Gleim is good - alone or in class.

  • By Steve from Porterville CA USA on Monday, December 30, 2013
  • Pros: Concise instruction, good 'correct' and 'incorrect' answer explanations.
  • Cons: If you don't understand an explanation, you'll need to ask someone or Google for help.
  • Review: I have used Gleim to pass the private, commercial, and advanced ground instructor/ CFI written exams.
    Now, in a group study setting, I assist pilots in learning from the Gleim Instrument Pilot Written Exam Guide. The guys like it. After years of attempting to pass this exam, they feel like they can pass it this time.
    I feel confident that they will be prepared for the exam.
    Gleim will 'sign them off', something I can't do for them.

Gleim is good - alone or in class.

  • By Steve from Porterville CA USA on Monday, December 30, 2013
  • Pros: Takes you through the essentials without excess commentary.
  • Cons: You still need the FAR/AIM, charts, etc. (order the whole set from Gleim)
  • Review: I have studied and instructed from this book. Private, then commercial, advanced ground instructor, then instructor of students seeking their private pilot rating. I've 'brought up' three groups of people through this book. It works when you use it like you plan to succeed.
    Buy the book, pass the written, then begin flying lessons.

Worth (Almost) Every Penny

  • By Steve from Little Rock AR USA on Tuesday, May 07, 2013
  • Pros: Lots of great information to help you pass the exam.
  • Cons: Does not cover everything (possibly to entice you into the Gleim Ground School).
  • Review: The chief CFI at the flight school where I'm planning to get my instrument rating recommended this book to use as a study aid for the exam. I bought it and studied it cover to cover. I passed the exam on the first try with a 90%.

    The book does not cover everything, which I discovered after working through the ASA Instrument Exam Prep book as well.

Best test prep ever

  • By Kathryn from Williamstown NJ USA on Wednesday, September 18, 2013
  • Pros: The explanations for the answers that reference what book and section the question is from is great
  • Cons: Some of the pictures are distorted and hard to read the information
  • Review: I have used and reccommended the gleim test prep for 20 years, so when it came to taking my CFII written I was happy with the results once again. I usually tell my students to go through the book 4 times and answer all the questions so that none are a surprise. I scored a 92 on the instrument and was quite happy with that.

  • Review: I ordered the book for my class and it came in great condition. In the "special instructions" box, I requested that a puppy be drawn on the inside cover so I have something to smile at while I study during the semester, and they did it. I would like to thank whoever drew the puppy from the bottom of my heart, they deserve a raise. :)

Gleim's written reviews for pilot knowledge tests work for me

  • By Alan J. Folk from Wauconda, Il on Friday, February 06, 2009
  • Pros: The explanations given for the right answers are easy to understand and help clarify why a specific answer is correct.
  • Cons: Figure out some way to read and answer the questions without accidentally uncovering the answers.
  • Review: I have taken five knowledge tests using the Gleim exam guides which included obtaining an Instrument rating.My test results have always been much better than satisfasctory. I think they continue to put out an excellent product.
