Private Pilot FAA Written Exam: Passed

This past Monday I took the Private Pilot FAA Written Exam and passed with a 92% -- 70% is passing, which is good enough for me! After reviewing my answers afterward, I realized I knew the answers to two and for whatever reason selected the incorrect answer.

In hindsight, I'm pretty happy with how I prepared for this test. Instead of the "learn it in a weekend, guaranteed!" DVD method, I chose to study myself using:

• Jeppesen Private Pilot Manual
• ASA Private Pilot Test Prep
• FAR/AIM

I then took a ground school class at Golden State Flying Club. The class met twice a week for about three months and used the books I already had. Although I had already learned most of the material, it was great reinforcing the material in a classroom setting and being able to ask questions.
