Sheppard Air test prep ?
Nice to see that they have Commercial test prep available now. The question I have, is there something special about their test prep? I know with the other preps the have, the advantage is there are far fewer questions to study. I called though and was told that their bank for the Commercial is 639 questions. My Gliem book has 631 so it is about the same. So is there some reason to go with the Sheppard system?

Not sure otherwise. I'm a happy customer though.

All of the ones you guys list I completely understand. They have far fewer questions to study for those tests. The commercial on the other hand has pretty much the same amount.
I ordered it last night though so I will see how it goes. I have never had trouble using the Gleim book but if it is a better mouse trap then it will be worth it.

Sheppard Air has very good information on how to study their prep and how to prepare. Do exactly as they say. Also, make sure you download the gouge documents. MEMORIZE IT!
Best test prep money I ever spent. Got me two perfect scores (100).

Sheppard air has extremely useful information about how to study for the test and they also provide a packet of memory items. There are a lot of items on the test that you can just memorize rather than study how to calculate it which saves a lot of time.
Just like others, I'm a happy customer. I used Gleim for most of my written tests then Sheppard Air for my ATP and there was no comparison. Shappard is the best.

I've used them three times in the last year and I've gotten no less than a 93% on any of my tests, including one 100%. Their method is simple...they have a relationship with the FAA! Ever since the FAA won the argument to maintain proprietary ownership of the entire question bank, the feds are able to sell the information. I think that much of the relationship is self explanatory. The rest of the story is that some some test prep programs have you studying the ENTIRE database for your particular test. Sheppard Air only includes the current segment of questions. Every so often, I'm guessing quarterly, the FAA establishes the current question bank. They mix it up to keep applicants on their toes. Somehow, Sheppard Air is able to update the information on a daily basis. If the question is rephrased or new "incorrect" choices are added to the test, their software updates where most others don't. Don't take short-cuts with the software. Study the way they tell you.

If you want to make sure you pass with a high score and don't mind studying how to pass the test and not necessarily learn anything from it...then definitely! I'm using their ATP prep right now and am doing 30x better on these practice exams than from the Gleim/ASA preps.
