Which study material is better....Gleim ATP online study kit or KING DVD Kit?

I like the Gleim software.

My vote's for Gleim too.

I used the book and CD and recommend getting both.

The book is good for figures and charts along with its portability when you have time to study it whereever.

Having the CD too helps track progress, isolate questions and go through answers/grades quicker.

A few weeks of off/on studying and I got a 99%

Word of caution:

This comes up a lot, regradless of whether you're taking the 121 or 135 - study EVERYTHING other than the regulations section of the one you're not taking. The IFR trips and planes are NOT separate as many believe. I took the 121 and got 135 trips and 135 AC W&B problems.

Dang...that just added an hour a day to my study....

Thanks for the heads up though.

I just studied the book and was just fine. Wish they would have had the DVDs back in the day.

Geim worked out great for me - I crammed on my own for about 10 days and scored an 88%. Just took it a few weeks ago - it's a killer test good luck!

I used Gleim. Did the online ground school, then took 5 or 6 practice tests.
Scored a 96. It will definitely prepare you well for the test if you follow it all the way through.

The 30 dollar gleim or ASA book works fine, studied the ASA book for two days and went to the fbo and took the test, no reason to study and of the W + B problems or the performance stuff, takes to much time, just study the immediate answer questions and you'll know enough to get the 70%, I picked B for all of the W + B and performance BS and got an 81% and got my ATP two weeks later.

I'm still trying to figure out why the downloadable test bank (from the FAA website) only has 382 questions, and these Gleim, ASA, etc. books have well over 1,000.

Anyone know???

Maybe I'm an overachiever, but why not study and learn all of what's covered in the book. Even with a 99% I was still pissed being so close to a 100%.
