ATP written

Anybody know of a quick way to get the ATP out of the way without spending an gold bar on King Schools videos?

Spend "an gold bar" and get it over in one afternoon... look at the little ad in the left side of this board.. a bit of money, but its EASY! and quick.

Thanks

I originally put "an assload" but decided to revise my language and forgot to change it and i get flamed.

I did it!! Easy as hell!! Go in at 8am..... Sit in front of a computer all day... Take the written at 6pm.... Easy score of high 80's or 90's without even picking the Gliem up....

buy the gliem computer program and pound through all the non-performance questions 3-4 times. do all the calculation and performance questions as you get them on the actual test and hope for the best (they give you 3 hours).

Best compromise between the cost of allatps and spending 2 months reading the book.

Oh, and do a few practice tests before the real thing. This is what I did, I passed, but it wasn't pretty.

Not like it's the bar exam or anything...go to ATP and be done with the written in a day or two.....or even cheaper, buy the Gleim, spend a few days reading and go knock out a 90+.

Unless you are "one of those" , Knew a guy that carried the book around everywhere he went for 3 months straight and still only managed an 80......I guess some folks just have trouble with multible choice!

I've had colleagues use All ATPs and said it's a piece of cake, assuming you front $300. Another guy I know, mentioned a link somewhere on the net where you can literally take it for free....He said he just took his online. He's supposed to throw the link my way any day now.

For me: I'd rather spend time reading up on my aircraft and ops manual then studying Gleim or more test prep. Guess I'd drop the $300 and go knock it out in one day. Use the ATP Oral Guide for the checkride. My .02. Peace.

Buy the Gleim. Spend an entire day memorizing it. I highlighted the correct answer so that as I was reading the questions, only the correct answer would jump out at me. When you take the test, the only familiar answer is the correct one. I spent 8 hours in one day memorizing it like that. 94 was my score. That is the cheapest way and virtually the same as the computer based stuff.

Yep. Buy the 'ol red book, study it for a week, memorize the answers, skip the performance questions, eek out a 70+% and be done with it!!! The ATP written is a hoop to jump through, not a yardstick of your flying ability. Treat it accordingly!

Sheppardair.com, or shepardair.com. Download the software, it's the same that all atps uses.

try www.checkride.com The software is only like 30 bucks and it has a feature to cut the questions to the 350 most common.... The written cost me about 80 bucks so it is almost a 1/3 the cost of the ATP course....

I second sheppard air. Their software is great and I made a 100% after studying it for about 4 days.

I second this idea, I downloaded that program, paid the $30 online, started having it ask me questions at 9am, and headed for the airport around 4 to take the written. $110 total spent and I didn't have to leave town. The only questions I felt unprepared for and had to guess were GPS questions, which were not asked of me by the software, although I did have it slim the question bank down considerably.
