A must buy
- By Nicholas from Ocala FL USA on Sunday, May 10, 2015
- Pros: Covered all areas of the test and some
- Cons:
- Review: If you want to breeze through the ground test, then the Gleim private pilot written exam guide is a must. Gleim had all the test questions that were asked on the test in their study course. Finished the test in less then an hour, scoring an 88. I had no back ground knowledge or training before I look the test and am currently building my air time. What can I say, but it works.

The Perfect Self Teaching Tool
- By Paul from Big Bear City CA USA on Tuesday, November 04, 2014
- Review: After using the Gleim Sport Pilot materials I knew that I very much wanted the Gleim Private Pilot course. I passed both my Sport Pilot and Private Pilot FAA knowledge tests at 90%. But more than this I have great retention of the knowledge I learned. It is a great supplement to the lessons I learn with my CFI. Recommended highly!

A most valuable tool!
- By Jonathan from Hanover NH USA on Wednesday, September 18, 2013
- Pros: Well organized; contains most of the questions you'll face on the written.
- Cons:
- Review: This is a very clear, organized and helpful guide to prepare you for your Written test. Mastering this will enable to garner you a high score. Mine was 95%! I would recommend an approach to landing of doing every question, at least once, and mostly twice, as you study from your other pilot resources.

best product for FAA written prep
Well prepared for exam and easily passed
- By Michael Tenenbaum from Plainview NY on Wednesday, May 28, 2014
- Pros: Nothing was on the FAA exam that was not covered in Gleim
- Cons: The diagrams are not very clear but it should not be a problem to pass the exam
- Review:
This is NOT a textbook that will discuss stuff that will not be on the exam.
This is a book that will get the reader through the knowledge exam first time out. I completed all eleven units and passed the exam with a 93%. I did not attend any ground school. Instead I bought the Gleim Online Ground Course for $100 which when completed provides the user with the instructor's endorsement that enables one to take the FAA knowledge test - Was this review helpful to you?

Great product
- By Don from Greenville, SC USA on Monday, July 01, 2013
- Pros: These are most of the questions. Very well laid out. Online updates.
- Cons: It gets you ready for the test (the reason for the book!!) but you need other books to learn to fly.
- Review: We first used this is a class I was taking. Great product and passed the test with flying colors. I moved and took some classes (not related) at a local Tech College let the test lapse - dumb, I know. I reviewed several and bought another test prep book and did not like it at all so I came back to Gleim. I think that it is a great choice.

- By Jeff from Houston TX USA on Wednesday, May 31, 2017
- Pros: Well structured to drill in the facts
- Cons: Some incorrect answers
- Review: This book definitely contributed to my high score. If used correctly, it forces one to learn the correct answers. There are at least 2 questions where the answers are just plain incorrect. Otherwise, a good study tool.

Tool for Teaching
- By James from Walterboro SC USA on Thursday, July 13, 2017
- Pros: Eliminates things not needed for the exam
- Cons: No negative comments
- Review:
I conduct a Private Pilot Course for the Young Eagles program in Walterboro, S.C. The Gleim Private Pilot Written Exam is my outline for the course. Students purchase one and we use the FAA Pilot's Handbook of Knowledge as our textbook. The Gleim book provides all we need for review and topics to discuss.
Great book for exam preparation.

More thorough than Most
- By Mike from Valley Cottage NY USA on Tuesday, September 11, 2012
- Pros: Comprehensive
- Cons: It can be dense at times.
- Review: The guide challenges you rather than spoon feeds you. It makes you think and thinking about the material is far more effective than memorizing it, which you will never do. It takes theory and concept and puts them into practice. It's the first guide that made me take pencil to paper and made me think.

- By Tania from San Diego CA USA on Tuesday, June 29, 2021
- Review:
I really liked this book to review after studying for my PAR with Kings School.
It is a great addition to my library. It is concise on explanations and has great questions. It it is the kind of book that you can have with you all the time and have a look at it when bored :)
Would highly recommend for anyone that is studying for the PAR, or even for someone that needs a refresher. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 2 Other people found this review helpful.

A Tremendous Resource for the Written Exam
- By Paul from Greenwich CT USA on Wednesday, December 07, 2011
- Pros: Concise information, easy to understand - very helpful
- Cons: None
- Review: I have been using the Gleim Exam guide in parallel with Ground School classes at my Flight School. While the classes provide a thorough review, the Gleim guide summarizes the key points for each topic in a very easy to understand manner. The questions with a review of the answers are also extremely useful and really help to reinforce the information. I would highly recommend this book to any student pilot preparing for the exam.

- Review: I bought this to get a better picture of what to expect on the FAA written test. This book is perfect for that. But I also ended up getting a simplified perspective on information I had already studied. In the end, I not only have a great idea what will be on the test, but I now have a better understanding of important information.

cheap, easy, and sucessful
- By on Friday, September 18, 2009
- Pros: cheap, easy, efficient, and effective
- Cons: none
- Review: Don't waste hundreds of dollars on those DVD study-prep courses. This book is much more efficient. You can bring this study guide wherever and whenever you want, no computer or batteries required. Preceding the test questions in each chapter is a short study guide. The study guide is all you need to know in order to answer every question. This keeps studying short and simple. I studied this book chapter by chapter and went over all the questions. Took the exam for the first time and got a 95%. During the knowledge test, I recognized nearly every question from this book. I still study and review this book as a private pilot to retain my aeronautical knowledge. This is worth you time, money, and effort.

This book delivers 100% as promised
- By John from Apollo PA USA on Saturday, November 21, 2009
- Pros: Covers a lot of material in a thorough manner.
- Cons: Supplement with a live course taught by an experienced pilot.
- Review: Each unit, based on areas covered by the FAA Written Exam, begins with a concise coverage of the material followed by pages of sample multiple choice Q&A's. Studying the wrong answers' explanations can be as imformative as studying the right ones. Other books such as the FAA's Airplane Flying Handbook are needed to cover other material. There's a lot more to flying than passing the FAA Written Exam.

Does the job well
- By Craig from Westerville OH USA on Monday, April 10, 2017
- Pros: well-structured and easy to get reps on calculated material
- Cons: a fair amount of corrections to apply
- Review: I used both this guide and the ASA test prep guide to recently pass my PPL Written exam. I liked how the question discussion was separated from the answers on each side of the sheet, so it was easy to block out the answers and not "cheat" yourself. I also liked how they added a lot of repetition on certain segments.

A VERY COST EFFECTIVE STUDY AID
- By A Customer from Moore SC USA on Wednesday, January 07, 2009
- Pros: Not a lot of time needed to get to the material to pass the test.
- Cons: The addition of the CD-ROM would have been a good supplement.
- Review: I liked the format. The Gleims got right to the point. Subsection reviews followed by actual test questions is an excellent learning aid. When I found an area that I was weak in, I immediately could go to other, more in depth references to clarify the subject. I just wish that I had purchased the Gleim CD-ROM FAA Test Prep at the same time. I think the combination would have been the most useful to get through the test material faster and more thoroughly.
