Leave a Review Flight Test X20
Great for acing the written
I used Sporty’s, Gleim, Jeppesen, and Sheppard Air throughout all my training up to CFII/MEI. Shep’s study method and app makes it incredibly easy to study for the material. I by no means study as often as I should and by using their study method and app I have never scored less than a 90.
TLDR; study the way the say to. It works. It’s a drag, but the results speak for themselves.Show lessCallsign Jäger
Fantastic Prep Software
I really enjoyed using the instrument airplane prep course. I studied the Sheppard Air study strategy intensely for just over two days, took the test, and got a 98%. Hands down the best customer support in the business, and very quick to help. I would highly recommend using Sheppard Air to get your studying done - for less $$ than most of its competitors. As a pilot, I appreciate their 24/7 phone line with knowledge assistance from flight instructors on problems you have a hard time with. Thanks Sheppard Air! The only thing I would suggest is updating the UI, but in terms of functionality, no issues.Show lessGrayson Bertaina
Good update
Great update and very welcome with the new technologies implemented (split screen), no more going back and forth between question and figures. A few minor bugs still exist.
You cannot share you’re results in landscape mode on iPad 11, but i have emailed shepperd. I have never tried a different test prep as ATP flight school swears by Shepperd air (and its free) and also for the CTP course ATP provides this for free. Following the study strategy helps a-lot, even though I employment my own habits as well. First time i took my ATP multi-engine practice test i got a 93% and have been scoring that since.
Follow the guide!Show lessBrian van den heuvel
Undoubtedly the best test prep hands down. Bar none.
Studied FIA for less than a week got a 95 first try. Super easy to use. Highly recommend to anyone for any test.Edder3
It Works.
Bottom line: the business model works if you use as instructed. The interface on IPad was a little rocky- graphics didn’t always load immediately and striking the hit box for the “next” and “previous,” commands was weirdly difficult.
Hard to argue with results though, 100% score. Worth the price.NightmareUser
Very similar to the old app with welcome changes
I like the explanations being auto populated on the bottom of the screen. I do not like swiping to see figures or how small the “next” button is.MikeyM7
Sheppard Air works !
Follow their study strategy exactly as prescribed and you will succeed. I scored a 93% on the IRA exam. I am officially a Sheppard Air believer and will use them again for the rest of my written exams. Thank you SA!Kristalady
Unfortunate update to old app
First, Sheppard Air is absolutely the way to go for FAA written tests. But this version of the app is an absolute train wreck. A bizarre swipe interface to get from questions to figures, answer explanations that you can’t turn off, and several bugs in landscape mode. The old version had warts and could certainly use an update, but this one feels QA step was completely skipped.Show lessparc the pilot
Guaranteed Success!
I have used the Sheppard Air app on my iPad mini to study for 3 FAA written exams. The updated app is much better than previous versions. I will definitely continue using this app to study for any written exams in the future!Miles1245
Best FAA test prep software, now even better
Sheppard Air is considered to be the gold standard for FAA knowledge test preparation by most pilots and instructors, and their newly redesigned Flight Test X20 app brings some welcome new features and improvements.
The tried-and-tested Sheppard Air “study strategy” remains unchanged in this new app. What has changed, however, is the user experience while studying questions. The X20 app uses a new split-screen design, allowing you to simultaneously view the question/answer and the explanation or the relevant figure. I have found that this greatly improves studying efficiently, as you no longer have to click back and forth between the question, the figure, and the explanation to understand how to answer the question.
Also new to this app is the ability to study with the iPad in landscape orientation. This is ideal for larger iPads, as it maximizes the available screen real estate.
Having studied for knowledge tests using both the older Flight Test 5 and this new Flight Test X20 app, as well as other test prep books and software, I can confidently say that Sheppard Air’s X20 offers the best efficiency and value. It is without a doubt the best way to ace your next knowledge test.Show lessjschroebel
