I am a pilot who will be teaching a ground school to help dispatchers pass their written exam. I have looked over both the Gleim and ASA test prep books, and I am unsure which is the better resource. I'm aware of the different styles, I personally prefer the layout of the ASA books, but I'm finding in this case that the Gleim has much more detail. The two books are really different, which is leaving me unsure as to which one to use in the course. Has anyone taken the written recently, if so, which study book did you use and did you find it prepared you well? Is there anything like a "study buddy" app for the DXP that I can recommend to students? Thank you!
Best ADX written exam resource?

It was recent (lol) but when I went to DX school I used the Sheppard Air app to study.
I will recommend this to the students as well, but I need a book to teach from, either ASA or Gleim.

Sheppard app is what I was recommended and what I used as far as "study buddy" app goes for the ADX.
Better for the practical than the written, but still a simple, helpful (and free!) tool:

I used the ASA book in dispatch school and scored high on the ADX. With time, you will learn which questions in the ASA book are garbage and which are not. Many of the schools have a lot of years doing this and start to recognize the test bank patterns at that point. Until then, you'll probably have to teach everything and also teach the time saving methods from Sheppard Air.

That's the wrong way to look at it. Your students are looking to you as as subject matter expert. You need to become one. That means you don't simply "look over" this or that book. You study every available resources until you know the material. Otherwise, they don't need you. They can pick get the resource that works for them and study on their own.
