Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

This course was a great learning aide.  I love it.

I used another service for my Private Pilot.  The King program was far superior in both education and in their App program and watching the videos.  I watched the videos, made flash cards and took the practice exams.  I passed the written with a score of 88% first try without having to cram.  Their instruction and ability to explain wrong answers by taking you back to the correct video made the exam easier.  Their questions are very similar to format of the exam.  I liked it so much I have decided to continue on and use their check ride videos as well.  I will continue to watch both series while I learn to fly IFR and thereafter.  I would highly recommend this course over all others.

I studied a couple different knowledge test prep courses and kept coming back to this one. The only thing I noticed is some of the questions maybe need to be updated. There are a few questions with references to GNSS and ADS-B, so be careful.

Everything you need to know, I passed with a 98%. The only question I missed was due to vague wording, which to me is underhanded when the knowledge of the facts are paramount. And it was a simple question of which I had answered two other times correctly in this exam.

John & Martha are simply awesome!  They made the very difficult concepts and materials in the Instrument rating so easy to understand!  Their explanations are clear, concise and presented in a way that anyone can grasp the concepts and really learn the material easily.  I had to do some ground school with my instructor and he often made things so darn complicated that I struggled to remember the information.  The Kings' methods are just fabulous and I love the various tips, tricks & memory items they give you along the way to help you remember things that can easily get confusing.  i.e. "high to low, look out below", VOR orientation diagram, etc.  I also very much appreciate the value of this course.  I don't remember how long this course is but best guess at least 30+ hours of material, likely more.  You'd pay a fortune to your CFII for ground school to cover the same material and very likely not get even remotely the same understanding and grasp of the material.I passed on my first try with a very respectable score.  Check ride course is next.  I've already watched nearly the first hour and it is extremely helpful!Thanks guys!!!!

I struggled with the online IFR test.  Traded numerous e-mails with King Schools on ADF questions, that were not supposed to be there, and incorrect scores.  I had no confidence in what I was studying.  Scored 100 to 93 on numerous practice exams, but only 85 on the actual test.  Disappointed in that!

The course was very helpful.  The lessons were clear.  John and Martha make the difficult concepts not so difficult to understand.  I recommend it highly.  I did not use a course for my Private written.  I won't make that mistake again.  I did well but I think it took a lot longer to prepare because the information was not as organized.

Lot of great information and simple explanations.

Great course, easy to pause and pick back up from where you left off.  VERY convenient for people like myself always on the run.  Had a business emergency week before I was scheduled to take test, so didn't get to study much at end and still passed the Instrument Written with ease.

Course provided a good overview for almost everything needed on the test.  Still need to study the AIM and other references to get all the details.
