ADX Test Question

Hey, I am going to try to get my ADX out of the way before I get to Dispatcher school. I'm kind of confused about this test and I feel like the internet lacks information on it. I recently just decided that I wanted to become a dispatcher & decided to go to school for it. Where can I find the information to study and if anyone has any study tips for the ADX it would be appreciated.

So far all I know is this is what I'm supposed to be studying:

The ADX is the dispatch version of the ATP written, IIRC.

Gliem has a good study guide/book and there are CD versions with questions presented in the various vendors formats.

BTW, what is your background and what leads you to look into dispatch?

I did CTI in College for ATC. I wanted to stay in something aviation related but ATC doesn't look like it's going to work out for me.
 
I used the Gleim ATP Test Prep Software to study for the test. If you call Gleim, and let them know you'll be taking the ADX, they'll hook you up with the correct software.
 
I recommend Sheppard air software. It's got some good memory techniques. The test is bs and has little application for the practical and oral exam
 
Another source is the ASA Test Prep book for the ATP and the accompanying app for iOS or Android that runs about $10 the last I checked.

Lots of good resources between the three listed here. Most of passing the ADX is rote memorisation.
 
if you check the pilot threads, they all swear by Sheppard air which REEK referenced above.
Some pilots have told me that they studied 2 days and passed with >90%. I have also seen many postings with the same conclusion.
But they had real flying experience so ....take that for what it's worth. ttfwiw.?
 
I hear the same thing about Shepard Air. I just assume that like me, not everyone has the $100 to shell out for it. The ASA app makes a nice fallback option.
 
There is a 10 dollar app that will let
you download the ASA test bank
can't really read the figures but everything else is covered
 
To add my 2 cents to the thread. I just passed my ADX written on Wednesday along with 4 others in my class. Of the 5 of us one person was using Sheppard Air and there are a few others in class that are as well. While I don't argue that it can be a helpful tool, it is not an absolute need. In the end for us that didn't use the program it was the basics of paying attention in class, asking questions, and studying at least a couple hours every night that allowed us to pass the written. Lastly I think one of the biggest things to remember is to not get stressed and overwhelmed. It is alot of information at a fast pace. Take it one day at a time and one step at a time and you'll be fine.

Im sorry, but what does that even mean? "Don't do all 15 chapters in one day" ....
Like I was saying, a number of pilots have been very successful using Sheppard tool to study...One day at a time and then another day. Two days...separately. And they passed.

it means take it one day at a time...don't try to cram everything in. You got to actually understand what it is you are trying to 'learn.'

Go for the Gleim and get both the software and the book. Just my opinion!

do you know how much that costs? I'm thinking about taking the adx before shcool. trying to find the cheapeest study guide for the adx. i get the imperssion its not as improtant for knoweledge retiontion from what other have poseted.
 
On mypilotstore.com...it looks like the book is about $33, and the software is about $57. Really you can do either or, don't have to have both. The software is nice because you can do practice tests.
