If you are taking the full ATP written I recommend the Sheppard Air ATP prep (not the interview prep) and suggest you get started ASAP. Do not wait until class. Just like the other guy said you will be working hard and be tired. Anything you can do to lighten the load and reduce your fatigue will pay dividends. This is your career. Don't screw around. Prep as much as you can.
