ATP test prep software

[Mike Rapoport]

Has anyone used any software products to prepare for the ATP written? How
did you like the product?

Thanks!

I used the ASA Prepware software package for my A&P tests.
Helped tremendously!
I highly recommend it (for A&P anyways)

I am using both the ASA Prepware and the King Schools tapes (John still
teaches the equal transit theory of lift). The ASA Prepware is pretty good.

So are you doing this for fun, or has your insurance company promised
a rate reduction?

Puke. I found the ASA Prepware for the Instrument Rating to be the
biggest waste of $75 I've done in a long time. They didn't even manage
to get there stupid help file to work right (never a good sign). The
online figure viewer is completely worthless. Gleim got it right.
I've got several of their test preps.

I am doing it soley to improve myself I don't anticipate an insurance
break. The insurance company requires simulator training and to pass that
training you have to fly to ATP standards.

Mike,
I've used Dauntless Software's Ground School software for my Commercial,
CFI, AGI, and IGI tests and like it better than the Gleim software. You can
test yourself on specific subjects as well as the whole test just like with
Gleim, but the Dauntless program let's you view and manipulate the FAA
figures in the same window as the test question, the last Gleim program I
used wouldn't let me zoom or move the figure in the same window as the
question. Dauntless also has a method of testing yourself on what they
think are the hardest questions. Dauntless has several different and
additional "Test and Practice" modes than Gleim. I see they have a version
for the 135ATP and the 121ATP. I'd highly recommend it. You can download
the sample version or the full version at FAATest.com. It's worth a look.
I believe they also give a discount for subsequent purchases.

i'm with ron. i bought the asa atp prepware, and the first cd wouldn't
load. they sent me another one, but i found the software real clunky.
then i bouth the gleim, and it was far superior (imho).

(mike, if you want the asa, you can have mine for shipping, just
let me know)

Hmmmm...

Like I said, mine was for the A&P tests, not the pilots tests, so I can only
speak for the A&P program.

That was all that I had so I really can't compare to anything else, but it
worked fine for me.

Maybe ASA Prepware isn't consistent between different ratings or something?

If I was the OP, I would jump on GA's offer! That's cheap even if it's not
the best program!

Mike,

I used the ASA test prep software for my Airframe, Power plant,
Commercial and my ATP. It was useful and I preferred it over the Gleim.
It seems to be a matter of preference.

Thanks for all the replies. There certainly is a diversity of opinion here
over Gleim vs. ASA! I'm going to try the Dauntless product. Thanks again!
