Its a book that helps you pass but could use some work

  • By Anthony from Raleigh, NC on Tuesday, February 04, 2014
  • Pros: Answers right next to questions
  • Cons: needs a thorough revision.
  • 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.

Would recommend this book

  • By J' from Lynchburg VA USA on Tuesday, November 25, 2014
  • Pros: Summarize, all the questions
  • Cons: Not enough to understand all the concepts
  • 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.

Good

  • By A Customer from Lee, NH on Monday, April 02, 2007
  • Pros: Cheap
  • Cons: Still work
  • Review: Cheap way to pass the commercial written test. I like the little introduction followed by questions. Interesting I read a number of times the introduction and I was able to answer 90-95% of the questions correctly the first time. I only look at the questions twice. I got 98% and this was the only material I used for the test.

It does the job

  • By A Customer from Castro Valley CA USA on Thursday, June 12, 2008
  • Pros: Complete in covering the subject matter
  • Cons: Can be a bit more expansive in the narrative sections.
  • Review: Definitely complete and covered everything I needed to pass the written exam. The practice question were spot-on with answers briefly answered. It lacked in-depth subject treatment, but the authors caution "that the sole purpose of this book is to expedite your passing the FAA pilot knowledge test...". Divided into subject chapters and covers each subject briefly before a question and answer section. Also provides a good summary of the flight time required for the commercial license.
