I took my time, and glad I did as I saw I got a 92 on it.... it is geared towards an attention to detail

My guess is you don't have previous 121 experience and probably just recently took your ATP written?
If you've taken the ATP written several years ago and have been flying for several years, you wouldn't know some of this stuff and wouldn't get a 92, believe me! Do you think a furloughed Midwest, NetJets, etc. guy can pass the test with 80% without actually studying for it? I don't think so. I think it is a waste to have interview candidates take an ATP written test for the interview, but most airlines do it simply to weed out people who are not serious about the job and did not prepare.
