Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

I passed my private pilot written and my instrument written with flying colors thanks to your course!

Very effective course: Follow the road map, study until you have correctly answered and understand all of the questions, take the test, and pass with high percentage.

The course was effective in getting across what was needed to pass the instrument written and maintain the information. I passed on the first try, even with the way the FAA tries to trick you on some questions. Would use King again.

I watched the Kings for the private pilot written and I knew they would guarantee a pass on the instrument written.

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.
