Gleim is the software and studying material given to me by my flight school and i made sure I used it daily. I took all the test over and over. One huge tip make sure you don’t just memorize it but you understand why. I did this and got a 97% on my PPL written exam. It’s great

Hey so I’m thinking about getting the book, would you honestly recommend against getting the physical version of the test prep?
@kevw17212 күн бұрын
I prefer online but the physical version gleim offers works. Having it online just seems easier plus they have a simulated version of what the test will ACTUALLY look like!

Yes and ASA has their own tool to help too. Ive had a lot of questions about sportys and yes I do recommend it. When you get to commercial or IFR though, supplement gleim with sheppard air or pilots cafe.

I am new to all this. I got confused about what books to use and what the difference is between the books or tests you mentioned in your other video. "I scored 95% on my private pilot written exam. Here is how I prepared/studied." Video ??? Thanks
@kevw17222 күн бұрын
No different at all 😎I think in both I mention during training to keep reading. Any test prep (Gleim specifically for private) will greatly help improve your chance of getting a high score on the written. Because Its too difficult to retain every piece of information in all the textbooks the FAA provides for a written exam and gleim narrows it down to make it simpler to what you will see on the written. For example: The written exam will not talk about advanced aerodynamic forces or turbochargers, Weather products like NEXRAD, WAAS etc while the PHAK does. For the oral exam. This is why we have the ACS. the oral exam guide, airplane flying handbook, pilots handbook and the FARs have the answers to the ACS. You can even bring FAA material to your checkride like I did!
@johnsmithh662Ай бұрын
I made a 90% solely by studying the ASA test prep.
@kevw172Ай бұрын
Whatever worked for you may also work for anyone else! In fact I honestly think anyone can get by with the material the FAA and ASA provide. This is just the way we did it for class and worked very well for this level!

Well youre doing the right thing not needing to pay an instructor for this people Dont realize they can save several thousands by studying at home before flying or doing an online course. But theres also completely free material online especially "free pilot training" on YT.

I didn’t read the books that much for my private written and got an 85%. I did however take an in person ground school class, and used sporty’s practice tests and went through their question bank over and over until I was getting high scores. The general consensus among pilots, at least on places like Reddit is that for every written after private, you should use Sheppard Air, which I’m using so far for instrument.

So your saying instead of actually learning the material, to just memorize the questions?
@kevw1724 ай бұрын
I mean when you're done learning the material related to the questions, I don't see a real issue with it. There's a lot of systems, weather and federal regulation related questions so when you practice the questions its almost just as similar as if you were reading it from a book or video. For the questions with the charts, look into them further. Especially because of how micro precise you have to be for them.

Do both. Use Sporty’s video ground school and question bank for private pilot written, and Sheppard Air, which is basically rote memorization for every written after that. Once you pass the written, use something like Sporty’s ground school to actually learn the material, which you’ll need to do to pass the checkrides.
