I studied the ATP Gleim over and over again. I wouldn't bother with the Instrument book unless you're really in need of a serious review. The Instrument questions were straight forward. there were only a couple commercial questions on the exam. It was a difficult test though. Everyone in my group scored above a 90%, so it's not bad if you come well prepared.

Make sure you study the NDB and Circling minimums questions in the ATP written book and the Instrument written book if you are rusty at all.

God knows why, we DON'T circle unless it's VFR and we don't shoot raw data NDB approaches (we shoot them with the FMS with the NDB needles up for "legality purposes"), but those questions make up about 10-20% of the test depending on which test version you get.

Incidentally, the interview format will change drastically by April 1st, two-day process to include psych test and simulator eval to be instituted pretty soon.

Study the chapters listed in www.aviationinterviews.com it's all pretty easy, I just went through the gleim 2x and scored above a 90 on it.

psych test? Guess I better send in my resignation right away. Sim eval where? I figure the sims are tied up with all the intials and super duper junior captain upgrades.
