ATP Written

[pgcfii2002]

Best way to complete the written (besides studying the Gleim)?

Are there any weekend prep course that are recommended?

sigh, thread search a little.

Edit: Sorry, that's a little harsh. It just comes up so often.

ATP if there's one around you. One day, done.

Easiest cheapest way and you actually learn: Take the Gleim CD and review every question in test form. The ones you miss, you can go back over...by the time you get through all 1500 questions, you will know it cold. Skip the performance questions until the end and then just learn how to solve each type of question. It takes a couple of hours each night for about a week but you can go take the test with confidence of passing...only question is whether you score 90-95 or 95-100. Easy.

Did it a few months ago. Done in 1 day with no study or prep.

I agree. Its brtter than ATP's atp prep and only $75. You do it on your home computer on your own time. I read over the questions for 4-5 days and hot a 95. its a great value

I think I'll try the Gleim ATP written course.

These threads amaze me....

Why are so many people looking for "shortcuts" on this. Just take the time to prepare. Granted, it is pretty dry stuff, but why not sit down and actually learn where these answers come from. A decent portion of the test comes from air carrier regs (119/121/135), and wouldn't you know it, operating as a PIC under these parts requires the ATP certificate. That is why you are taking the test after all, to get the ATP certificate. This probably means flying is or will be your livelyhood.

But these people are just going to get this test out of the way, then they will buckle down and really learn the material, right? Doesn't seem to be the case. Seems that these are the same individuals who never open a book after a training event is finished until recurrent comes around. Then it's a crisis and they cram. In the mean time, they pass on incorrect information to those that fly with and look to them for guidance. Not because they have bad intentions, necessarily, but because they haven't taken the initiative to know any better.

Nobody can know it all, but why not have some respect for your profession and make an effort to make learning a continuous process. After all, you most likely enjoyed learning about flying when you started this whole process....

I also used the dauntless software and found it to be more than adequate for a reasonable price. I suggest you download the free demo and try it out. If you decide you like the learning format, it will be much cheaper than the weekend cram course.

Dauntless is adequate. I think the user interface is, uh, less than ideal and they are slow to correct errors in the questions, but the price is fair. I've submitted error reports for questions where their explanation didn't jive with their own correct answer and so far none of them have been fixed.
