Product reviews for Instrument Rating Written & Checkride Combo

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.

Second only to fuel starvation, weather gets more pilots than any other condition.  This is critical information for a pilot to fly safely.

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.

Great

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.

Probably the best course of all.  It was extremely informative and very well done - and having an actual DPE talk about the process and what he is looking for was invaluable.

Before my check ride I feel like I have been there before.

I passed the test for my instrument rating with a good solid score!  John and Martha did an excellent job breaking the material down into bite-sized modules.  The practice exams helped me identify areas needing extra study.  When I tested, I went with confidence.

The King IFR course is indispensible - not only for a good grade on the test but for UNDERSTANDING the material.  Well thought out, clearly organized and explained - i did score a 90 on my test first time around. THE single most valuable part of this course is the SIGNOFF you get that enables you to actually TAKE your written test, once you've completed the course.  AUTOMATICALLY.  This alone makes it worth the cost of the course. Can't recommend it any more highly.

I don't fly single pilot IFR in a piston plane, but as a company mandated course it was a good refresher. Definitely good for those who are doing this type of flying.
