That's the reason for the first time since I was studying for my private, I bought an ASA book today. But what can ya do? I may buy the Dauntless app since I have an iTunes gift card, but I'm not sure yet. I'm just so much more comfortable with 135 regs than 121 and I have no intention of going 121. Not much time left now before July 31st! (or July 1st, really)

Took ATP's atp 1 day course @ ISP- was pricey, but had to get it done before july 31. Got an 85 w/ 6 hours of preparation.
Do I understand the material , eh not really.. i can fault myself for that. Experience will come with hours and experience.
my 2 cents

Sheppard Air is the way to go.
It doesn't matter which written you take when it comes time for the rating, and Sheppard Air makes the studying much easier. The FAR's are really the only difference between the two (the aircraft types for the problems also, but that doesn't really matter). SA has a study sheet teaches you how to do all the perfromance, cross country, HSI, etc in seconds not hours!
They also have narrowed the test bank down so you don't have to study as many questions. You also get a money back promise, and if you see a question(s) you didn't have in the studying on the test.....remember it and send it to them. They will usually give you your money back for that also! (It's how they keep things current!)
I can't say it enough, SA is the way to go! (Cheaper than most other options by quite a bit too!)

There is nothing inherently wrong with these test prep outfits in general, though the ATP knowledge test is no more difficult nor requires any more prep than any other airman test. And yes, no matter the method of test prep, especially after passing, you should actually learn the material...

Although simply passing an FAA written exam is "enough", it shows a lack of motivation to barely get by. Some airlines like Fedex used to want at least a 94-96% minimum on the Flight Engineer Written. Anything less was considered by them to be laziness on the part of the pilot. The answers are all out there. Best of Luck!
