I didn't read the book really, because I figured everything I needed to know was in the CD. It really prepared me for the test too; I scored a 88.5. Although, the Analogies and Letter Factory was a little more difficult than the software, the rest was right on target.

The PC program more so than the book.

The program is like a game, and very accurate to the actual test.

Some minor differences:

in the “landing the planes” game, when you set a new heading, the planes arch to that new heading, appropriately to approximate physics. However, in the actual test, the planes do immediate 90′ angle turns.

This messed me up a bit when taking the test, because, part of your grade is determined by how few course corrections you make. Also, it caused me to miss judge my very first course correction, and I crashed a plane. Bummer.

But I still did get a 90.6 on the entire test.

The book is good for… well not much. it actually has a lot of errors in the answer key, but if you don’t realize those errors, you probably shouldn’t be an air traffic controller anyways.

I highly recommend that you just play that game over and over again. Keep playing it until you have mastered all of the sections, and then play it some more. Play that thing up until the morning before your test. I cannot stress enough how beneficial this game is to your overall grade.

It will boost by a factor of ‘amazing’ your quickness of thought, your committal under stress, and your confidence in knowing that you are right.

Man, that letter factory game will eat your lunch if you are not prepared for it.

And all of these games in this program are designed somewhat harder than the actual test.

Get This Game.

Play it over and over.

and study some of the other things.

It WILL give you a substantial advantage.

I am really displeased at the quality of this most amateurish work. The dial reading never worked, and the questions of the math test are mostly based on miles to kilometers and vice versa conversions which are (according to the author) not included in the exam scheme! Do try harder please! Rating: 1 / 5 In this kind of product, expectations are mostly on the software that is supposed to simulate exam environment.

While the sample test in the back of the book may be an accurate reflection of the real thing, it is extremely repetitive and seems to be used to add pages to the book, as opposed to substance. I would not recommend buying this book; instead, just do a little research online and save the cash for a rainy day.
