Hey guys sorry about the random blue blotches on the screen 😂Its just the way it was recorded I promise that does not happen on the test prep guide. Thank you!
A good approach for anyone taking a FAA Knowledge test. Scott B, CFI
Weight and Balance, my eternal nemesis
Congrats buddy fly high
College professor had us do 60 weight and balance questions in an hour 😤😤😤 first time getting the quiz done i ran out of time with 20 questions left!!
I thought it was just me lol
Naaaah!
Funny enough, I didn’t get a single weight and balance question on my written, but I would definitely recommend studying them just in case.
@@videogameplayer0552 me neither!! But 100% do!
I passed my checkride! This information definitely helped
That is amazing dude! Congratulations and have fun being a pilot. Go to your dream airport and get the $100 burger 🎉
@@kevw172100 burger?! Lmao I have never heard of this?
@@martinjimenez7392 100$ to fly out to an airport and go to the airport restaurant. I plan on that this summer!
Nice video man!
Great video bro ..very helpful. I really appreciate it!
Nice job and great tips. It’s always about studying smarter or taking good notes !
dude im so happy i stumbled apon your video and so happy this software is out there!!!!!
Its very helpful for the PAR test. If you're planning on commercial next supplement it with kings or sheppard air, you'll do extremely well combining them.
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
Congrats bro! Have fun up there and fly safe.
I passed the rest of my exams except for instructor!
Thanks for the heads up bro it's really nice to know the preparations required on the test
Not much to it! Really easy if you know the basics.
This video is very helpful thank you! For instrument exam's ive been told to use Sheppard air software as its word for word on the test questions.
Yes! Honestly I took my CAX in May and I wouldve failed if I didnt use sheppard. Im using it for my IRA currently but Gleim is excellent for private!
@@kevw172 just wanna say I passed thanks to your tips, thank you a lot for the clarity on what to focus on and what to not worry ab.
@@AC_Twig Good job! Now that your test is done and out of the way you can gear towards the finish line more! Also study anything you missed on the test! It shouldve come with your report of ACS codes. I mentioned that in my oral exam preparation video.
Hi Kev, u r a Savage !
Hey all, little disclaimer about what to do when you get to your testing center. So each place actually has their own policies with what you can and what you cant have on you taking your test. I STRONGLY advise to take your test at an airport testing center if there's one available within reason. I took my IFR written 3 weeks ago at an airport an hour away from me but it was a much easier experience with wait time, checking in, and less strict security measures. There is usually nobody taking a different test than you so you don't need to wait for a spot as long as if you went to a general testing center.
Do not sweat these tests. If you follow my strategy you cant get lower than a 70%. If you do not want to pay for a test prep guide, you still have free FAA books but I still highly recommend reading the private pilot testing supplement and be familiar with the figures and know what they mean. Everything that will appear on the test is in the testing supplement book which is also provided for free online.
Can i have the link

I read you can use the electric E6B flight computer during the exam. Do you know this to be true?
BTW, great videos bro. I bought a few of the books you recommended from your other videos.
I actually heard you can! Just make sure nothing else other than your E6B and plotter.
Yes you can bring in an electronic E6B. I used the Sporty's version on my exam. There's a small instruction card that comes with it, leave it at home or in your car as it's not allowed. You can also bring in what ever plotter you prefer. I used one from ASA.
Read your FAR's
When you register for the test they tell you what you can and cannot bring into the testing facility. You can bring an E6B, plotter and that's about it. They provided those items at my facility as well as scratch paper, pencils, marker and plastic overlay. Make sure you have fresh batteries in your E6B. Mine died an hour before the test while I was already at the airport. The FBO had batteries. I never turned on my E6B during the test. 😂
Is sporty's practice written Exam good source too use as well?
And also are you allowed to use the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement for Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Remote during the test?
Ive heard very good reviews about sportys! you can check it out if you'd like. Also the testing center should give you the testing supplement. Gleim uses charts and diagrams directly from the testing supplement. So if you don't plan on using Gleim, I recommend reviewing it and its provided online for free.
I used Sportys and also got 95% on the written. I failed Sportys practice test a day before the written. 😂 they give you the 60 hardest questions! For a few days I studied all of Sportys practice questions and reviewed why the answer is correct. Many questions are duplicated or very similar. Once you get used to the quirky way the FAA writes the questions it's alot easier. Sportys recommends getting 80%+ on two practice tests and that's a good idea. There were only a few questions on the written that I hadn't seen before. The majority were very easy questions with really obvious answers. I was laughing through most of the test. I was done in 30 minutes. Also you can flag or skip a question to come back to later and also review all of your questions and answers.
So, read the books and use an online test prep service.
Ive taken 3 writtens so far and never got below an 85% seems to work fine 👍👍
I didn’t read the books that much for my private written and got an 85%. I did however take an in person ground school class, and used sporty’s practice tests and went through their question bank over and over until I was getting high scores. The general consensus among pilots, at least on places like Reddit is that for every written after private, you should use Sheppard Air, which I’m using so far for instrument.
Cs get certs cloud cowboys 😎
I scored 100% 45 years ago!
if this is true what was it like taking the test then?
@kevw172 good question. Honestly I can't remember. What I was accutlty aware of was the consequences of NOT knowing.
So your saying instead of actually learning the material, to just memorize the questions?
I mean when you're done learning the material related to the questions, I don't see a real issue with it. There's a lot of systems, weather and federal regulation related questions so when you practice the questions its almost just as similar as if you were reading it from a book or video. For the questions with the charts, look into them further. Especially because of how micro precise you have to be for them.
I recommend buying gleim and memorizing every question I got 100%
@@charliewoody8408 Congratulations!
Do both. Use Sporty’s video ground school and question bank for private pilot written, and Sheppard Air, which is basically rote memorization for every written after that. Once you pass the written, use something like Sporty’s ground school to actually learn the material, which you’ll need to do to pass the checkrides.
😂 weight & balance🤦♂️
I didn’t get any weight and balance questions on my written, but it’s random so make sure you study them just in case.
Borrow your books bro
