Using Sheppard Air now for the ATP. I must say, having used Gleim software in the past, that this is like trying to learn the matrix with the memory aid. Frustrating as hell for me. Also, when studying you don't click on your answer choice, you pick an answer and reveal the correct one. No way to keep track of right and wrong except to mark the question for later study.
Much prefer Gleim's performance tracking feature.
If their question data base is updated frequently though then that is a plus for Sheppard.
Must embrace the differences (i.e. the suck) and just get it over with though.
You should have read the instructions first. If you follow their method to the T you will pass no questions asked.
Yes and no, have used sheppard air for cfii and well worth it with latest questions and may be cheaper.
At atp its nothing but sitting in front of a computer for eight hour and than taking the test if have consistent passing scores. Have talked to few pilots and recommended to buy a gleim book and study that way. It will
save money too.
Nope. ATP written taken before August of 2014 will only 'grandfather' you in for 24 calendar months.
Wow, someone else who didn't think Sheppard Air was all that. I thought I was alone. I think the money back guarantee is also only good if you get less than a 90 AND can give them a question that was on your test that isn't in their database.Just as a follow up. I just passed the ATP written. Had both the shepherd air and the ASA prep. My thoughts are this. Shepherd air has a money back guarantee which is good. But there software is not very intuitive, you can only install it on ONE computer, and the memory air sheet they gave me(all six pages) while neat for taking practice tests, didn't help during the actual test. For one, some of the tips they give you are wrong, and two not much of the questions from the cheat sheet were on the test.
As for the ASA products. The book is great because you can take it anywhere with you and study. It breaks down what you need to study vs. what you don't meaning ASA gives you all the questions but labels them as 135, 121, dispatch, etc... Whereas shepherd air doesn't have a book. As for the ASA ATP prep software, it was way above and beyond shepherd air. Looks just like a cats test, and it makes it very easy to study only the questions you dont know and weed through the ones you do know. Not to mention the fact that the ASA book and the ASA software combined were cheaper then the shepherd air. Lastly, the ASA software you can install on 2 computers plus it comes with a use anywhere web version of the software which is identical to the computer installed software and you access it from www.prepware.com.
So in closing, I really think shepherd air is overrated and overpriced. I think its great that some people swear by it, but in reality, its sub par compared to ASA. Lets face it, shepherd air is a small company vs. a large company like ASA which has the resources to do more research.
Just my .02 cents worth
