Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

After starting & stopping instrument study over several years from borrowed books I bought the King IFR Course and within 2 months of studying and taking the practice exams I passed the IFR written test with a 90%. Great way to get this done.

The information in this program is very thorough and prepared me well for the IRA exam. John and Martha are the best!

After trying once a few years ago on my own to study for the instrument exam, I gave up after slogging through the FAA books and free online exams. After taking this course over a month and a half, I was able to  consistently do well on practice exams and more importantly, learn the material. I took the test and got in the 90s. Will definitely take another King course.

I will admit I was skeptical at first, but I wanted to give the written test prep course a honest try.  I watched all of the videos and took notes during each one (as if I was back in school).  It took me about 12 days (1-2 hours ever day or two) to finish the entire ground school.  I took the three required practice exams, then did two additional "randomized questions" exams.  I reviewed and took further notes on any missed questions each time (this is important!).  I studied my notes for about 90 minutes (45 minutes one day, 45 minutes the morning of my exam).  I did not do any 'on my own' research or use any other reference materials - I did not read any of the other IFR prep books, etc - I only used the King ground school program (and I realize this looks like a fake review or that they told me what to do/say, but that is NOT the case).  I really wanted to know if I could rely on the King method to take me all the way to CFI, so this was kind of a litmus test to that effect.  Long story (and review) short, I am very pleased and earned a 95% on my written test (first time)!  I am already signed up for their commercial pilot ground school and test prep program!

I have used King’s Schools for both Private and IFR. I tried another company but it was not as organized and didn’t teach the material. I will continue to use King’s for all of my ratings.

Thanks for the excellent videos and course work.  It is great to go into the exam with confidence.  Passed the written today with flying colors.

I took the instrument rating written (IRA) and got and 88. I then went and took the instrument instructor written (FII) immediately after finishing my IRA exam and got an 82. The instrument rating course for king ground school will prepare you well enough to take both exams back to back. I would absolutely recommend taking them both.

I found the course very detailed and informative, covering everything needed for the written test. The website is very user-friendly and the app helps a lot when I'm not around my computer.  Will definitely be purchasing the commercial test prep course after I take my instrument rating check ride.

This course could not be any better in my opinion. If you really pay attention to the material and take the practice tests and quizez, you will have no probelm passing the IRA first try.

Having done the weekend ground school with American flyers and the Sportys online, I managed to fail the Written. Having that failure a few years ago I needed to be instructed using old school charts and methodical teaching style. I felt once I completed the online Instrument King course that I could pass the test. With 28 minutes remaining I hit the finish button. My score shows that I still have work to do but I'm sure I will find the course materials within the King videos. Very happy with the product. Looking forward to all the future ratings with King as my ground online instructors. I'm not in anyway discounting the other products. I now believe that different pilots learn in different ways. The same as when a particular instructor may not be a match when learning how to fly. If you want guaranteed results look no further.
