Any regionals provide Sheppard Air test prep?

I'm looking at Shep AIr for the written and i'm curious if any companies provide the software at no cost? I'm looking at the website and see Republic among a few others that provide that during the CTP course. If not should I just buy it? I'm looking at being 1 month away from being within 1500 range and interviewing with interest in Republic,skywest, and compass

Agreed. Its worth every penny.

Ask for discount

Check with your airline if they know about a discount through the ATP CTP. I went through L3 and my airline told me to mention L3 to Sheppard Air for a discount. Paid $65 for the ATP ME written test prep.

Pretty sure the tsh airlines do. A lot of people like it. I got it but prefer the asa or gleim books myself

I’m sure you can afford it wit your 20-50k sign on bonus. ;)

Gleim is for learning the material. Sheppard is for passing the inane, worthless, terribly designed FAA test.

I mean, I have the ASA ATP application and oral guide, and i'm perplexed if there is any attribute that makes them more superior than ASA's test prep. Are the explanations different?

The material is the same but ShepAir provides you with a way to approach the material. Study guidance, practice tests, etc. if you follow their plan they guarantee you’ll get a 90+ or your money back. The people who fail the written are those who don’t use ShepAir.

Edit: they also have a very fluid test bank as people call and tell them questions they got wrong or new ones they’ve never seen. Also when studying ShepAir doesn’t list the same question 4 times with different wording each time. They just give you what’s on the test.

Money back If you don’t get at least a 90%... structured study guide and rules of thumb memory aides that allow you to move through sections quickly..l

Astute observation. I was once told by someone years ago that the FAA writtens are built by psychologists. If you think the FAA tests are bad they are nothing compared to the MMPI which I took for a non-flying job. Although you will take that or something similar and have a sit down if you interview at Delta. The Hogan at United I don't have knowledge of. American, who knows, someone tell me.
