Filing Flight Plan
Hello everyone!
I want to first apologize for making another one of these posts because I know I have seen tons of people ask this in the past! However, my goal is to not only pass the written exam with flying colors, but understand a majority of the concepts and get the most out of it. In addition, I want to prepare for the oral as throughly and early as possible, as I am just about to start my instrument training this summer (probably doing an accelerated course so have to be ready before hand). So these are the two prepare programs I am down to:
http://passfaaexams.com/all-in-one-instrument-pilot/
I do not know if you have seen this guy's videos on youtube, but he thoroughly explains concepts that people have trouble understanding. That is how his written prepare works. His claim is that they not only help you pass the written but help explain until you actually understand the concepts through these amazing videos. In addition his all-in-one package includes a check ride prep set of videos that is set out to fully get you ready for your oral, I am sure it is good as well. They are relatively newer, but have good testimonials and have amazing demo videos on their youtube. I want to hear what you all think.

The Dauntless ground school is the other written prepware that I have been looking at. While it does not come with videos explaining the concepts, it apparently has really good, thorough explanations to help you get the most out of it. In addition, they have software called RideReady that is an oral exam program that is said to be extremely intricate and prepares you better than most oral exam guides and other oral prep methods. They have amazing testimonials, most people claiming to 97's and 100's on the written, but then again I feel like they only use their good testimonials as there are VERY few compared to Lucas's website at passfaaexams above where he is more honest and posts almost everything (people get in the 80's and 90's.)
So this is what I am between right now. What do all you wonderful, experienced pilots suggest? How did you make sure you were over prepared for not just the Instrument Written but the Oral!? My goal is to be as knowledgable as possible and go into the check ride feeling confident and not iffy at all about certain concepts. Thanks a ton everyone, have a great weekend!
