Excellent
- By Jade from Thornton CO USA on Monday, May 4, 2015
- Pros: Specific, concise.
- Review: This book addresses the knowledge on two levels, it specifically deals with the questions that an applicant will see on the exam and the information in the way the FAA wants to see it, but it also does a good job of explaining the concepts. I wouldn't write an FAA exam without one of these references.

Review:
Very good book to pass the exam with a good grade. Contains all the questions and very good summarize of what you need to know.
However, it is better to start studying with the FAA book available on their website to be proficient and pass the checkered.

Its a book that helps you pass but could use some work
- By Anthony from Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, February 4, 2014
- Pros: Answers right next to questions
- Review: Really helped understand most of the math problems and I like how it breaks up each part in sections with the practice test in the back which helps you take a simulated one. Though the questions need to be revised. I used this and the dauntless online software and made a 87. I used dauntless more and they have a lot more questions than gleim. Also, some of the questions dauntless had were not in the gleim book and I saw those on the test.
