Whats the best way to study for the test? I have to have it done by the 8th., so time is a factor.

Thanks

The Gleim book with the computer test program. Just keep taking test after test and it will show you you're weak areas. Skip the weight and balance or another really long or involved area if you are short on time.

If you have $300 to spare go to ATP and knock it out in 1 day! I had looked over the book a few times and really needed to get it done. I was VERY skeptical but i called and booked an appointment. I got there at 8am and walked out by 6pm with a 93%.

Sheppard Air is THE way to go. I tried studying the Gleim book but just found it a big sleeping pill. A buddy then told me about Sheppard Air. What a difference.

Make sure you study the "Gouge Sheet" on fuel and W/B questions.

I used Sheppard Air (99%) and Highly recommend it -- "2" on the gouge sheet.

I've talked to several people who also used Sheppard Air to study for the ATP. Everyone thinks it's great and said they passed the written with high scores.

Yup, I flew a red-eye, drove straight from the airport to ATP...eight hours (and one gallon of coffee) later I got a 96%.

If you're already in 121, you're not going to learn anything by studying for this.
