Hmm.. answers that I was expecting :-} I'm good at memorization but I can't see memorizing the answers for stuff like that. I can get the answer "they" want if I work it the way "they" do, so that'll be good enough for me. Now, some of those flight planning questions might be fun. Sigh.

The current test is based on rote knowledge and giving the answer that is marked (even if incorrect). In the grand scheme of things you will learn more about being an ATP after you have an ATP than you will with a silly multiple guess test.

That makes sense except for the crew weights are given for each loading condition and they are all different. I bet that's what is going on though, the idiots that made the loading conditions chart for the FAA question didn't realize that the BOW already includes crew.

SIGH.

You can't because you don't have the memory aids or the shortened question bank. You are doing it the hard way the longest way and will probably get a much worse score doing it this way. Don't be a fool, get sheppard air. I took the ATP written twice bc it ended up expiring before I had the hours. Used sheppard air twice. Got a 95 and a 96. I took BOTH TESTS IN UNDER 10 minutes! Stop trying to learn worthless non sense

I'm planning to download SA tomorrow morning. It truly pains me that ASA has let me down so badly and that money gone to waste... the ASA prep has not impressed me at all from the get go.
