Sheppard Air is GREAT, don't get me wrong, but I'd say its better at being a memorization aid, less so a study aid.

If someone just wanted the best tool for passing the written, I'd recommend Sheppard Air...but not as a study aid, necessarily.


Agreed, Sheppard makes the test an eye test, the correct answers pop out at you with no thinking needed. After using Sheppard I got a 96% on the test with ease.

Sheppard Air! Took 4 written exams with their product and never scored below 96 on all exams. 2x100s with NO problems! Took the tests and within 2 seconds of seeing the question already knew the answer!

How many hours did you study to pass the written? Shepard is saying about 30, is that a realistic number?

I studied 3-4 hours a day for a week, so just under 30, the test took me less than 25minutes to take and I missed 2 questions. Like I said it was basically an eye test.

AFSOCFlyr, how long ago/when did you take the Test?



Sorry for the delay. It was probably 1.5-2yrs ago. Sheppard Air made it a piece of cake..

On these study guides like Sheppard, do NOT study for more than 7-10 days. Just cram it, do it, get it done.

If you are studying for a month+, you're just forgetting stuff and then learning it again, possibly incorrectly.

Knock it out in one sucky week.

I think your right. I've been looking at it little by little and that's not the way. I did a whole section answer only the again with all choices. Was so easy doing the recommended way.Took a practice test after that one section got 69. I figure I will just study one more section a neglect the others and that will push me over 70%. I know some people care about high score but I could care less. Never seen a check ride harder or easier over the score.

I used the ASA book back when I took the ADX. Dispatcher written is essentially the ATP with a couple of extra dispatch questions thrown in. I think that as long as you're constantly scoring in the 85-95% range on the practice tests for the various prep software out there, you'll do fine.
