This might be kind of a dumb question but are the questions in the King School videos and the Gleim Private Pilot study book the same questions as the ones in the actual written exam? I did a search and didn't find anything.

Yes, they are the exact questions used by the FAA. I took my IFR written this past weekend, and the school owner tried to slip me a Gleim book while I was taking the test. So, that stuff does happen if you know what I mean.

No kidding? You're going to report that, right?
 
I wish I would've known about those sites before I bought practice software. Oh well.

:eek: Thanks, but no thanks. That's a good way to lose everything.

I haven't heard that one before, but go figure. That's a good way to lose credibility and probably the flight school.
 
The written tests are a joke; it is the instructor/DPE who determines your competence and ability to place the lives of others in your hands, not some silly "A,B, or C" test. If the test was even that important, do you really think the FAA would make available the exact questions ahead of time? Of course not. The FAA knows these tests mean nothing; that much is obvious.
 
Agree that they're mostly a joke. PPL included. I'm currently memorizing answers I'll never have any use for on the ATP. That said, the instrument written is different: It's largely composed of stuff you might actually want to know someday. Recommend paying a little more attention to that one and actually knowing why the right answer is, uh, right.
