Gonna have to disagree. Used Shep Air. Not a single ? Was on my written. 80% of my test was DC3 performance. Good luck. We are all counting on you.

I am using Sheppard as well. Trying to figure out how much time per day to dedicate to it? I take my test in just over a month.

Also for those using Shep Air:

Follow their study instructions! Don't try and memorize it like a mil MQF. I didn't listen at first and wasted about two weeks. Then spent ~3 weeks (WAG. study as much as you need to) using their method(s) studying 2hr max per day and scored something in the 90s.

Memorize their graphs and memory aides for the applicable sections and recreate them on your scrap paper as soon as they allow you to get started on the test.

Personally, I feel like Gleim is a better study aid. Far clearer and more thorough explanations for right and wrong answers.

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.
