The first time, I had the videos plus the unofficial master question book, and it took a month to get through both prior to the test. The next time was for my commercial, multi, and instrument upgrades, and I took a 1 day prep class where we went over the applicable paragraphs and all of the known questions for those tests. I preferred the class approach by far :)

Good luck!

Do they still publish all the questions and answers in test prep books? They used to back in the early 90's.

Post by: Somerled on December 14, 2010, 02:41:02 PM: I just took a sample PP test online, and scored an 80. Not bad for someone who has not flown since 1990, and has no idea what class D airspace is.

/comes from the time when I had to memorize TCA airspace rules and the upside down wedding cake.
