Product description:
The Private Oral Exam Guide is designed for student pilots training for the Private Pilot Certificate. All the subjects a Private Pilot candidate will be tested on during checkrides and review flights are covered. Chapters are dedicated to certificates and documents, weather, determining performance and limitations, airplane systems, cross-country flight planning, night operations, and aeromedical factors. References for further study are provided throughout the book, and additional study questions conclude each chapter. Answers and explanations were researched using FAA documents (which are identified so readers know where to go for further study) as well as interviewing FAA examiners. This book teaches applicants not only what to expect, but also how to exhibit subject mastery and confidence when under the examiner’s scrutiny. This book will identify the candidates’ strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in their aeronautical knowledge, increasing study efficiency. Approx. 208 pages, paperback.

Pros
This book contains information that King Schools did not cover in their course. I will be using it as a reference book going forward.
Cons
Each section has an Additional Questions section in the back of each chapter. It would be nice if the answers were available either in the very back of the book or online.
General Comments

Great tool to help you get ready for that nerve racking oral exam! They answers given to help you study are very in-depth yet are very understandable.
Cons
Could use a lot more questions about a lot more topics, but then, what book out there gives you everything you will ever need? This book goes great along with the knowledge of many flight instructors' experience.

University of Illinois Institute of Aviation is the best flight school period!

Information was presented in an orderly fashion.

At times, I seemed to suffer from TMI (too much information) but I'm sure it will all be helpful when the actual oral test takes place.
