Most student pilots hit the same point in training: the airplane is starting to feel familiar, the solo is close, and the instructor says it’s time to get the knowledge test out of the way. Suddenly there’s a whole body of material to master, from airspace to weather to weight and balance.
Some students like to study from a book with a highlighter; others want to drill questions on a screen during lunch breaks. ASA’s Private Pilot Test Prep with Prepware combines both: a softcover test prep book and Prepware software, with answers and explanations so you learn why an answer is right, not just which letter to pick.
Quick answer: ASA’s 2025-2026 Private Pilot Test Prep with Prepware (ASA-TPD-P-25) combines a softcover test prep book with Prepware software for the Private, Sport, and Recreational Pilot FAA knowledge exams, supported with answers and explanations. It’s for student pilots preparing for their knowledge test who want to study on paper and on screen, available on Skyfarer and at Skyfarer Shop.
What’s in the package
- Test prep book. A softcover book for the Private, Sport, and Recreational Pilot FAA knowledge exams.
- Prepware software. Software for practicing the same material on a computer.
- Answers and explanations. Each question is supported with the answer and an explanation.
- Edition. The 2025-2026 edition.
A simple study plan
- Read by topic. Work through one subject area at a time in the book, reading the explanations.
- Drill on screen. Use Prepware to practice that topic until the answers come easily.
- Take full practice tests. Once each area is solid, take timed practice tests to build stamina.
- Review misses with your instructor. Bring the questions you keep missing to ground lessons.
Pilot tip: Don’t memorize answer letters. Read the explanation for every question you miss, and for some you got right by luck. The knowledge test is only part of the goal; the same material comes back on the oral portion of your checkride.
