Sep 7 - An interesting series of events... Our FAA test prep apps are unique in that we have a 'report an issue...' feature where users can submit feedback on individual questions. Our editorial team reviews each suggestion and then, if necessary, issues corrections quickly that can be immediately downloaded by users. Contrast this to the books and less updatable software of our competitors, where if the publishers make a mistake, the mistake is 'set in stone.' Anyway, a few days ago we got some feedback from a user who adamantly claimed that we got something wrong because he saw a differing answer in a competitor's book... but then, a few days later, we got this ...
Please disregard my previous comment on this question. When I took the written yesterday, this exact question was on my test and the correct answer was as you described. I scored an 100 on the test, thank you for your great app!
Our system works! Congratulations to that student (JS from Illinois).
Took the test on August 22... My learning method was to take 50 question tests with your software, study the ones I missed and repeat until I was scoring 90s consistently, then schedule the actual test.
The questions in your prep software are perfectly spot-on, I didn't see anything new on the FAA test that I hadn't seen from your study material. Thank you, will be purchasing the CFI study course soon!
100% on my FOI test. All completely down to learning from this software, hardly needed the FAA handbook at all! Absolutely worth the money. Will definitely be using for my ATP exam.
Sep 1 - 40,000th TestPrepStatus result, nice feedback A bit of a milestone today - a few months ago we unveiled TestPrepStatus.com, a free site that allows students to directly share the results of their FAA written test preparation work with their instructors. The service is completely free and optional. We're happy to report that today we had our 40,000th study session reported into the system, and so we're glad that many of you are finding this utility to be useful.
Today also, we got a nice piece of feedback from SR of Manchester Iowa who aced a few FAA written test with the help of our software and wrote:
Your test prep software is incredible and a must for any student pilot.
Thanks very much, sir, and congratulations!
Aug 30 - FAA Written Test Prep Software Feedback.. Here's a nice bit of unsolicited feedback that we received today from a GroundSchool FAA knowledge / written test prep software user:
Your software is awesome! I studied the questions, took several practice tests (about 10 hours of work), and aced the MCA exam. I walked out of the testing room in 10 minutes and the proctor couldn't believe it - she was really shocked when I scored 100%. I didn't use anything but your software (and a few of its links to FAA publications) to prep for this exam. That was the best money I've spent in a while! I'll be downloading more of your excellent products as I work on getting my tickets. Keep up the great work!
Aug 28 - 97% on the Private Pilot Rotorcraft - Helicopter!
I am pleased to report that I passed my FAA rotorcraft private written with a 97%, thanks to your software. Now, I am getting ready for the private checkride, and will be cruising right through to commercial and CFI with instrument rating.
Aug 28 - SimPlates keeps rolling on.. Here's some feedback we recently got from a happy SimPlates customer:
It was a toss up between [Dauntless] SimPlates and the [Jeppesen] SimCharts … I'm glad I chouse SimPlates as with the add ons! There are a lot charts included and It's worked out cheaper too. If I had bought SimCharts, I would have only been able to unlock 1 or 2 regions and it would have cost me over £100 (US $185) to unlock all 6 to cover the amount SimPlates does. I have also noticed that most of the charts are more up to date then SimCharts .. My mate has SimCharts and we have been comparing them. Thanks again!
Aug 26 - Great Score on the Private Written!
Just giving you some feedback...
Using your software I passed my test with 95%!. At first I was quite disappointed with myself. I knew going in my track record for testing in that I tend to overthink questions and second guess myself. I did my best to avoid this and in the end it paid off well as the reason I missed the few questions was specifically because I didn't second guess them and chose the first answer. They were of course trick question I hadn't seen before and probably shouldn't have rushed such easy questions. At any rate everyone I've spoken with thought I did very well and I'm happy! I owe my success to your software! I also found it extremely useful to see my progress by submitting my tests to the online section tracking section of Dauntless. I am now mere practice hours from checkride! Thanks again!
