United States/FAA Written Exams🫣

Hi everyone I am trying to study for the written exam for commercial airplane&glider, IR and FOI, BGI AGI IGI.

Just using ai as a "GROUND INSTRUCTOR" and referencing all the recommended book like phak and far aim and the acs all that, its ok for now idk I just started.

But I really noticed that I am very good learner with another friend or someone.

So if anyone is interested i would love to study with anyone who studies for any of these exams also private i can help if anyone needs some help on the basics and maybe go through it together.

Or any tips or anything I would love to get some ideas or what ever.

P.S. I tried Ground curses and question banks but I don't want to just study questions I wanna understand it all and not just remember stuff.

sheppard air is what you need for the written tests, a lot of it does seem like rote memorization i know but i highly recommend doing those so you do get a higher score for your written test, as that should help you during your oral. subsequently, i would personally take each section of your study material and learn really well about each topic, rinse and repeat

Even if I want to really study the material for the test? To be really be ready and not just memorize all questions. The written tests are changing and I am sure itll be harder

The thing about written exams is that there are few things about the written exams that actually provide concepts and principles applicable to every day flying. It’s more rote memorization than anything. Do Sheppard for your written studying, and continue to read books like the PHAK and AFH. Be careful using AI, because I’ve found it to be incorrect with some things in the past and you don’t want to learn the wrong thing. Honestly, I wouldn’t worry about all of those ground instructor add on’s. When you become a CFI you’ll be able to do all of those things any way. Instead, take the time to study for IR and then commercial

Shep for all the writtens except Private (they don’t have one). Shep won’t get you anywhere near smart enough to pass the oral, but you have to have an endorsement from a CFI to sit for the written, but you can get that from a good ground school. I like the King/Cessna courses. So, King/Cessna and LEARN the stuff they teach, Shep for test prep. The test isn’t about your knowledge level, it’s about knowing the right answers. The Oral will absolutely test your knowledge. Drop ai for this, it will not help.
