Worked for me

  • By A Customer from USA on Wednesday, March 23, 2011
  • Pros: Chinese similar to US ATP
  • Cons: Nothing quite prepares you for the "Chinglish" encountered on the actual CAAC test.
  • Review: I acquired the Gleim ATP book to help me study for the Chinese ATP written. This was just another step in trying to get a job in China, and in addition to studying the various samples of the CAAC written questions, it was recommended also to study the Gleim ATP book. This turned out to be very much true, as the similarities in questions is "uncanny".
    Long story short, I passed the CAAC written on the first try.

  • Pros: Good format and explanation of answers to questions, great price
  • Cons: None
  • Review: No wasted time trying to figure out what to study. Covers everything you need to pass the test. I took the Part 135 section. Studied the material and answered the questions three times, took the practice exam at the end, then took the test. Passed with flying colors. Look at Gleim website for any updates to test questions if purchased later in the year.

all you need to pass the test

  • By Michael from Kettering OH USA on Tuesday, March 19, 2013
  • Review: Sometimes the lines are too thick to tell where they are pointing.  Buy this book and you will see what I mean.  Never the less, I did not buy any other aid and passed this test the first time.

Simple and works

  • By Casey from Ellensburg WA USA on Monday, November 19, 2007
  • Pros: Simple, well organized, color figures when needed
  • Cons:
  • Review: The way Gleim organizes the questions into a logical order makes studying much easier. It is designed to give you the knowledge to pass the test, not much more beyond that as it warns several times in the book. It's the way to go if you like studying with a book, otherwise - go for the cd version for more efficient studying.

Annoyed and dissatisfied

  • By Chris from Seattle, WA USA on Wednesday, July 30, 2014
  • Pros: Repetition and breaks down solutions
  • Cons: Takes forever to answer all questions and you waste your time
  • Review: I've used Gleim for my private SEL, instrument and FII. Passed all three with a 90, 85, and 90 respectively. I purchased the Gleim book again for the ATP deadline two months ago and was very disappointed. It's a huge book so I jumped into it and paid for the online ground school so I knew this test in and out. The biggest annoyance is how many pages there are of just repetition over things that are easy. 80 questions on how to calculate weight and balance on a Beech 1900. They take 5 minutes each and there are 80! After about 5 you get it down and you're ready to move on. What I was so disappointed over was the fact that I could tell you the ins and outs of the beech 1900, dc9, 737 and 727 along with all the other chapters for the 121 exam. Needless to say I was passing gleims practice tests and was confident I was ready. I failed the 121 exam with a 64%. Want to know how many questions I got on the beech 1900, dc 9, 737 or 727? Zero. That alone was half the book. My confidence is shaken with gleim, and I will be supplementing my next written with another test prep to ensure a passing score.

  • By Nicholas from Maywood NJ USA on Friday, January 18, 2013
  • Pros: Good explanations for each answer
  • Cons:
  • Review: It is not the best study guide for the ATP written due to the fact that it includes all the questions for the Dispatcher test as well. You end up studying a lot more questions that do not have the possibility of being on the test.

I got ripped off

  • By William Jensen from Ephrata , Wa on Friday, August 03, 2007
  • Review: I unknowingly recieved the last of the gleim 2007 manuals not the 2008...As soon as I recieved it It was being updated to reflect changes I need to know. I would have waited until the 2008 manual came out to purchase it if only the updating information had been known. [Editor note: The 2008 edition did not become available until eight weeks after your original purchase. The updates to all 11 questions that changed are freely available from Gleim or MyPilotStore.com. You can get them directly by visiting: http://www.gleim.com/support/updates/listing.php?bkID=35 ]
