Read and learn the text material, not just memorize the answers. The private knowledge test, is everything you should have down pat. Its the foundation of your flying. The Jeppesen Private Pilot text book is excellent to read. It not only prepares you for the test, but provides you with a great knowledge base. The FAA published books are also good, but reading them can be like listening to someone giving a speech in a mono tone voice.

Goodluck!

I recommend the software version of the Gliem. It keeps track of the questions you miss and allows you to isolate them and practice just those questions until you get them right. Never got less than 97% using it.

I used the software Gleim for every exam and passed each one with 90+%. I highly recommend it.
