Just stumbled onto this thread. Thanks for posting it! And, keep it coming.

I am just a couple of months ahead of you, but at the rate you are going now, you will pass me in no time at all. I am a career changer myself, and I love the Oprah show moments that I can read something that someone else is doing which is similar to what I too am doing.

I'm not really one to offer advice much at this stage in my game, but if I can tell you one thing.....make sure to keep the ground school coming. And, I would even recommend getting a second PPL software course to compliment the one that you are already using. I used the King CPC course for my PPL. I am working on the Instrument and Commercial right now and I am using the King CPC course, Sporty's course, and the Jeppesen course. I'll finish a lesson on one particular subject and then find the same lesson on the other 2 courses. Trust me, it really helps hearing the subject being taught 3 different ways.

I almost busted my PPL checkride because I was very weak on the oral. If I would have used the same strategy that I am working now, while doing my PPL, I would have been able to skool the examiner on the things he stumped me on.

Trust me, more people are reading this than you might think. Keep posting, as this type of stuff really does help others out. You are already paying it forward and you probably didn't even know it! Keep up the good work.
