Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

Using this and Gleim...I just passed the IRA with an 80% and right after took the FII and got an 86%. There were about 12 questions that I never saw from either studying source on the IRA. Overall, I started studying the Gleim book and watching the King videos exactly a week ago and passed two tests 7 days later. Felt like I could have done better on the IRA and most of the questions I got wrong were not in the King videos nor the Gleim book.

The King Schools course for the Instrument Rating Airplane written exam got me ready. The practice exams seemed a bit harder than the real thing, which was a relief. Thank you for getting me ready.

I just finished my IFR exam today with a passing score! I remember all the horror stories from other pilots about how hard the test is. Well Kings School course set up me up perfectly to walk into the testing room confident. Never thought I could understand this material but they do an outstanding job in explaining it. Will recommend to anybody looking at getting their IFR rating.

Some of your "Figures" need to be updated as they are very difficult to read, especially the weather maps.

perfect way to prepare for written exam

I took an in-person instrument ground school about nine years ago, and I have to say that I have learned more from the King instrument ground school that I did in the in-person one.  Some of the segments are a little out dated, but the information throughout the course is very valuable and still practicable for today instrument flying.  I highly recommend it.

Great Test Preparation!  Highly recommend Kings for anyone trying to get their instrument rating.

The King Schools course covers the material and has numerous practice exams necessary to study for and pass the instrument written test.   I was frustrated by the blurry and antiquated images and user interface that was not mobile friendly, antiquated in design and functionality, and often very frustrating.  The course is effective at providing all the FAA questions and getting an endorsement.

I have taken the instrument ground school at my VA accredited college.  They use a curriculum based on the JEPPESSEN text books.  I found the college course confusing, having outdated material, and lacking any explanation.  YOUR course broke everything down, explained it thoroughly, and was much more informative.  The only thing better would be to sit in the same room with John and Marthe for instruction.I give the course high marks and praise.  I'd recommend this course to anyone.  MONEY WELL SPENT!

The videos in this series are informative, but dated. The information is good, but the old videos that were recorded when John and Martha King were younger are looking very out of date. The online graphics are unreadable on the test questions. The new HD video segments are much better. It is nice to see what John and Martha look like now too, rather than 30 years ago. They have aged well. Even the FAA has updated the graphics in their test supplement to include color and sharp clear printing. The video series needs to reflect that overall improvement that is a result of modern technology and printing.
