• Includes a comprehensive and searchable glossary.
• Shuffle the answer stems for a true test of your knowledge.
• Build a follow-up quiz from your airman test report. The FAA doesn’t tell you which questions were wrong on your test—they only give you the learning statement codes. You can plug the codes into the program to create a custom post-test follow-up, which is required prior to taking your checkride.

• You can choose to print results, or e-mail them to your ground or flight instructor to obtain endorsement to take the FAA test.

• Built-in study guides are there at a click of a button for study sessions, with the same comprehensive text and figures found in ASA’s popular Test Preps and Fast-Track Test Guides.
• Performance history reflects individual tests, not just cumulative performance. View a performance graph depicting total score and a score for each subject, as well as review the test (shows your selected answer, the correct answer and explanation).
