Woohoo, passed my written exam this morning with a 98!
Have my final chief instructor check ride next Tuesday, then hopefully the FAA check ride later next week!
Just wanted to share...

Congratulations. A lot of students struggle on the private knowledge exam. I thought the instrument one was the toughest by far. Good luck on the checkride!

Used the Jeppesen syllabus, would do ground and flight at the same time (ie: ground 1 and flight 1 on the same days). The King videos and practice tests at the Sporty's web site were pretty helpful for the test itself.
Only question I got wrong was some obscure question about which division of the FAA do you report automobile DWI convictions to.

As a continuation, I passed my checkride today! I'm now the proud holder of a temporary ASEL certificate!

congrats buddy... have fun with your new license and flying your friends and family around...

just remember that your Private is truly a license to learn

from my experience, you will learn more about flying and how to be a pilot in the next 100 hours than you did from zero time until now.

im sure others would concur
