Sheppard Air IR - Practice Exams
Posted by Law-of-Poe@reddit | flying | View on Reddit | 10 comments
I’ve finished all four steps on the Sheppard Air IR “top-off” and started taking the practice exams. I did Gold Seal for ground school and was scoring 90%+ on their exams. Despite that I learned so much more studying Sheppard air. It forced me to learn the concepts to be applied rather than breezing through concepts.
That being said, I took my first practice exam this morning and scored 100%. I knew I’d do pretty well and so already scheduled my exam for this weekend.
The thing is that SA says don’t take more than three practice exams, which is 180 questions…out of \~1500. I’m pretty nervous that I’ll score well on three exams but some questions which would be way harder I just didn’t get to in my three tries.
I’m going to just continue taking the practice exam once per day so I guess I’ll get through 300 questions but I’m now really nervous that I’m actually missing out on like 1100 questions. And some of them are pretty hard for me. I had 121 marked as wrong for step 4 that I went through three times.
Trying to “trust the process” but don’t want to fumble at the finish line.
For the SA alumnus among us, how many practice exams did you do and how did it work out for you?

If you actually exposed yourself to all the questions and actually followed the strategy you’ll do fine. Instrument is the only written I didn’t study for very much. I opened sheppard for all of 2 days and got an 89%. You’ll be fine if you actually use it.

I follow their advice except for once doing my fii for the second time after it expired. I bought shep. Took a practice to see where I was at as a sudo baseline. Got a 90 then just scheduled and took the test. Got a 94 or something.

you are overthinking it. trust the process. and don’t take more than 2 practice tests (i took 4) if you score 90 or above on the first 2.

Just follow the strategy bro, don't overthink it.
