    I knocked my written out before my 3rd lesson. I used Kings and then did the free Sportys practice tests over and over until I scored high 90's. The test questions and answers were almost word for word. Got a 93%

    My number one tip, purchase two copies of the physical version of the supplement for the test you are studying for. Use one to study and take notes in, and the other for any practice tests. Live inside that book during ground school and the subsequent study sessions. It is identical to the supplement you will get on the day of the test. For the PPL Take the time to look at the charts and ask your CFI if you have any questions about any of the samples in the book. There is only one page with any VOR indicators in the book learn exactly what each of them mean. The more you know that supplement the easier your test will be.

    I took my written yesterday and I was able to finish all of the questions within like 40ish minutes and with 50 or so more minutes I then I started checking my answers when the facility lost power all of a sudden, it was a citywide outage. We were all then held captive with nothing to do but just sit in the lobby for an hour when the power finally came back on. But then they couldn't get the wifi to boot back up so they ended up sending everyone home and we all had to reschedule to take it all over again. Since I was already done, I was hoping they could just submit it but I guess that wasn't the case. Sort of a bummer, but the bright side is now I get to study more and hopefully get a better score than I probably would've gotten this time.

    I’m studying for my last written as we speak. Sheppard Air so far has been 100% identical to the actual tests. As in verbatim. Use Sheppard air and get them knocked out before you start training. That way you can spend all your time studying for the oral exam. You’re going to have to learn the material either way. I just passed the FIA with a 97% and all I did was memorize the questions. I know a few airline pilots and all of them say the same thing. Knock them out and forget about it. This is how most pilots do it.

    There's no secret. Just study the info, and take some practice tests... and you will do fine. BUT... you are right... don't wait. My advice is to get your medical first. If you pass that... then take your written after that !!!!!! It takes time, and like you said, you will put your flying on hold for it. SO... pass it BEFORE you eave start to fly. That way, you don't have to learn what is on the written test (Rules, laws, procedures) while also trying to fly where it's expensive. Every minute your CFI has to talk to you about the basics while in the plane... the less you get to fly, and the more it cost.

    Jason, I appreciate all you do for aviation and helping upcoming, not current, or current pilots. Your passion and energy jump off the screen during your presentations. As a Private Pilot and A&P, my best advice is to study, ask questions, listen, and learn. Along with your videos, everyone should read what @ jvtaylor3 stated in his comments. @jvtaylor3 nails it, "live inside the books, during ground school." For myself, I make tons of notes in the study guide/material. To include, I black out (black grease pencil/crayon) all the incorrect answers. Another tip for the A&P General, there are tons of math problems. My daughter reminded me about PEMDAS -- look it up; it'll help you with the math sequence. Jason, THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, skills, and passion.

So my question is, do they parallel easa exams but as a single combined test (we have 9 seperate exams) with multiple choice answers. Or do you have to manually type the answer?

    I took my PPL knowledge test before I ever got into a cockpit. That has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage: it's done and out of the way. The biggest disadvantage: No real flying experience to use to visualize the scenarios, so it's ALL theory. I did okay, but plan to re-take the test now that I've got some actual flying time under my wings.

    I somewhat disagree with the part about rote memorization. Here’s the thing, if you have good knowledge AND THEN rote memorize, you can easily get a 100. For IR and up, Shepard air will allow you to rote memorize. Its to objectively get a good grade. Then you can ACTUALLY learn the material for the oral. Not to mention some of the questions are graded wrong, and Shepard air highlights which questions do this. You will need to be aware of these incorrect questions. But rote does not work for everyone, or make you a good pilot. It is simply to get a good grade!
