Unrealistic -- I HOPE
by David from Smyrna GA USA
Pros: Better than nothing for a student with no idea what to expect
Cons: More tightly scripted than a Hitchcock film
Review: This set of CDs is a small amoiunt of material in a large package. And while I eagerly looked forward to learning about what to expect on my checkride, the "actors" were so textbook, so perfect, that I didn't know whether I should laugh or fear my checkride. I mean, the student was quoting chapter and verse from the FAR book. I sure hope my FAA examiner doesn't expect a memorizing robot, cause I'll fail!

Good technical content but just too technical blabber
by VaibhaV Sharma from Beaverton OR USA
Pros: Good technical content, clear voice.
Cons: Sounds like someone reading a book.
Review: I am preparing for my checkride right now and got this cd a month ago. They say this is an example of a "very well prepared candidate" and that is very accurate description. The problem is that what the CD sounds like is a non-technical person reading off the answers in a single monolithic (does have change of tone in the voice) readout at a specific speed. I feel the answers could have been simplified a bit for an average student to be able to memorize and answer.
For the technical content, the CD is good (like reading off a book) but for user friendlyness, it is average to low average. I have listened to it about 5 times completely end to end and still feel like I need to listen to it 10 more times apart from reading the Oral Exam guide questions at least 3 times).

Great Checkride Refresher/Study Tool
by Jim from Denver
Pros: Covered much more that the FAA will cover, that’s a good thing!
Cons: Did not review class B airspace clearance information.
Review: I found this product to be VERY helpful to me just prior to my FAA Check Ride. I listened to the audio in my car while driving to and from work. Certainly no substitute for studying, but a great refresher prior to the "big day".

by A Customer from Santa Cruz, CA
Review: I would rather have a DVD for this topic. Having both sound and a picture is better. Also in a DVD the student can be shown important things such as secitonal maps and etc. as it is done during the exam.
