    Thanks for your help
  • Fantastic Test Prep

    I’ve used Dauntless for all of my FAA tests and have always passed with high scores. I enjoy the app’s feature that allows you to focus on specific topics. All of the reference materials have been cited or consolidated into each question, which allows you to learn the material from the source. My commercial test was straightforward and I’m once again impressed with Dauntless’s platform. Thank you!!

  • Outdated database

    I’ve used this company for all my written’s and even outdated written’s I had to take again, I really like the layout and in the past the explanations were amazing it helping you understand why a certain answer was correct over the other options, however in the past couple years I’ve noticed less explanations and less visuals and references and more so just a simple FAA referance highlighted from the Aim or whatever source. Anyway that alone doesn’t deter me, I understand it’s hard to keep content up to date, I just think with the competition what’s being offered now is not worth the price. If a person uses this product to study expect to get about 7 percent lower score on your actual exam then you do on all your practice ones as the database seems to be about that old consistently

  • Frustrated! I paid, but I did not receive what they promised ...

    Many content repeated between the questions, and some does not make sense, and very poorly explained, I paid extra to have the audio learn option.
    and only a few of them have audio available.
    Ex: performance are 74 questions , but they are only available 22 in audio for to you learning.
  • Keep it fresh!

    I also feel bad about writing this but their questions database is very out of date (there are still 20+ questions on NDB’s and ADF’s with a disclaimer in the explanation...these have long since been eliminated from the test..) ... they claim to be updating their content but, while the content is correct, it only distantly resembles what you see on the test.
    They do explain things well &, since I understood the material, I would up with a good score on the test...there just was a lot of crap to wade thru to get to the stuff I needed to know.

  • The only way I prepare for tests, or let my students take them

    I’ve used Dauntless apps to prepare for every FAA written test I’ve taken, and my lowest score is 90%.

    Two features that are absolutely worth mentioning are the ability to share test results with an instructor, which allows a student to prepare on their own tim. An instructor can track preparation and even provide a remote sign-off (by scanning the endorsement and emailing it).

    The second feature is that the app gets free updates for life. I began in aviation as a glider pilot, and used the app to pass my glider test. When I decided to fly airplanes, I updated the app and its question bank, and studied for another test at no charge. If you will be taking lots of knowledge tests, the free updates will save you a bundle.

    Don’t use this app to memorize test questions. The FAA no longer publishes test questions, so no app will have a question bank to simply memorize. Go through the question bank, READ all of the excellent explanations, and you’ll be prepared for whatever the FAA puts on your test.

  • Out of date question bank

    I feel bad writing this, but I just finished the commercial written exam today (March 8th, 2018) with a 79% score.
    I studied religiously with this app, regularly updated it, and from the 100 questions on the exam I had seen only about 15-20% of these questions on the Dauntless app. The rest were all new to me.

    The app is well made and the study options are good. However they’re not worth much if the question bank is outdated.

  • Good app

    I used it for my MCH exam and scored 92%. Most the questions were on the actual exam.
  • Love the app, the update not so much

    Graph charts without drawing capability lends itself to guessing with no skills being improved. Need to be able to turn off these graph questions as it's very impractical on an iPhone screen anyway. Unfortunately, an email to the helpdesk did not work and phones numbers are intentionally unavailable.

  • Great supplement to prepare!

    I just completed my Commercial rating and it was made easier thanks to this app. I studied using the ASA books, and that was a great thorough study, but then added a few rounds of this app to prepare for the written. I got a score in the 90's with no problem. I really like the question stacks and the ability to get immediate explanations configured to display either all the time, or only when you get one wrong. It's a great package. I didn't really use the check ride prep one much, but I should before my CFI. I also used the dauntless prep for my CFI FOI test today and scored in the mid 90's as well, so you can bet I'll be using this for the FIA test as well.
