PPL Written Test = Complete (finally!!)

[1000RR]

Been putting off taking the written test for quite some time. No other excuse then not being able to devote steady/consistent time to studying for it (family of 5 has been providing plenty of interruptions - haha). I'm getting to the end of my training (just have check ride prep) so it was time. My CFI is also a Ground School instructor so over the many months, we've had quite a number of hours spent on ground. So I took off work Friday, spent all day Friday 9am to 9pm studying, followed by the same on Saturday, followed by the same on Sunday. I have all the Gleim materials and basically went through the ~900 test prep questions they have. Then this morning (Monday) I got up and spent a couple light hours reviewing stuff and took the test at 1pm. Finished in a little over an hour which was contrary to how I thought it'd go. Maybe the random 60 questions that were selected for my exam were on the easier side - who knows. Ended up missing 1 and got a 98%! I will say this - there were a LOT of test questions that looked VERY familiar when compared to the 900 prep test questions Gleim has. Even down to the Sectionals that were/are used!

Congrats on passing! BTW, the sectionals should look similar as they're all from FAA published test supplements.

@elvisAteMySandwich - that makes sense, didn't think about that. All I've been thinking about is ANDS & UNOS... and now thinking BEER:30

HaHa... I think they took 2 percentage points off because I waited so long to take it Actually, after looking at the subject area of the question I got wrong, I think I know exactly the question that was in error. It had two answers extremely close and I apparently ruled out the wrong one. It was on the definition of Load Factor. Sneaky little gotcha words they put in there. But thank you, I will definitely enjoy a beer or couple... I'm heading out to Havasu to enjoy the Desert Storm Poker Run - so I'll be sure to raise a toast to having that behind me

Have fun and be safe. And none of this what happens at the river stays at the river crap. We want details

Haha, right?! Pictures always speak a 1000 words, right? Last time I was there, some pretty amazing pictures of the "scenery" (aside from the boats).
