Private Pilot Prepware from ASA
Now compatible with both PC and Macintosh systems!Announcing Prepware
2010, the FAA Knowledge Exam software that has been completely rewritten to take
advantage of advances in technology as well as incorporate feedback from
customers over the years. As with all previous versions, users can take
true-to-form practice exams and get immediate feedback on whatever test areas
need more work. Tailor-made practice sessions improve performance in the areas
you need to concentrate on the most to pass your test with flying colors!
Questions are supported by study guides and comprehensive explanations for
correct and incorrect answers. Instructors can create pop quizzes of any length,
on any subject matter, to supplement the study sessions. Each Prepware title
includes all aircraft categories (airplane, rotorcraft, glider,
lighter-than-air, powered parachute, weight-shift control). You tell the
software which test you're preparing for, and the study sessions and practice
tests are generated accordingly.
FAA Knowledge Exams Covered: Private and Recreational Pilot
(airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air, powered parachute, and
weight-shift control) tests included.
Features Include:
- Now compatible with both PC and Macintosh systems.
- CX-2 electronic flight computer is built into the program, accessed by a
click of a button during study sessions or simulated tests.
- Make and save user notes while studying in a Notes field, for
annotations and comments as you work.
- "Google"-like search capabilities…search for a word or phrase in the
entire database of questions, answers, and explanations.
- Build a follow-up quiz from your airman test report. The FAA doesn't
tell you which questions were wrong on your test—they only give you the
subject matter knowledge codes. You can plug the codes into the program to
create a custom post-test follow-up, which is required prior to taking your
checkride.
- Simulates the CATS testing center in screen layout, buttons, program
navigation; replicates what you'll see when you take your official FAA exam.
- You can choose to print results, or e-mail them to your ground or flight
instructor to obtain endorsement to take the FAA test.
- Built-in study guides are there at a click of a button for study
sessions, with the same comprehensive text and figures found in ASA's
popular Test Preps and Fast-Track Test Guides.
- Performance history reflects individual tests, not just cumulative
performance. View a performance graph depicting total score and a score for
each subject, as well as review the test (shows your selected answer, the
correct answer and explanation).
- All figures are available onscreen. The printed
FAA Computer Testing
Supplement (CT-8080) is sold separate.
- Download and automatically update the database each time the FAA
releases new or changed questions; also, the free email subscription service
keeps you informed anytime a change is made.
- Realistic test simulation, study and review models, detailed performance
graphs, comprehensive study guides and built-in timers give you the
confidence you need to ace your FAA exam. Whether you choose to simulate an
actual FAA test, or study specific subjects and questions, Prepware has the
tools you need.
Also included is the instructor utility, QuizMaker, to generate pop quizzes
or exams using actual FAA questions. Quizzes can be of any length and on any
specific or combination of subjects or subject matter knowledge codes. You can
print exams, student answer sheets, and instructor master correction keys for
quick grading, or save the tests so your students can take these electronically.
ASA's Prepware combines all the information applicants will find in the Test
Prep Series. Prepware gives you everything you need to be confident and prepared
for your FAA Knowledge Exams.

Not for hot air balloon pilots
by Mike in PA from Doylestown PA USA
Pros: I passed my test!
Cons: It would be nice if someone would sort this out for hot air balloon content.
Review: This is a nice alternative the the Private Pilot Prep book. Unfortunately, like the book, it doesn't differentiate between hot air balloon and airship questions. When you try to build a practice test or study session, you are burdened with sorting through material that actually applies to what you'll see on the test.

Excellent Study Tool
by Justin from Los Angeles, CA
Pros: Isolating missed questions, differentiating ACFT categories, similar format to test
Cons: Have to buy another book you don't really need to get the testing supplement
Review: Prepware was a near-painless way for me to do well on the written exam. I'm a helicopter pilot, so I was very pleased that they break up the rotorcraft questions so you're not answering too many questions that don't even apply to your airframe (or will be on your test). The only downfall is that you need to buy the corresponding ASA book in order to get the "computer testing supplement" which has all the charts, graphs, etc that you need. you can get them on the program, but how are you going to measure angles and distance on your screen? A bit of money when all is said and done, but worth it.

I highly recommend this software for anyone preparing to take the FAA written.
by Louise from Salt Lake City UT USA
Pros: Mac compatible, good price, easy to use.
Review: Great product! I have a Mac so I was really happy to find software that was compatible, it was easy to install and all the different study session subject areas were presented with clear & concise explanations. The practice tests were invaluable and just like the real thing, it made studying actually enjoyable!

97% on written exam

Review: It is just like the actual exam.

Great help for FAA written
by Adam from Carlisle PA USA
Pros: Flexible, thorough, well designed, top tool for exam prep
Review: Prepware is a great way to *test* yourself in advance the FAA exam; I still prefer books to study. Prepware lets you run through several different testing protocols, generating its own tests with random Q&A, or letting you design tests within specific knowledge areas yourself. It is pretty easy to use, and cross platform. The immediate grading is nice, and it's always gratifying to see color-coded results in the green. I think I owe a large part of my very nice FAA test score to Prepware. In addition, when I did have a tech support question, I go a response within hours.

by Dale from Roseville MN USA
Pros: Easy to use, fast and it works on Apple Macintosch computers.

Fantastic Training Tool
by Kenny Ray from Atoka TN USA
Pros: Easy to navigate; Ability to do a quick short study session if that's all you have time for.
Cons: I haven't come across anything bad about this product.
Review: An invaluable tool for preparing for the written and for remembering things you need to know after the fact. The one thing that would make it better would to be having it linked to an item like my private pilot CD-ROM courses to go back for review of missed items.

by A Customer from Minnesota
Review: This product was the reason I passed my FAA exam. It was a huge help and my gorund school instructor is the one who put me on to it. He used the same software. Could make all the difference in a pass or fail on the exam.
