Default 2005 ATP Gleim still good?

The good news: many of us will get our long awaited upgrades this year. The bad news: I've slacked on getting my ATP written done. I studied that bad boy for months prior to my interviews a few years back and I can distinctly remember thinking I'd take it as soon as I got out of training.....then I draw blank

Anyway, I'm wondering if anyone knows if the test bank has changed much since 2005ish. Thanks guys and gals

Is it worth at least $30 to upgrade? If yes then get a new book. If you really want to do well and make it easy on your self go here.

Definately go with Shepard Air. Cuts down your study time and the question banks are kept up to date. Ignore the Gleim stuff it takes way too long and makes you study far too many questions. You could be from zero to written ATP in 2 weeks.

And a side note, I went from zero study time, to ATP written completed in 4 days. They offer 24 hour support over the phone and if you score anything less then a 90%, your money back. Best $75 I spent and great people who work there.

Shepard Air. Will require no more than 4 hours of study to score over a 90, if not closer to 100%. If it were any easier I would consider it cheating. Or wait.... O Well....

Absolutely, without a shred of a doubt in my mind, the best $75 I have ever spent in my life. Worth every fraction of a penny.

You have me beat by 5 minutes! The girl at the testing center said I set the record for their location..haha

And anyone waiting to take the ATP test, don't. The FAA will be increasing the test bank x2 in the next couple of years (From what I am told). This is due to trying to meet the same standards/level of the JAA.
