I'm a sucker for buying this book by Chester A. Martin  1 Stars

The others are right, they took the words right out of my mouth. The only thing different I have to say is that we should all SUE!

Misleading by Diana Lynn Johnson (Fort Wayne, IN)  2 Stars
March 05, 2008
I didn't initially find the AT-Sat "part of this book" because I assumed you had to read the info in the book and then take the test in the back. I also thought the whole book was for the purpose of taking the at-sat. The book bombards you with info - so when I started to panic I decided to skip to the back and take a look. The practice test in the back isn't even for the AT-SAT - it is for some test they give you once you are in the academy! Bologna and Cheese man - The ATC Career Prep book is much better if you want info for the AT-SAT - maybe this book will be more useful once in the Academy?

Doesnt Not Prepare Applicants for the ATSAT by Christopher Henchey (New Hampshire) 1 Stars
March 02, 2008
I am a senior at Daniel Webster College in the Air Traffic Managment Program. I took the ATSAT in early February of 2008 and recieved a 95%. I had ordered this book about 2 weeks prior to the test and looked at it maybe once. This book gives those without ATC backrounds the lowdown on how the National Airspace System operates. If the ATSAT did have a section were it asked questions like that, then this study book would be great. However, in the 8 sections of the ATSAT, only one of them pertains directly to ATC, and is a simulation and knowing any of the knowledge in this book prior to taking the test will not help you. A better test that this book would prepare you for is the Air Traffic Basics test, which CTI applicants must take prior to Oak city and civilians take at the academy.

Zero Stars by Flyn Angel (Honolulu, Hawaii, USA) 1 Stars
September 12, 2007
Zero Stars should be the rating. That is actually how terribly misleading and unhelpful this book is.
In no way does it prepare you for the AT-SAT at all. I spent a week devoting my time, knowledge and studies to this book toward the preparation of my AT-SAT. What a waste of time!
Finally, I stumbled on another prep book which was a savior to my chance with the AT-SAT. I threw this book away once I saw the other one.
Don't waste your time.
Don't waste your money.
