double action screwdrivers for the house and I love it. But any time I'm working on something that needs a bit of torque the snap-ons come out.
