Prepware Instrument Pilot

Not one question from the ASA app for Instrument was on my written. I took the test April of 2019. ASA was great for private just not Instrument. After my test, I found all the questions from my written test in another test prep software. Some of my peers said all there questions were ASA questions so I guess it is look. Sheppard Air had about 500 additional study questions. I like the ASA app format better than Sheppard Air, but Sheppard Air has all the questions.

I read all the reviews and was nervous because many people said this did not adequately prepare them for the written exam. I spent just one week on the app and when I took the test for the first time on September 26, 2019 I got 97%. The app does not have identical questions to the FAA test, and that’s okay. It’s not supposed to. You are supposed to learn how the systems work and know how to apply them to any situation. This app does a great job of giving examples, and if you actually study what you are supposed to learn, you will pass the test easily. The skill of being a good pilot is not about having wrote memory and just regurgitating answers from an app. Use this as a tool to become a good pilot and you’ll do fine on the test.

I hate to give ASA a negative rating, because July 2016, their Private Pilot test app was DEAD ON!!! Questions were verbatim. I scored 98%. With the recent evolution to the FAA testing, this Instrument app question bank was no where near to some of the questions on the Instrument Airplane written exam. I'm not here to slam ASA, because they have great products, but just FYI, do not use this as a sole study method to pass the Instrument Airplane exam. Dauntless was my main app for studying, and even their question bank was lacking, it is an awesome app on explanations of correct answers and teaching principles. It is quite more expensive than ASA, but I owe Dauntless for my 90% score yesterday on the Instrument exam. But beware, the changes to the FAA question bank is real. The test was not easy at all. I've even heard Sheppard Air hasn't caught up to the recent changes. Good luck to all.

This app’s questions are out-dated. I took my instrument written in November of 2018 and there were maybe only 5 questions from the ASA test prep on there. My buddies who studied from (a different well known company) said that all of their questions were pretty much the same. I’m pretty disappointed as I loved the ASA’s Private Pilot app, but I think from now on I’m going to switch to a different company to study from for my commercial.

I just took the Instrument Rating Airplane and got an 80. On this app and on ASA's website I have gotten only between 90s-98s on the last 15-20 practice tests I took. I would say at least 60% of the questions on the actual test I had never seen before, nor had I even seen similar-type questions. I would recommend looking into another program to study.
