Is there a book or actual study guide that is not just a practice test, something that helps you learn the information.

thanks

That depends on which information you want to learn. What do you need? Nautical, aeronautical, mechanical, math, verbal? Tell me which one you're looking for and I can help...

aviation/nautical knowledge

hey, don't mean to jack the thread...

I'm a little embarassed by this, but I don't know nearly as much about planes as I'm comfortable with. For the ASTB, I'm practice-test and ace all the math, physics, and verbal stuff, but I'm shaky on the aviation/aeronautical knowledge portion. What can I read to help myself out with this? I realize I should know more about this...

Actually, nautical, aeronautical, mechanical, math, & verbal are all covered in the Arco book. The book isn't that great, but most agree it is the best single study resource for the ASTB. Do a search in this forum for more resources.

I love the FAA's Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge. Its got all the aeronautical info you want.

Read "How to be a Pilot" by the FAA for a month, ignore the really detailed code info and you'll be set. It was a piece of cake for me after doing that, and I had no prior knowledge of anything aeronautical.

If you are looking for detailed information about aeronautics then you'll want to read the FAA's "Airplane Flying Handbook" and "Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge". You could also stop by your local flight school and see if they have a private pilot ground school starting soon. Many flight schools do not charge for ground school as they hope that you will pay the big bucks by flying with them. These options will actually teach you the information, not how to take the test. The ARCO book only teaches you how to take the test, but I agree that it is an excellent source of study material for the ASTB.
