"The cosmonauts' morning started again with exams," the video on the CPC page says.

As specified in the center, the backup crew passed the exam in the simulator of the Soyuz MS spacecraft, and the main one coped with emergency situations on the simulator of the Russian segment of the ISS. Examination trainings usually take place within two days, at the next stage the crews will have to switch places.
