About Study Buddy (Private Pilot)

Sporty's Study Buddy will prepare you for the FAA written test like no other study tool available, with three modes of operation - learning mode, simulated tests and flashcards.

Learning Mode allows you to create custom review sessions by selecting exactly which categories you want to review. Each session randomly generates the question order, and provides instant feedback based on your answer selection. Each question also provides a detailed description as to why each answer is right or wrong. These explanations were developed by Sporty’s team of Master CFIs, based on their experience preparing students for the Private Pilot certificate

Flashcard mode tests your knowledge by allowing you to only see the question without the answer choices. After answering the question mentally, you can then select to show the correct answer, and self-grade your progress along the way. This is a great feature that keeps you from being distracted by incorrect answers!

Test mode randomly generates a 60-question session from the entire database of published FAA test questions, simulating the real Private Pilot test. After answering all the questions, you’ll be given instant results, and have the option to review either all the questions, or just missed questions. Included in the review session are the same detailed explanations for why each answer is right or wrong.

Would it be possible to pick up where you left off when you reopen the app? If I'm working through 700 questions, it didn't help to start over each time I open the app.

Worth every penny! Made PPL written exam a breeze.

H70%

Learning mode is just test mode, why do I have to click show explanation? It should only show the correct answer for LEARNING

Great app but the latest update has made it feel sluggish on the Nexus 7.

This app rocks!

M70%
by M####:

Good prep but hard to read charts and graphs

N70%
by N####:

Where to begin? Random scrolling of graphics while trying to study them. References to mysterious "table below". This app also was very badly edited. Grammatical and typo errors create confusing messages in explanations, which are nothing more than cursory reiterations of the answers. You learn nothing but answers. Won't understand them. No explanation for why something is so. Very upset with purchase.

Ehh still learning

N70%
by N####:

Covers a good bank of questions in a better mobile interface than some of the free web pages. With the new update everything looks great and they fixed my two complaints.

F70%
by F####:

Great prep tool! Would be nice to see better explantions but all in all great buy. Passed the written using Study Buddy.

H70%
by H####:

Covers a good bank of questions in a better mobile interface than some of the free web pages. The interface does have a few bugs though. When moving between questions sometimes the previous answers are still slightly visible until you interact with that area of the screen. The other issue is that the cross county figures are out of date/different than Sporty's free online study buddy. For example Figured 23 has an old Magnetic Variation of 18° E near Sandpoint(KSZT)

R70%
by R####:

The app has a decent amount of content, not what would seem like $10 worth. As far as the interface, I couldn't save or star the questions I wanted to look at later if I wanted to study a different section. You can save them for later as long add you stay in the same section. Also, there is an error where the app doesn't clear the display area while going back through questions you already answered. Not a big deal, but considering the paid app, I expect better.

R70%
by R####:

A pretty complete study guide and question back for FAA exam. Learning mode with explanations is great for test prep and convenient for miscellaneous study time.

R70%
by R####:

Great way to study on-the-go but the app could use some work. Starred questions should not disappear after ending the study session, the ten dollar fee should include premium access to their online study buddy, there should be a moveable mini "plotter" cause you can't do flight planning questions without it, and there lastly should be a way to permanently mark problem questions for later review.

Really great app!

Excellent

Z70%
by Z####:

No updates to the questions. I've had this software for almost 2 months now and I see no updates to the questions or anything. Got some questions on my exam that are not here.

R70%
by R####:

just plain waste of money, same questions over and over. look at electrical, two questions, both the same? whats up with that? pretty easy toget 100% on that segment.... sorry I wasted 10$ on this....... turns me off of Sporty's in general, why would they offer something this sorry? reflects poorly on all their products.....

L70%
by L####:

Questions don't match charts in study mode. Flash cards won't flip. Not quite useless but close. Steve - LG G2X

J70%
by J####:

It would be nice to be able to mark questions that we routinely miss with the star, then be able to go back and do a test of all the marked questions. Right now when you mark a question in a study session, as soon as you end the session the marker disappears. No good..

Q70%
by Q####:

A lot of the explanations are just like "the answer is B", which says nothing about why B is correct. I would recommend the ASA test prep book instead.
