Spacial Aperception

lol. Is microsoft flight sim. worth it? I have the exam friday so I don't even know if I could figure how to use it by then lol.....

You don't need the latest and greatest version. If you dig through the bargain bin at most stores, you can find FS 2000 or FS 2002 for significantly less than FS9 (A Century of Flight). Definitely dont go spend big bucks just to do this, especially if you have to buy hardware.

Now, I'm a flight sim fanatic and a simulator realist, so, I've been using FS9 and addons for a long time (Flying since 5.1... yes, I'm young, so FS5.1 is very old for me ). There's no need for you to end up as a big nerd like me, but, I can teach you the relatively few keystrokes you need to know to do this thing. It will be much easier, however, if you have a joystick with a hat on it.

If you have any interest in flying around with FS and have a good computer, consider buying the full Flight Cimulator: A Century of Flight. The program includes virtual flying lessons on it. This, of course, moves beyond spatial apperception.

Seriously, don't stress out so much about the spatial section. It is by far the easiest section once you have a system down. You don't need flight sim; you don't need video games; you don't even need to be a pilot. Use the advice you've gotten above, study and you'll do fine. Just remember - this test is as much pyschological as it is knowledge-based.

Yeah, with only 6 days left to prepare and actually more like monday all day, my nerves are shot. I need to review the mechanical stuff bigtime and go over my math since its been a while. Seems like mostly algebra and triangles etc....
