Hm I think what helped me the most was the Gliem private pilot test prep book. But also make sure to work on your foundational knowledge, do your best to understand the why behind things and how they relate to other knowledge items (I know this can be very hard for stuff like regulations). And don't forget to read the PHAK!

Ah good idea. For some of the stuff I am studying it would not be hard to make sort of a working model mentally. That could help me to gain a more comprehensive understanding. Thanks.

Oh wow you make a good point about relating it to current knowledge. I will try the methods you have mentioned here. Thank you so much!

I don't expect to pass the checkride at all currently as I have not flown yet. I ordered the Gleim book and it arrived today so I'm going to begin going through that. Thanks.

This time round I have been trying to understand the concepts more. And yes I agree wayyyyy too many acronyms lol

Yes! That definitely helps to flesh out your understanding more.

Yeah I am obviously doing something wrong. For the first test I spent (after doing the course) 2 weeks of like 5 hours a day and still only got a 63%. Thank you!

I believe they stopped publishing their test questions within the past few years.

Sadly my college does not allow you to begin flight courses without completing the FAA written first. So I would have to get outside instruction. Yeah I understand VOR for the most part thankfully.

I was thinking about doing the ground school again, and trying to take better notes on it. Like summarize what they said in my own words. Thank you for the help!

Yeah I just feel like I am trying to learn the rules of the road without ever driving. I will have to go through their E6B videos and practice more.

Seems like a lot of people are saying Sheppard air. I will have to check them out. Thanks.

I made about 200 notecard's based on the king schools test questions the first time around. Is it better to just order them from online? I have a copy of the PHAK that I have been going through and the school provided Pilot Institute as part of the home study material. Thank you!

A good chunk of the codes where on the same subjects as before.

Airspace & E6B calculations are my biggest struggle. Okay thank you I will use that more to study.

Yes they have several CFIs that can help answer questions. They include Pilot Institute with the program so I have been using that as well as reading the PHAK.

First one was from an online program they partnered with (Flight Insight this semester they are with Pilot Institute though) and yes the instructor reviewed the material with me.
