It is a great app for studying finals and General writtens. The biggest problem with this app is that the questions get randomized but the answers stay the same. Meaning that the correct answer for the same question will always be in the same spot.
Reviews for Prepware General
← Back to Prepware GeneralLose study progress if app is inactive overnight. Can't open using laptop. Answers sometimes differ from groundschool.
Excellent to help you get your general license. I got mine. The study and test are excellent. Statistics for scoring are a great help.Zero adds.
Pretty great for studying, but looses progress if you don't log on it for a few hours even though you left the app open. Wondering if they will update them as FAA tests change
Just took the general test today. This app is pretty good to help studying whenever you want, the questions in here are the same as the asa test guide. It will help you pass but expect to see questions that are not in here.
I was getting mid 90's on the practice test only to get a 50% on the real test. There was so many missing things and questions I never saw. The Written rewrites the questions and mixes them up its hardly the same at all. Prepware will only help you so much you need other study material. The FAA changed everything around JAN 2020 its all stupid now.
I think the FAA doesn't give all the questions to prepware or something because there were questions that weren't on the preware material, there were also altered questions on the test but the app is easy to operate and gives you explanations for the problems.
Good start for preparation, app appears to be out dated, when i took the exam i have notice some questions that was not covered in the prep ware. It helps a bunch but to be safe, extend your research beyond the app aswell.
Great Study App, has some issues. The biggest issue. The answer don't randomly change. So once you know the answer it's like over and over in the same position. So it just makes you memorize the order of the answers. I like it to be randomly in the answer section. Just like the questions are randomly every time you take a new test. Another they screw over Android users. Apple gets them all and cheaper in one app. Android they screw use. That's BS.
NEED TO UPDATE! I had the FAA writens exam this week so i studied this app. Before studying i updated the app. I reviewed ALL QUESTIONS and when the testing happend, there were several questions not covered on this app that the FAA changed. I passed but it threw me off. Good app otherwise. Should be able to just hit "next" or "previous" on the test review instead of going back and forth to the questions
FOR THOSE OF YOU STUDYING FOR YOUR WRITTENS: DO! NOT! only study the "Test" mode that gives you 60 questions. You NEED to have gone through all 12 sections and should know AT LEAST your Electricals, Weights and Balances, Aircraft Drawings and Maintenance publications. You'll see that many reviewers here are rather upset that they just barely passed, or flunked and wasted 175 bucks. This is why! Don't be lazy! Have faith in yourself and run through these questions so you cruise thru the exam!
Well guys, nothing to worry about this app. I just passed the test studying with this app. Try to present the test with at least 95% or more in the app because it will significantly reduce in the real test. The problem is not about the prepware, the problem is about the platform of the real test. They scramble many questions and make it a little confused but most of the questions are in this app.I Bought prepware books 2021 and have the same content. Don't waste money on the books.
This app isn't as good as it should be for preparing you for the test. I used it in conjunction of the study guide book. I was scoring in the 80's consistently for almost a month and I failed with a 65%. When I took the test I was asked several questions that weren't in the study guide or in this app. I also noticed that some of the answers were completely changed. Some of the questions must be weighted more heavily. I got 43 out of 60 correct which is a 71.6% and not 65% when you do the math.
The app itself is good, however, it's extremely hard to answer questions that have figures. If you were able to put the figures with the questions so I don't hav eto try and remember the question or a diagram, that would be awesome, and I'd give 5 stars.
The UI is super outdated, but the app does the job otherwise!
This app is great. Being able to study with the click of a button. Although, dont depend entirely on the app to pass. I passed with a 70% (by the skin on my teeth). The actual test is about having an understanding of these questions. I highly recommend getting the test prep Jeppesen books. Be sure to read the question, answer and explanation. Have a good understanding of what the meaning is they're trying to get across. Goodluck!
On some: ex: FAA-H-8083-30 reference, the answer is not "the starting point" it is "the intervention point". Per the 2013 test booklet. Please fix these, I have ben studying the wrong answer(s) for some time now and didn't know until now. Update/edit Dec 2019: Also, when studying sections, the app will close the section after some time away instead of allowing me to come back to the point i left off at. And the wrong answers issue still has not been addressed.
I like the apps, don't get me wrong. I don't like that if I click off of it for any reason that it resets. I would to be able to select multiple sections ,not one or all, to study or test. Also it would be nice to the app could (or the user) create a bank of missed questions so that you are not spending time on the ones that you know the answer to.
Constantly losing my progress even when using the save feature just from a simple close of the application, I shouldn't have to save each time. It should save for me. Some explanations of questions only reapeat the answer and don't actually explain. Also it should display which subjects you excell in and which ones you need to practice in like it does on the computer.
The app did a good job of getting me ready to take the general written exam, but there are a lot more questions that they can test you on that's not on this app. I was getting a 96% and above on the practice tests with the app and got a 73% on the actual test (passing score is 70%, but a pass is a pass). So just be mindful, it may be worth looking into other studying tools as well.
