I did that the first time, but unfortunately the gleim doesn't teach you anything other than what is in the FAA question bank, which is not enough to understand FAR 121. Also, it's tough to get much more than a 90% if you try to actually do the flight planning problems (I did). And it took me about 3-4 weeks to go through the book.
