Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

The Kings said I would pass the test, and I did...easily.  The course did an excellent job preparing me for the test.  The videos and presentation was a bit dated, but so is the FAA.  It moved along quickly, with lots of stops and starts to keep me from zoning out or getting bored.However, after starting the flight training I realized how lacking the course was when it came to real world application.  It wasn't coherent....just a collection of facts and info that you regurgitated on the test.  However in the plane you are supposed to put all that together and John and Martha don't tell you how.  I ended up buying an ASA book which helped put everything in context.If I had to do it all over again I would have bought the book first, and then used the King course.  But yeah, still would have bought the course.  I got my money's worth.

I took the instrument course To go to the CFII test. While I passed, I was disappointed in the test taking module accompanying the course. The test included HELICOPTER set questions for the airplane CFII test, and included antiquated questions. There were only four test options, so I was basically repeating those four tests to learn. The questions rote. Not an overall pristine experience.

Very comprehensive instruction. Excellentt preparation for the exam. I highly recommend this course.

Took 6 practice test . 3 test from an online source and passed them all.

I think King instruction is great.  However, the instrument course is way to tailored to specific (old) FAA test questions.  I took the test today and only 30-40% of the question structure was similar.  What is great - is the logic behind the instruction.  My advise would be to re-do the videos with no actual FAA test question structure (tons of reference to this through).  Several questions on the exam that were not addressed in the King instruction.   I will use King for further training without a doubt - just would like to see the instruction pace with the changes FAA is introducing.  Still - Martha and John are best at explaining all aviation concepts.

This course was excellent! It even helped me with the oral exam.

The course was so good that even though I studied and took my practice test while driving over the road with no flight computer I still scored 88 on each practice test. I even messed up and left a couple of answers blank.

Strong course to work on at your own pace. A FEW of the figures used as reference to answer questions are illegible leaving the answer a guess rather than a formulated answer, these figures are however clear during the actual written exam. Some videos occasionally would have issues with loading despite good internet connection, sometimes multiple attempts were needed to view the video before proceeding. Still passed the written 1st attempt  88% worth the investment for ease of use and ability to take multiple practice exams with feed back.

As always these two have came through with a fantastic training/learning environment! I completed my Private and now my IFR using KING Flight schools program with awesome results!Keep up the good work and happy flying !

The King course for sure helped me pass my instrument written exam! I passed with an 83%.
