Going to start studding for the ATP written. What source did you use for it and would you use it again?
You're working in 135 right now. Hit up some weather stuff (via the FAA for free...they've got a weather section in a few of their training manuals) and the weight and balance stuff (weight shift, etc. - same deal...check out the weight and balance handbook for free on the faa's website) and go take the test. You shouldn't have many/any problems.

Sheppard Air!!!!

I used them a few years ago for my written, studied for two days and got 92%, and I used them again about a month ago to study for an airline interview and they gave me a discount on the software. Good program, you can study at your own pace on your own computer and great customer service.

Another vote for sheppardair. Totally painless.
 
I've had the software from Dauntless since before the instrument and it's always worked well for me. Based off of what I've seen if you're working in the 121 world the Sheppard Air stuff is a no brainer, if you're in 135 it's a toss up.
 
I used the Gleim cause I wanted to save money, studied about a month and only got half way through the book. I got tired of studying so I ordered the Shepherd Air course and studied one day and got a 96%.
 
What is it about the Sheppard course that causes it to yield such favorable results?

They pull out all the dross and essentially force you to study the questions in the most efficient manner...to wit look at the question with all the answers and the correct one highlighted first, rather than try to guess and remember, which is most people's natural inclination. This is as best as I recall, but it worked well for me, too. Plus their support is excellent.
 
I bought the ASA test prep book, because they include the actual FAA figures reference books. So it gives you a chance to familiarize yourself with the real deal.
 
Nothing wrong with ASA, but just FYI, the Sheppard guys include the diagrams in the computer product, too. When I used it it was a little cumbersome to view them, but I heard they fixed that. YMMV, etc etc.
 
Im doing the Sheppard Air AS WE SPEAK - as I need to have it done by Friday- and let me tell ya- I just got it on Thur, and im going to take it tomorrow afternoon- its really painless- READ THE HINTS AND TIPS BEFORE YOU START STUDYING- it will save so much time..


I was skeptical at first as i ALWAYS used Gleim CDs/books to prep and always scored well with them- but this is WAY easier to use and im much happier with this! I'll let ya know how I do- and if its less than a 90- you get your money back by the way..!!!- no one else offers that!


GO WITH SHEPPARD AIR- you won't be dissapointed
 
I liked sheppardair so much that I took the test TWICE and made 96 the first time and 94 the second time.

I really need to do the ride before I'm on here braggin about passing it three times!:o

Incredibly true.

With Gleim, ASA, or any other book or software for the ATP written, they publish ALL of the FAA test bank which is around 1600 questions if I remember right. HOWEVER, Only 700 of those questions are actually used on the test. Shepherd Air and ALLATPS have went through the ATP test and pulled out ALL the questions that are ONLY used on the test and published them. So its about half the study time.

Also Shepherd Air and ALLATPS has some good memory mimics to help you memorize faster. Use Shepherd Air ONLY if you want to pass the test rather then to learn anything.
 
Thanks all! Sounds like Shepherd Air is a good way to get it knocked out. Now if only the ATP ride was around the corner.... :rolleyes:

If I take a 135 ATP written, can it be used in a 121 situation?
