So I'm working towards my gold seal and thought I should take the ATP written since my boss gave me a good reason. I know there's a bunch of places out there to study like Dauntless, Sheppard air, gleim, etc. Up till now I've used mostly sportys and Dauntless once. I dont really want to pay $75 for Sheppard and Dauntless has some bad reviews. Still leaning towards them though. I'd like to go with someone that isn't going to cost an arm and a leg and doesn't have more questions than needed. I have two weeks to study for this.

When I saw the title I expected something like "Ginger or Mary Ann?"

No doubt about it, go with Sheppard Air, it will require the least amount of study and if you don't score well you get your money back. The reason they're able to do that - is because you WILL score well.
 
I don't see a part 135 option for them. Am I missing it?

Just take the 121 one.

From their FAQ
Do you provide a prep for the FAA ATP 135 knowledge test as well as the ATP 121 test? No, we don't. Both the ATP 121 and ATP 135 exams satisfy the prerequisite test requirement for the ATP flight check... therefore you can take either test. If we made an ATP 135 prep and made you the same no-surprises guarantee (no questions on the test that weren't in the prep), you'd have to learn about 175 more questions than you have to learn for the ATP 121 test. No one wants to work harder just to accomplish the exact same prerequisite. So most pilots take the ATP 121 exam instead of the 135 test. According to the FAA's statistics, available on their web site, 5729 people took the ATP 121 exam in 2006 as compared to only 968 who took the ATP 135 exam.

The reason i was thinking 135 is I already knew the rules.
 
i used the ASA Test Prep software. managed to pass.
 
SheppardAir all the way. I cannot say enough good things about the company and their software. It is well worth the $75.

Same. In fact, didn't you loan me yours? Or did I loan you mine? Or something...either way I used the ASA software and it worked fine for me. That said, I've always heard a lot of good things from a lot of people about Sheppard.
