Tips on Getting Your Instrument Rating Sooner and at Lower Cost

I used the Gleim Audio CD's, Test Prep Software and Manual. I wasn't that
thrilled with the Audio CD's but the test prep software w/manual were
superb. After taking one section at a time and using the "Study Session"
feature, I was able breeze throught it fairly quickly. The software will
even emulate several test center formats so you can practice taking the test
as many times as you like until you feel comfortable.

PS I did try the King Tapes and while they do tranfer some knowledge I can't
stomach them for long at a time. Good luck.

What would you say is the best way to prepared for this with out going to
the flight schools classes.
( I live far enough away from there that if I make the trip I might as
well
go flying, cuz I don't want to do it that often)
Apparently AOPA gave my name to Kings Schools and they had a salesman call
to see if they could sell me the DVD course.

I have been plodding through all the Gliems manuals. Any other ways? The
Kings school DVD's are another 1.5 hours of dual, they way I look at it,
but
if they are super fantastic I guess I'll have to see about getting them.

In my experience the #1 time-delay comes from getting the written test
done.
If/when I decide to go for my commercial I'm not going to even start
taking
lessons until after I've done the written. Doing the same with my
private
&
instrument would have saved me 3 calendar months on each. And in
general,
the fewer calendar months you spend training, the fewer hours you
spend
in
the airplane fixing things you forgot from previous lessons.

INDEED!
