Conquering the FAA CPL Written Exam

Today marks the accomplishment of passing my CPL written exam. It was relatively easy since I was well-prepared.

Initially considering Sheppard Air as the best option, I found it too expensive, and eventually chose ASA Prepware, Gleim, and AviationExam due to their cost-effectiveness and one-month subscription option. In my assessment, AviationExam stands out, yet during the actual exam, I encountered about 30-40% of questions that were absent from all these question banks.

It wasn’t a problem though, provided you have a deep comprehension of the subject. Some questions had unclear wording, requiring me to choose the “more correct” answer from options that were all “almost correct.” Admittedly, such questions were in the minority.

In the end, I achieved a score of 90%. While my aspirations aimed for more, it is still a passing grade =)
