Thanks

Also, for some "light reading" they recommend
Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators available from the FAA on the web.

Yes you need to study for the ATP written before you go! Shepard air is awesome. I believe the will still refund your $75 if you score below a %90. They due have a disclaimer that due to the FAA changing up the test you may have several questions not yet in Shepard's test bank.
But $75 back if you score below %90, so what's the problem? Better to study calmly at home Vs cramming in DAY when your job is on the line.
