Summary

Test-taking is more efficient with ASA-each ASA Test Prep includes a supplement just like the one issued at the testing center: the FAA's Computer Testing Supplement. All the FAA legends, figures and full-color charts are reprinted exactly from the government book, and bundled with ASA Test Preps.
