Course Effectiveness

Gleim has over 30 years of experience helping pilots develop their analysis, synthesis, and evaluation skills and abilities, in addition to rote memorization, concept learning, and problem solving. We rely heavily on the Socratic method. We are NOT entertainers.

As a result, our users enjoy both very high knowledge test scores and a near 100% pass rate. More importantly, they enjoy the benefits of learning and understanding, which increases their competence and safety as pilots.

Our course offers practice tests that prepare you for the knowledge test by using emulations of both FAA testing center formats.

Study, learn, and succeed with Gleim!
