I got a 97% on my instrument written thanks to your great software. I purchased [3-letter company] commercial ground and it was a big waste of money. Your software is 10 times better than [3-letter company]. Thanks again!

Our competitors' test preparation software is more expensive since they sell it through a complicated and wasteful system of wholesalers, distributors, and retailers. With us, you get a better test prep directly from us in an environmentally friendly, no-delay way. Despite our over ten years of providing test preparation to many many thousands of pilots, some people still think that because we cost less we must not be as good. We'll gladly put our full-color, detailed explanations, lifetime free upgrades, and just plain better software against our competitors any day of the week. You don't need to pay more to get more, as BP here with his excellent result on a quite challenging IFR written test is the latest to prove.

100% in 15 Minutes!

Great software to get me ready for the Military Competence Exam - Airplane. Excellent resources made readily available to explain questions and foster deeper understanding and general knowledge of regulations. I passed the exam within 15 minutes and scored 100%. The FAA Operations Inspector who handled my paperwork said "Geez, 100%? Maybe you put in too much time on this one." Nope, just the right amount, thank you! Completely worthwhile product.

How do we compare?

February 11, 2012 8:35AM EST

In the past year I've taken private through CFI ratings for helicopters and I also went through all the airplane add-on ratings. For all my tests I've studied using [competitor's] software, but the software never seemed to give me practice test questions that I found on the actual written. Today I was getting ready to take my Airplane CFI add-on written, being skeptical of the [competitor's] software's history... I decided to seek an alternative. I came across you site, downloaded the trial and purchased your software. I was really pleased at the ease of making the purchase online as well as the numerous explanations taking me through each step of the purchase.
Once I started I learned I could emulate "Laser Grade" testing and was really impressed.
Upon review of questions that I would miss, I was blown away by the effort you guys put into explaining the correct answer along with references and quotes.
The questions I was seeing on your software using the "crucial" mode was nothing like the questions [competitor's] was showing me. After about 8 attempts and scoring a consistent 88% I thought I'd really put your product to the test provided only a couple hours had elapsed from the time I purchased the software to the time I took the actual test. I ended up scoring a 84% which was fantastic considering the small amount of time I spent with your program. The questions I saw on the actual test were about 90% of what your software was asking me in "crucial" mode.
I'm so thrilled with your product and a raved to everyone in the flight school about how it's light years ahead for the competition!
I will do my best to spread the word about Dauntless Software and I think I'm going to purchase your Checkride Oral Exam prep as well.
Thank you for an outstanding product, you have a new customer!

Feedback from Canada!

Great product that shows positive results every time. Originally purchased this software for my PSTAR exam and I aced that exam with a 96% grade. This software has an excellent variety of questions in its database. I highly recommend this product.

HIgh Praise for Safelog - PilotLog.com!

February 9, 2012 2:40PM EST

I just wanted to thank you for this amazing software system. I had been using [competitor's product], which now seems antiquated, clunky, awkward and featureless ... I'm a pilot for American Eagle (a new one, at that- less than 50 hours) ... I had no idea logging EVERYTHING I want to log could be SO easy! I'm also blown away that you staff real people to look at my old [competitor] file in the process of importing it. Thank you, thank you! Your service is worth every penny, and that means a lot coming from someone on first year FO salary!

Research Confirms that GroundSchool helps you learn

February 7, 2012 7:29AM EST

We ran across this interesting tidbit the other day. Seems that scientists have concluded that learning by testing is an exceptionally effective way to learn. This formally confirms what we've suspected for ages and helps explain why our test preparation software has been so effective in not just helping people pass tests, but also effectively learn the material. Read the original article here.

A Great Score from France!

Just got my IFR written exam done in Paris... 98%! It has been a great fun to prepare it with GroundSchool. I will continue to use it from time to time as a refresher, and I just bought RideReady to prepare my Checkride ... Thanks!

I just wanted to say thank you for making it so easy to transfer my logbook data to a new computer. My old hard drive quit working, but fortunately I saved all the backup.dat files on an external hard drive, and it only took about 2 minutes to import everything! My new computer is now full up and running with minimal effort! Thanks so much!
