FAA Testing
Accepting new enrollments at Group 3 Los Angeles.
Group 3 Aviation offers a few tips on how to prepare for your FAA Knowledge Test:
We recommend one-on-one ground school with your airplane or helicopter flight instructor. Ground training is not strictly "prep" for the required test. Ground school is where a student acquires the aeronautical knowledge prescribed in the FARs for all pilots of all classes. Your flight Instructor will be the one responsible for endorsing you per Federal Aviation Regulations.
Group 3 Aviation recommends purchasing one of the following options for home study:
ASA Test Preparation Book - These books are a pilot's best bet. The same material as the Test Guide is included, along with explanations for incorrect answers. All of the questions in the FAA Knowledge Test are included here and have been arranged into chapters based on subject matter. Topical study, in which similar material is covered under a common subject heading, promotes better understanding, aids recall, and thus provides a more efficient study guide. For either home study or classroom use.
ASA Test Preparation on CDROM - Using the Microsoft Windows graphic environment, these programs are designed to prepare students for the FAA Knowledge Exams. In the testing mode, random FAA questions are computer-selected to simulate the FAA Exam, providing an unlimited number of different test combinations. Built-in Help files, tutorial with explanations, scoring, and personal performance graphs allow students to study specific subject matter. The pilot tests include the Computerized Testing Supplement (containing the FAA legends, figures, and full-color maps), just like the one issued at the testing centers.
