Should just be a quiz, analyze a tank or two, label them and fill out log, then shoot the **** with the instructor for an hour (or maybe that part is just me)A written quiz in addition to the 'written' final exam for the classroom part?
Yes, there is a 10-question Quick Review after the e-Learning and at the start of the Practical Application segment. I did not mention it above because it is not part of the Practical Application that the OP asked about...it comes before it.But wait, there's more!
In addition to how to analyze and set the dive computer, you go "through the processes of obtaining enriched air from a blending facility, and to get a direct overview of how operations blend enriched air nitrox." (quote from the Instructor Manual) this include logging and marking the tank.
And then there are two Pre-Dive Simulations. #1 is:
Performance ObjectivesBy the end of Enriched Air Dive 1 or Predive Simulation Exercise 1, student divers should beable to:1. Execute a dive within the no stop limits, maximum depth and oxygen exposure limitsestablished by the instructor during predive planning.or2. Plan a dive within the no stop limits, maximum depth and oxygen exposure limitsestablished by the instructor.And #2 is:
Performance ObjectivesBy the end of this dive, with little or no help, students should be able to1. Execute a dive within the no stop limits, maximum depth and oxygen exposure limitsestablished by the instructor during predive planning.or2. Plan a dive within the no stop limits, maximum depth and oxygen exposure limitsestablished by the instructor.

For the practical part of the class I would always have 1 cylinder out of a group of 4-5 correctly filled cylinders that would be way off from the expected 32% when testing. The first question to the student was then: "What do you now know? Which was followed by a glassy eyed blank stare.You have to analyze and label a tank properly. The shop may also ask a few questions to be sure you've mastered the content.
Good advice on the analyzer. Wish I had bought mine sooner.Yeah, I forgot the log part.They often take this opportunity to sell you an O2 analyzer. Buy it if you can afford it.
A CO analyzer is also a good thing. Mine finally stopped working. Maybe @DandyDon has a good suggestion!Good advice on the analyzer. Wish I had bought mine sooner.
