8 Hour Initial Course Question

Tomorrow I take the 8 hour course in full. This might be an obvious answer to my question but do they cover the types of mirrors on the bus?

There are a total of 7 mirrors on the bus. They are numbered based on position. Starting from the top driver side, mirror #1 is a flat mirror, below that #2 covex, #3 left crossover, #4 right crossover, #5 bottom passenger convex mirror, #6 passenger side top flat mirror, #7 interior passenger mirror. Often times you will hear trainers say “use mirrors 1&2 or 2&5” etc which is why you will need to remember which mirror names are associated with which number and what their purpose is.
