Wish I knew about that sheppard deal, could have saved some cash, ATP is a quick way to do it as well but it does cost a bit more.

Do I study only the parts that relate to ALL and the 121 because that is what I am taking it for? Just curious because I have my test next week! Thanks in advance!

Study all of the "general" topics, and studying the Part 91 and Part 121 only. Don't concern yourself with learning the 135 regs because you either take a "121 ATP written" or a "135 ATP written."

I personally did the All ATP's program. Like everyone else, I was in at 8am, and out a little after lunch time with a passing score.

Good luck in your studies. Keep your eye on the prize, because studying out of a book that is twice the thickness as the Commercial Written study guide, can be very discouraging at times...

Good luck bud!

Thanks for all the advice. I was thinking of using sheppard air, but for my interview, I have been told is much harder than the ATP written but same material so I think I am going to have to suck it up and actually study the thing! Thanks Again.

Are the multiple choice questions at airline interviews the same as on the ATP written?

From my experience, they have been pretty simular. Alot of places also through in some Jepp questions as well.

Question...

I'm thinking about applying to Eagle, and taking the ATP written beforehand...however, doesnt the written exam expire after 24months, and with a 4-5 year upgrade (at best) what's the point? Should I still take it to "look competitive?"

Save your self even more time and go to All ATP spend the money and take the test. Gaurentened to pass or you money back! They tell you not to study before hand.

Sheppard Air program hands down. Studied for a week (could've done it in a day or two) and got a 99. 75 for the program and 90 for the test gives a total of 165 dollars. That is cheaper than ATPs program.
