Users are seeking guidance on which specific lessons to prioritize in their private pilot ground school, indicating a desire for clarity and direction in their study approach. This is from our new clone, askhogs.com our clone is now integrated inside all of the HOGs courses. So you can talk to the clone while you're in there, ask questions. And so we have some helpful tips for you today. It's pretty easy, but the question keeps coming back to guidance on which videos and how to work through the course. The answer is step by step. Start at the beginning of the course, go all the way through every single video of every lesson, and go all the way to the end. You'll see back behind me the HOGS wall of fame. These are pictures that are rolling up back here for private pilot, commercial pilot, instrument pilot, and certified flight instructor. They're not rolling at the moment. I don't know why, but anyway, they're normally rolling. They're going through showing all the members that have passed checkrides with hogs. And the people that ace a checkride tell us they go through the whole entire course, the whole thing, and then anything they need to review, they go back and cover again. And you may think, oh my gosh, that's a lot of work. Well, guess what, getting your private pilot or any other rating is a ton of work. Several questions that are coming up the next one again from the clone. This is just a recent report from yesterday. There is particular interest in identifying key lessons that will effectively prepare them for the private pilot written exam, suggesting that exam readiness is a significant concern for your audience. I understand that, but there again, that's why you work through the beginning of the course all the way to the end of the course. Because if you think about it, the written test covers everything, everything you got to know as a pilot, whether it's weather, it's maneuvers in the aircraft, it's regulations, you have to know everything. So the point is that's why you want to work through the whole entire course. You can't go to a section, just prepare for the written because the written is the totality of the circumstances, everything you're learning to become as let's say a private pilot. After you get the written test done, then you can move to the airman certification standards because that's going guide you through what you're going to need to do the day of the oral test and flight test, during the practical test. So by getting the written done early, that is helping you to learn all the information that you need to know next Colon pointed out to us. The questions reflect the potential confusion or lack of confidence in navigating the ground school curriculum, highlighting an opportunity for you to provide structured recommendations or resources. That tells me they're skipping around and they want to skip around and just get the golden nuggets, what you need to know. That doesn't work. The people back here on the HOGS wall of fame will tell you, right? Getting through the written, getting through the practical is a whole ton of information. You can't just say you got to study this section or you got to study that section or you go to key parts for what's going to be on the test, go through ground school start to finish, get the written test done. Then when you go through the Airman certification standards, you're going through there and then you can go to the specific videos that you need to understand the practical test. And I can tell you over and over and over, people didn't use the practical test standards. That's now called the Airman certification standards. People don't want to pick up the book and look through it. It is your key. No, it doesn't give you every single answer, but it guides you along the path of that knowledge. So you can read each step through that. Acs. Yes, I understand that. Yes, I understand this. And then you read the next one and you go, oh, I'm not so sure. You go back to HOGS ground school or any of your resources you have find the answer for that topic. Bottom line, go through the courses. There is no easy way out if people always say, well, what's the examiner looking for? It's called the acs. It's called the Airman certification standards. That's what he's looking for or she is looking for. They're looking that you meet the standard of the knowledge in flying that is within that book. And if you want some more help.
