You will also go NUTS in the process. If you have the time..i'd say just study.
Study! You've already taken it once... what else you have to do anyway??

I highly recommend the Sheppard Air Test Prep Software. It is basically the same as ALLATPS, but it won't cost you $300 and you can study at your own pace! I thought their software was great, it eliminates all the unnecessary questions and they guarantee that you'll get a 90% or money back. I took it a couple of years ago, studied for 2 days and got a 92. The software is $75.

Are you looking at getting the actual ATP anytime soon?

Is Sheppard an online test prep, then you take the written at a CATS testing facility?

No. You call up the number on the web site and they will give you a Password so you can download the software. No internet connection required when you use the software.

As far as getting the actual ATP, I did it locally where I live in a Seneca and an FTD. Even though I got my ATP paid for, I got away with it at a pretty reasonable cost. The FTD I used was a Precision Flight Controls set up as a Turbo Seminole @ $45/hr. A lot of the actual ATP ride can be done in the Sim, except the Single Engine Approach to Land and one or two other things. Look at the ATP PTS. The hardest part for me was getting back into flying dial gauges, using a Garmin 430, flying DME Arcs without an FMS, etc. I spend about 5 hours in the FTD doing approaches and maneuvers and about 2 hours in the plane before I took my checkride.

I thought someone on here said something about being able to use your expired written if you were furloughed...

I have been known to be wrong though
