Commercial Prepware - CD is a computer based study and test preparation tool offering realistic and interactive test simulations along with answers and detailed explanations for the FAA written Instrument Pilot test.

Commercial PrepWare by ASA allows you to work any question or any subject matter either individually or in subject groups. (Or example; give me all the questions related to holding patterns) Or instead it will provide you with a complete and realistic test simulation offering a full set of random questions in a timed environment, exactly as you will have on your actual testing day. When you're done, the program will score you and rank you in each basic knowledge areas so you know exactly the areas in where you stand on each subject. Do well with this simulation 3-4 times, and you're pretty well assured of acing your actual test.

Prepware 2010 features include:

• Compatible with both PC and Macintosh systems.
• CX-2 electronic flight computer is built into the program, accessed by a click of a button during study sessions or simulated tests.
• Make and save user notes while studying in a Notes field, for annotations and comments as you work.
• “Google”-like search capabilities…search for a word or phrase in the entire database of questions, answers, and explanations.
• Includes a comprehensive and searchable glossary.
• Shuffle the answer stems for a true test of your knowledge.
• Build a follow-up quiz from your airman test report. The FAA doesn’t tell you which questions were wrong on your test—they only give you the subject matter knowledge codes. You can plug the codes into the program to create a custom post-test follow-up, which is required prior to taking your checkride.
• Simulates the CATS testing center in screen layout, buttons, program navigation; replicates what you'll see when you take your official FAA exam.
• You can choose to print results, or e-mail them to your ground or flight instructor to obtain endorsement to take the FAA test.
• Built-in study guides are there at a click of a button for study sessions, with the same comprehensive text and figures found in ASA’s popular Test Preps and Fast-Track Test Guides.
• Performance history reflects individual tests, not just cumulative performance. View a performance graph depicting total score and a score for each subject, as well as review the test (shows your selected answer, the correct answer and explanation).
• All figures are available onscreen.
• Download and automatically update the database each time the FAA releases new or changed questions; also, the free email subscription service keeps you informed anytime a change is made.
• Prepware School provides the ability to track performance history for multiple students and issue custom quizzes to the whole class.
