99% on my commercial knowledge test

All I gotta say is Gleim Software rocks

 

[Sir Humpalot]

You wasted your time by studying 29% of the info.

Congrats! I'll raise a beer for you! Good luck on the practical.

 

[PropsForward]

Congrats again!

Excellent. I agree, there is no substitue for the Gleim software. I use it and I make all my students use it.

...nothing like learning a test and not the material....

 

[Sir Humpalot]

Spend just enough time to pass the test and use the remainder of the time to study for the checkride. If you are studying to get a 100%, then noone cares besides yourself and get a pat in the back.

Regardless, 99% is good and just pass the checkride with flying colors.

Yeah, but who here has studied for the test and not walked away knowing a few new things...

Besides, It's a license saying qualified enough to learn some more.

...Besides, It's a license saying to qualified enought to learn some more.

I'm typically a "learn the material, not the test" guy, but I have to say this sentence really changed my mind on that.

Thanks...I've probably been over-comlicating things for 9 months now. Time to "git 'er dun!"

A 99% is as good as a 70%

 

[minitour]

A 99% is as good as a 70%

...don't you mean the other way around?

Is the Gleim software EXACTLY the same as the FAA exam?

 

[acaTerry]

I have to disagree with you guys. I can't count the times when someone with a high 90's score (Gleim Graduates) could not put something to practice. They knew that this question was b, that one was c, etc. But when it was time to put it to practice, they were lost.

I am not knocking Gleim stuff, heck I used it for 5 tests myself. All I am saying is that before bragging about how much you think you know b/c you got a 98 in 7 minutes, that you may want to think of what you really do NOT know.

Couldn't agree more. Also who says I didn't learn the material? As far as a 99% as good as a 70% I don't disagree. However come the actual FAA check ride I am more than certain the FAA examiner will go a little easier on the oral with someone who received a 99% than one that scored a 70%.

As far as me not learning or just memorizing the material id like to state that Lewis is a pretty tough 141 school. I am more than certain our stage 3 Pvt. are more knowledgeable than most stage 3 commercial students else wear. (let the flames begin)

Just wait til you get to do the CFI stuff......Laws of learning.....Blah Blah Blah

Well, for me it's a bit of a pride thing... I don't want to hand a DE a written score of 70% the day of the checkride... just doesn't seem like that reflects well on how I approach learning the science/art of flying.

maybe the DE doesn't care, but I do.

That is a laughable statement. I know.... I went there.
