Great resource This book is a great resource to practice for the FAA's air traffic control exam. Most of the sections are exactly like what you will see on the exam. In some cases, the sections are actually harder than the real exam. Of course, doing well on this exam is helpful but it's not necessarily going to speed up your chances for employment at the FAA. The process takes a very long time regardless of the occasional status updates they feed you on the ASAP website. Good luck on the exam but don't think you will be... more info
Would recommend this book Book is a must buy if you intend on doing well on the AT-SAT. Granted I'm sure you could pass without it but why bother risking your career over the price of this book. Check it out. Buy this book, study it, and get yourself a decent career as an Air Traffic Controller. There are few mistakes in the book and the CD isn't the best but it does help. Try everything on the CD. Get used to using the number pad on the right of your keyboard it will help during the Scan Test. The Letter Factory doesn't work well... more info
Good book for preparation of ATSAT This is a good book to use for preparation to take the ATSAT. It also has lots of info on what it is like to go through ATC training, and what it might be like to be a controller in ZTL. The prep tests are not exact, but they are pretty close, and they are faster paced than the actual tests, so that helps improve your time. There are some differences between the tests and the practice, but this book will really help you if you're starting out cold without an ATC background or training.
Neccesary I highly recommend this book to anyone who is preparing to take the AT-SAT exam. Had it not been for this book, I would have been totally lost on the test. I scored a 97.7 and I owe it mostly to the preparation and study guide included in this book but not only that it included a Cd-rom that resembled the test... !!!
