I studied for 3-4 hours in the evening for 3 days then took the test and got a 100%. It's definitely possible if you make it a priority.

How to treat RPAs



With contempt. And the "operators" as unwelcome and unqualified. Amazon, however, may have some openings soon.

Right now I'm unfortunately knee deep in my POS online master's degree that the AF so desperately wanted me to get. The Sheppard Air study material is what I hear good things about, so I think I'm going to go that route. There are also a few CFIs in the squadron that teach locally, so I'm working on that.

Guard/Reserve apps are in the works as well, but unfortunately it looks as if the AF has changed the rules on us again. I think they were surprised at the response to the VSP and now have to re-evaluate their force shaping plan. The next 12 months should be interesting, but I'm doing everything I can to make sure I'm ready when my time to separate comes.

Mine was. I got a 99% after a 6-8 hour day in front of the computer

The MC-12 is no longer taking pilots.

I studied the Sheppard Air stuff for 24 actual hours for my ATP but I like to be over prepared and maybe I'm not the smartest tool in the shed either. I made in the high 90s.

Sheppard Air includes study gouge in their paperwork. Follow it closely and you will succeed.

I thought there were still guard opportunities, but that's only 2nd hand.

As for the ATP, I studied for 3 weeks at about an hour a day and got 100%. It was so mind numbing I couldn't do more and pay any attention.
