ASA: Test Prep 2012 Series - Commercial Pilot Bundle

ASA’s Test Prep Series includes questions representative of those on FAA Knowledge Exams, along with answer choices, explanations for correct and incorrect answers, references for all aircraft categories (airplane, rotorcraft, glider, lighter-than-air, weight-shift control, and powered parachute), and are arranged in chapters (with supplementary study text) based on subject matter for an efficient study program. Each Test Prep comes with the same Computer Testing Supplement applicants will receive at the Computer Testing Centers, with the figures needed to take each exam.

ASA’s Prepware Download combines all the information found in the Test Prep, with the benefits of computer-based training—including performance graphs, realistic practice tests, study and review modes, and built-in timers. Also includes ability to generate pop quizzes or exams using sample representative FAA questions.

If you already have Prepware installed, you do not need to install it again.

Different version years of Prepware will operate independently of each other. If you already have an older version year of Prepware from say 2010 or 2011, then you will need to download Prepware 2012 for Windows or Mac.

However, if you have the current version year, for instance, Prepware for Private Pilot 2012 already installed, and you want to add Prepware for Instrument Pilot 2012, you do not need to re-install the software. Simply open your current Prepware 2012, go to the Help menu at the top, and choose “Enter Activation Codes.” For Macintosh computers, the “Enter Activation Codes” link will be in the Prepware menu.

If you DO NOT yet have Prepware 2012 installed, click on the appropriate link below and follow the instructions:
