Flight Test X20 4+

Utterly inexplicable that someone could put this app out there. Terrible app. Shuts down if you dare open another app, such as the PHAK. If you are in a practice test and open a different app, it will close you out, update for the 15th time in your study session, and you miss out on checking your answers.

The questions are the identical to the ones on the writtens.

Please please PLEASE update this app before I don’t need it anymore.

I just passed my Instrument Rating Airplane knowledge test with a 100% score in a total time of 29 minutes. I am 52 and spent a good few months prepping and studying gone through two books, Gleims test prep, then Sheppard Air’s app. Yes you have to allocate some 25-30 hours to this and REALLY follow the methodology to review the 1100+ questions they have in the program. You will lean A LOT in the process (not rote) and this is the best weapon against those tricky questions that don’t test your knowledge and designed to just catch you out. They also flag many questions where the FAA answer is wrong, so you know which to pick. Zero, I mean Zero surprises in any of the 60 question I got. I recognized 6 that were on my “extra” review list. Also, one of the biggest differentiators is the unlimited support. I studied mostly late at night PT, and there was always someone to speak with (THANK YOU Dorothy) who was qualified to help me solve the problems I could not understand (again not a rote learning program). These guys are the BEST! And far cheaper than any of the other competitors.

I used Sheppard for the IRA and FII exams. I scored a 100% on both of those exams. I bought Sheppard again for CAX commercial airplane and scored another 100%! All I did was follow their study strategy and try to understand each question I was reading.

Furthermore, this app is well designed. It has a few bugs and I hate how it resets every time you leave the app but it saves your place so you just resume studying. I prefer to have it on my iPad so it’s always with me, even when I’m waiting for an airplane prior to a lesson. This version is much better than the older version that’s also available on the App Store. I used that one for instrument, and it worked but this one is better optimized.

Overall, highly recommend Sheppard. It’s gotten me three 100s so far out of the two courses I’ve bought and I’ll definitely be buying it again when it’s time for the FIA and FOI writtens.
