Product reviews for Instrument Rating Ground School & Test Prep

COURSE WAS VERY WELL LAID OUT. ALL TOPICS WERE COVERED TO THE POINT WHERE I UNDERSTOOD WHAT WAS BEING TAUGHT. THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN JUST MEMORIZING THE ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS….THIS IS REAL KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN BE USSED TO STAY LEGAL, BUT MOST OF ALL, TO STAY SAFE!!!!

The Kings do an amazing job making the content understandable and memorable. Throughout the course they give you tips to maximize your test results!

Grat Job - really glad it works on my mobile device (gleim does not).  The website does look a little dated, but everything worked and the information was great - actually really liked the musical feed back on a right question and completing a section.

As always, King Schools got me through yet another FAA exam.  Thanks!!

It helped me understand a lot of the topics I just didn't understand when i read through other test prep books

If you are hoping for a very insightful and easy to understand online course, this is not it. Unless you have a pretty good working knowledge of IFR flight this course does a poor job of explaining and helping a student comprehend instrument flight. For all the good reviews I was expecting a much better course presentation.

Covered everything needed for the test

The King Course was the only test prep tool I used for the written exam.  Passed on first try with score of 88.  I had previously read the FAA materials over a two month period but found I wasn't retaining the information.  The King Course solved that problem.  I esp liked the ability to take the course on my iPad which made it much more convenient to squeeze in lessons during the day.

I have tried other home study courses, and I came back to King Schools.  Nobody prepares you to take the FAA exams like King Schools. Its as close as you can get to a guarantee of a passing grade. The material is presented in a way that you can understand and absorb.

All the material is there and is presented clearly and concisely by, apparently, your grandparents as they were in the 80s. If that doesn't bother you, it adds just enough charm to keep the whole thing from seeming too routine. On the other hand, while I'm sure it's a major challenge keeping abreast of all the developments in IFR technology, some of the material really does feel borderline obsolete. But then, the FAA is using charts on the test that you simply don't find in circulation anymore, so I guess they're just teaching to the test.
