Same here, I start CTP next week and I was about to start with Sheppard. I guess we gotta trust them. They updated today and said they're adding the questions. We'll see

So Shepperd Air's business model means relying on people who just took the ATP written test to report back to them all of the questions and answers so that they can be republished?

Yes that’s why they are “the best.” The only software you can get that offers actual test questions

I'd be surprised if they didn't send people in there to take the tests themselves. They're usually head and shoulders above any other FAA-related prep program when it comes to test material.

That seems highly unreliable since the test takers will have to memorize the questions.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they have their own testing facility somewhere. A place where the rules are more like guidelines.

It wouldn't have to be all the questions, just ones you didn't see studying. If you have dozens of people taking the test everyday you'll have the question bank in a few days.

Quite literally in the last century the Acme School of Aviation in Ft. Worth did the same thing and published their "blue books" of test questions.
