That said, the concepts did change and a lot of questions were similar topics just worded differently. There were a lot of new questions too on things like LDAs, LAHSO, some Jepp chart interpretations, etc. I read Aero for Naval Aviators and Everything Explained for the Pro Pilot as well as some AOPA circulars and parts of the Flying Handbook (FAA). The gouge can help with focusing you on topics, but ACS is right, memorizing the current questions that are out there isn't smart. I felt good on both tests, and apparently passed since I got both jobs.

Congrats! Thanks for the recent info. I am a fan of the FAA Flying Handbook and am using that along with the the other books you listed plus "Ace the Pilot Technical Interview." It would seem any gouge or questions are really just best for self-testing to gauge how well you understand the concepts.
Good luck in your upcoming decision (if you have not already made it!)
