Could someone tell me how many questions to expect on the test, I thought that I heard there were 60 questions out of a possible 700 or so, is that correct?
 
smokehouse...

its some where around 60 Q's..im pretty sure, go check out the student pilot page at sporty's. it has practice tests you can do, oh and if you dont already have it, get a test prep (asa, gleim, etc) the questions are straight outta that book


Good Luck!!
 
KAF is correct, there are 60, and the bank of questions is pretty large. If your flight school has a Gleim practice computer, use that to take practice tests on. Do it chapter by chapter, until you ace all the questions in each chapter, then move on to the next chapter. If you don't have access to a Gleim practice computer at your school, you can buy the software for your PC, or buy a study book from Gleim, ASA or a few others. Get the cheapest book, they all have the same questions in them.

Good luck.
 
IMHO ASA books do a better job of teaching the material than do the Gleim books. I used both ASA and Gleim in combo for the CFI/AGI/FOI in the days before home PC test preps. Since then I have used ASA books for the ATP/FE writtens to learn each subject matter area, and used the Gleim test prep software to go through the questions until I could ace every chapter.

It is sixty questions, and I second all the comments about using the ASA books. I used the ASA books for every written I took for which I didn't attend a ground school, and did fine. The ASA books have the correct areas and the source material from which the FAA wrote the questions.

Good luck on your written.

And if you go the software route, get the cheapest software that simulates the testing environment.

After all, there are two goals to the exercise. The important one is to pass the test, and that and that means developing test-talking skills appropriate to the test you're taking (sounds obvious, doesn't it?). If you also happen to meet the secondary goal, actually learning something, so much the better.
 
60 is correct, the test also consists of a couple of extra questions at the end which are being evaluated as future potential test questions, however these extra questions are not included in the final results of your test.
I have used both ASA and Gleim, I think they are both good, each have their pros and cons.
 
Thanks you all very much for the great responses, I have the ASA book and have been through the questions relating to the material that I have already gone over and pretty much aced it with little problem, had a few screw up's with the pressure stuff but am reviewing that now.

Oh well, time to get back to it :)
