Awesome test prepware
by nkaviate from Brookings SD USA
Pros: "Interactive" study/test sessions
Cons: none
Review: I found the Gleim software to be extremely helpful for written test prep. Way better than ASA's written test prep books. I studied Gleim pretty religiously for a good 3 to 4 weeks and scored a 92 on the IRA written. Can't complain about that

Great Test Study Guide
by Robert from Tempe AZ USA
Pros: Great bang for the buck
Cons: Confusing user interface
Review: I had previously passed the FAA Instrument test several years ago, accidently let it expire, and needed a quick cram session to retake it again. It definitely improved my score. The software is capable of asking you any or all of the questions you will see on the test. If you want the software to give you a legal FAA sign off form to take the official test, then you must answer all 938 questions. Plan on 7-10 days to answer all 938 questions. As a negative, the user interface was difficult to understand. For my situation, it wasn't clear if I should study or test sessions or just the standard test session. This was not apparent until I went through all the help guides. I ended using just the study sessions because they gave the best feedback, and the study sessions count towards the FAA sign off form. The Standard test session is great to see if you're ready for the real test, but are worthless if you want the sign off form. Be sure to take the official FAA test immediately after you study. Its amazing how fast I forgot some of the material.

best to prepare for written
by Marcel from Naperville IL USA
Pros: live upate, so questions are always current; I can use it on my laptop everywhere
Cons: none I explored / you can probably get a similar interface somewhere in the internet for free
Review: Use the FAA publications, the internet ;-) and disucssions with pilots/instructors to understand the topics and this CD to get ahead of the questions from the written exam. For me the most effective way to prepare for the written test and also reasonably cheap.

Good, but be careful with your updates!
by Doug from Savannah, GA
Pros: Quick and easy
Cons: Beware of updates
Review: I wrote an earlier review. Be careful with the updates. I was almost complete with my studies and the program asked to update and I OK'ed it. The update erases all performance history. I had to start over by answering the 650+ test question again to print the required Ground School certificate. Two weeks later I was took the Instrument Written Test but did not update for fear of loosing history again. Bad decision; there was another update out there two weeks later and the test changed. I was not familiar with the new questions. If you update you loose your performance history, if you do not you may get different questions than for which you have prepared for. A catch-22 situation. Overall a good product, however, when I called product support, I did not appreciate the "do not worry me with your problem attitude".

I will always use Gleim Test Preps
by Doug from Savannah, GA USA
Pros: Easy, Fast, Efficient and Guided Study to pass Test.
Cons: The study sheets are not the best so you will need a reference book with greater detail.
Review: I will always use Gleim Test Preps. I scored 98 using the Private Pilot program and now am using the Instrument Program. The performance tracking feature is great to direct the students efforts. A simple and direct tool. Several years ago, I used and CPA study tools; Gleim has a long history of quality products.

great Gleim Test prep
by Gene from Red Bank NJ USA
Review: The study guide is great. The test material charts, weather maps, and approach plates do not have very good resolution. When you zoom in the pictures get blury. Makes some things difficult to read. Very easy to setup test and study guides.
