ok starting with a little bit of info on me. I am a private pilot with most of my ratings and i went to embry-riddle so i do know alot about flying and air traffic already. But for the book, this book was both good and bad for a couple reasons. Bad because there are several spelling errors that normally wouldnt be of any concern but some of the errors actually gave you the wrong information about the exercise that you were in. Good because it did give you alot of practice problems and covers most all the information that is on the test. also the CD that it comes with was BIG help because it was almost identical to what was on the test. All and all the book was good not great but good, i did pass the test and the book helped me get a hired score for sure.

I have not taken the AT-SAT Exam yet, but I have been accepted for testing. After studying from the Prep Guide, I cannot believe what I was going to be missing if I did not purchase this book. I'm definitely ready for the exam after taking the practice tests on the CD and hope to become an Air Traffic Controller.

The review from D. Strand below pretty much sums this product up. The real test is much easier, but it is slightly different than the test prep. If you use the test prep I think it will be impossible to fail the ATSAT test. I took the test Jun/09 and I got a 99.3...the proof is in the pudding.

This book has good sample questions similar to what you'll find on the test, the software that comes with it is very buggy and actually harder than the test. Put in a few hours practicing the plane simulation, the letter factory and review your basic math skills. Spend extra time on the simulation.

Very decent prep for the money, software is buggy and material seems poorly edited and hastily written but for the money it's a good deal. You'll feel alot more prepared for what's to come, and I think that's worth 40$.

This is a very big help if taking the AT-SAT test. The general idea of the practice tests are very close to the real thing. The real test to me was a little bit easier than the practice. The letter factory, scan test and the controller simuators were easier because of the FAA probably spent a lot more money on the programing than the writers of the book. But over all it is a big help to give you an idea what to expect. I just got my score and I made a 93. So If you are going to take this test I highly recomend this book.
