Sporty's Study Buddy
Description (
Characters: 1864 of 4000
)
Sporty's Study Buddy will prepare you for the FAA written test like no other study tool available with three modes of operation. Test material is expertly organized into categories based on subject matter and includes, questions, answers, correct answers, and detailed explanations. • STUDY QUESTIONS BY TOPIC • Learning Mode allows you to create custom review sessions by selecting exactly which categories you want to review. Each session randomly generates the question order, and provides instant feedback based on your answer selection. Each question also provides a detailed description as to why each answer is right or wrong. These explanations were developed by Sporty’s team of Master CFI’s, based on their experience preparing students for the Private Pilot certificate • REVIEW QUESTION FLASHCARDS • Flashcard mode tests your knowledge by allowing you to only see the question without the answer choices. After answering the question mentally, you can then select to show the correct answer, and self-grade your progress along the way. This is a great feature that keeps you from being distracted by incorrect answers! • TAKE PRACTICE TESTS • Test mode randomly generates a 60-question session from the entire database of published FAA test questions, simulating the real Private Pilot test. After answering all the questions, you’ll be given instant results, and have the option to review either all the questions, or just missed questions. Included in the review session are the same detailed explanations for why each answer is right or wrong. •PROGRESS REPORTS• After completing each test your results are saved in the app's Progress Report section, where you can review previous scores and and a detailed history of each question and answer selection. You can also pause a partially-completed session, and resume it at a later time here.}

Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on courses, studying through the question banks (Learning Mode) helped me achieve what I needed through my PPL written journey. I loved the different mode, especially with options to take simulated tests and ability to review both Learning & Test sessions I had completed. While the explanations aren’t perfect, given the price, this app is a great self-studying tool.

This app was great practice for the PAR exam, along with some studying from the PHAK (which I understand you can download for free from the FAA if you don’t want a physical book), and some further research on how to do calculations with the help of the AI on the internet. I would recommend picking 1 topic at a time in learning mode, as well as making notes as you continue to do your own research on the topics in the PHAK. So don’t try to cover all topics in one day though, as there are over 1000 questions in the question bank. Once you feel confident, give the test mode a go and just keep at it. Give yourself enough time to prepare for the test as well. This is for the foundation of your future, so it’s well worth investing in. I studied 2-5 hours almost everyday for about 3 weeks and passed the test first time around, so I’m sure most people will be able to succeed if they put in the effort. Lastly, get yourself a e6b or electronic flight computer, a physical sectional chart, and some scratch paper. It will put you ahead of the game for the future if you grasp the basics of calculating center of gravity, course correction/wind correction angles, and can actually read a map when in a pinch!

I would give this app 6 stars if I could. I aced my written test and it was all thanks to this app alone. $15, but will be the foundation of all of your aviation careers.

For the price this is a very nice FAA Test Prep APP for private pilot. It is very similar to Sporty’s online FAA test prep or Gleim’s online FAA test prep. I am currently using Gleim’s FAA test prep; the questions in this app are the same or very similar. The online versions give you better control and options for testing yourself on missed and flag questions. I use this app on an iPad and it works very nicely, maps, charts and chart supplements are easy to read. Is is also very useful to purchase the “Airmen Knowledge Testing Supplement for Sport Pilot, Recreational Pilot, Remote Pilot, and Private Pilot” (FAA-CT-8080-2H, or most current version). The testing supplement has all of the maps, charts and chart supplements that you will use on the test. It is a great complement to either the iPad and especially the iPhone. One area where this app suffers is there is no way to test yourself on only flagged questions. This app needs to aggregate flagged questions within each section to easily access them for review or for testing.

I used study buddy to prepare for my written exam and got a 90%. I usually do nit do well on exams, but this app had me well prepared for the exam. I recommend using a device larger than a cell phone. I'm definitely going to recommend this app far and wide.
