Prepware General
How does the Study mode in Prepware General help me understand why wrong answers are incorrect?
After you answer each question, the app provides a paragraph-long explanation that reads like an instructor talking, explaining not just the correct answer but also why the wrong ones are wrong. This helps you grasp the underlying concepts rather than just memorizing answers.
Can I track my performance in specific topics like Weight and Balance or Aircraft Drawings?
Yes, the statistics screen breaks down your weak areas by category, such as 'Aircraft Drawings' or 'Weight and Balance,' and flags questions for review. This lets you build a custom study pile focused on your worst topics.
What should I do if Prepware General crashes during a practice test and I lose my progress?
Unfortunately, the app has no crash recovery, so you'll have to restart the test from question 1. To minimize frustration, try closing other apps before starting a test and ensure your device has enough free memory.
How can I find questions about a specific topic like corrosion if the search function is weak?
The search function only lets you scroll through categories, not type keywords. To find questions on a specific topic, manually browse the relevant category (e.g., 'Aircraft Drawings' or 'Fluid Lines') and use the flag-for-review feature to build a custom study set.
How does Prepware General compare to free FAA test prep apps?
Free alternatives typically offer only 20 sample questions before requiring payment or a subscription, while Prepware General is a one-time purchase (around $10) with the entire FAA question bank included, no ads, and no in-app purchases. It also provides detailed explanations, unlike most free apps that just show the correct answer.
