2012 ASA knowledge exam products available

By Janice Wood · August 28, 2011 ·

ASA’s 2012 Test Preps (books for pilots), Fast-Track Test Guides (books for mechanics), Prepware (software for pilots and mechanics), and Virtual Test Preps (DVD video ground schools for pilots) are now available.

ASA’s Test Prep Series for pilots includes a sampling of representative questions and answer choices, supported with 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. Each Test Prep comes bundled with the same Computer Testing Supplement applicants will receive at the Computer Testing Centers, with the figures needed to take each exam, according to company officials.

ASA’s Fast-Track Test Guides for Aviation Maintenance Technicians, originally written by industry expert Dale Crane, prepare applicants for the exams required for A&P certification. Each Test Guide includes representative questions, answer choices, references, explanations, and FAA figures as well as a guide to the AMT Oral and Practical tests.

ASA’s Prepware software combines all the information found in the Test Prep and Fast-Track Test Guide Series, with the benefits of computer-based training, including performance graphs, realistic practice tests, study and review modes, and built-in timers. The instructor utility, QuizMaker, generates pop quizzes or full-length tests. Prepware has been approved for use in earning credits with the Wings Pilot Proficiency Program and is available on CD-ROM or via download ASA’s 2012 Test Prep Bundles include both Test Prep book and Prepware software download.

ASA’s Virtual Test Prep video ground school lets students learn the material they need to ace the FAA Knowledge Exam right from their TV or computer DVD player by taking advantage of the latest developments in video production education, according to company officials. Students learn from the DVD, then work through all the FAA test questions using the accompanying test prep materials for a comprehensive aviation ground school.
