FOI failures
Not sure if this goes here or not but i have heard that a lot of people have been failing the Fundamentals of Instruction written exam. I was wondering if anybody knows if this will calm down any time soon as i plan to take the test in the next few months. Thanks for your help.

I took the FOI test in November and got a 78%. The question bank had changed prior to I took the test. Here is what I did and I would suggest you do to prepare for the test.
1. Read the Aviation Instructor's Handbook and highlight everything you think is important. Re-read it and highlight more. Re-read it
2. Get a copy of either ASA or Gleim written test prep for the FOI and keep taking practice tests. Although the question bank is different, it helped me nevertheless.
3. Re-read the Aviation Instructor's Handbook.
4. Take a few tests on exams4pilots.org.
Good luck!!

I took it a couple months ago and passed it. Got 80%. I studied the gleim guide and the Dauntless prep on the iPad. most of the stuff I studied was on topic but the way the FAA words some of the questions is where they got me.
I second what was said about the instructor handbook though.

www.sheppardair.com - best out there!
Website looks really old but the database is continually updated. Passed my FOI, CFI-A, and CFI-I all with over a 90% back in August. Studied about 4 days for each. I think the package price is something like $100. Well worth it. Good luck!

I took that test a few years ago and got 98 on it, which says more about how easy it was than how smart I am. I figured the one I missed was the experimental question. They probably should have made it harder as they did, it was kind of a joke before. You could just memorize the study guide.
