Select the pertinent Gleim book to assist you in your test preparation. These books can be found in most pilot and aviation shops or online. Be sure to select the correct level depending on the pilot training you are undergoing. Gleim offers study guides for private and commercial pilots, airline transport pilots, flight engineers, flight instructors, airplane mechanics and others.
Follow several key strategies for studying the Gleim aviation test preparation book you've chosen. Be sure to read the introductory portion of each chapter as these sections provide valuable insight on the questions to come. Read through all of the questions contained in each chapter. Make sure to read each question and all three answer choices before selecting the correct answer. If you get an incorrect answer, be sure to read the provided explanation. It can be useful to go through each chapter twice to help with memorization.
Take practice exams. Once you have gone through the book and started memorizing the questions and answers, practice exams can help reinforce the learning process. Most Gleim books have one or two practice exams included in the book that also come with answer sheets for review purposes. There are also some websites that offer free practice tests.
Use software options to support your training. There are several software makers, including Gleim itself, that offer online ground school programs that help with passing the FAA knowledge exams. The test preparation software programs offer a computer-based study strategy, the most up to date question database and built-in realistic testing practice environments.
