Great Product
by Ellery from New York NY USA
Pros: Concise, Effective
Cons: Topics not covered in depth so other resources must be used
Review: This is a great study guide and I'm glad I picked it up. It doesn't go into too much detail on the subjects, it just gives you the key points you need to know for the test. This is good as it cuts to the chase, but this also means you need to complement this book with other sources. I use the jeppessen textbook and videos, as well as the KING videos as well. Also, the publisher (Gleim) also sells software which covers the exact same material as the book. I have both software and book... I suggest you purchase the software first since it offers tons (including practice exams, study sessions, etc), and then get this book if you feel more comfortable pulling out a book than a laptop all the time.

cheap, easy, and sucessful
by from
Pros: cheap, easy, efficient, and effective
Cons: none
Review: Don't waste hundreds of dollars on those DVD study-prep courses. This book is much more efficient. You can bring this study guide wherever and whenever you want, no computer or batteries required. Preceding the test questions in each chapter is a short study guide. The study guide is all you need to know in order to answer every question. This keeps studying short and simple. I studied this book chapter by chapter and went over all the questions. Took the exam for the first time and got a 95%. During the knowledge test, I recognized nearly every question from this book. I still study and review this book as a private pilot to retain my aeronautical knowledge. This is worth you time, money, and effort.

indispensable
by Cap'n Wally from Carlsbad NM USA
Pros: Straightforward content. Comprehensive.
Cons: none
Review: This publication is very well laid out. Any student can use the material to greatly improve their written test scores, given the number of vague or poorly done questions on the private pilot written exams.

Excellent Written Exam Guide
by A Customer from Fort Walton Beach FL USA
Review: This Guide does everything I was looking for: all current FAA questions (on three different/similar tests), the answers, and the explanation why/why not for each; rules and methods in performance/knowledge areas. Everything I needed to prep for the test in a very practical manner; that's what I wanted, and got.

Works well enough
by Dillon from Ocala FL USA
Pros: Works very well, inexpensive
Cons: Very, very dry reading, some concepts could be explained better
Review: The Gleim system works very well to prepare you for your test, but don't expect it to be very fun.

Excellent refresher text
by Mark from San Pedro CA USA
Pros: Very concise. Tells you exactly what you need to know.
Cons: Some folks may be tempted to use it as their only exam prep. Do not do this as it's not intended for that.
Review: As an AGI/IGI I've used the text as a final review for my students facing the Private Pilot exam with excellent results.

Gleim always comes through...
by scott from Madison AL USA
Pros: Good information, gets you ready for the test.
Cons: It ONLY gets you ready for the test, dont forget there's more.
Review: With essentially no other method of study, I passed with PPL written with a 94%, 3 weeks after recieving the book. Gleim works!

A VERY COST EFFECTIVE STUDY AID
by A Customer from Moore SC USA
Pros: Not a lot of time needed to get to the material to pass the test.
Cons: The addition of the CD-ROM would have been a good supplement.
Review: I liked the format. The Gleims got right to the point. Subsection reviews followed by actual test questions is an excellent learning aid. When I found an area that I was weak in, I immediately could go to other, more in depth references to clarify the subject. I just wish that I had purchased the Gleim CD-ROM FAA Test Prep at the same time. I think the combination would have been the most useful to get through the test material faster and more thoroughly.
