Saying

Do not rely upon everything in print about aviation. Some writers are doers and some are talkers. Watch out for the talkers.

    "I just completed one of your free exams. As a student pilot I have recently started to get inundated with offers from companies trying to sell me materials for preparing for the written knowledge exam. Your free exam feature was a welcome find. I don't know if I will manage one per day for a week, but I'm sure that the ones I do take on the site will help me tremendously. Thanks."
