Two tests.
One evening of prep material.
Zero fluff.
Everything below is distilled from the current FAA source documents — the Aviation Instructor's Handbook, PHAK, Airplane Flying Handbook, Risk Management Handbook, AC 61-65, and the CFI Airplane ACS — and calibrated against the FAA's own sample questions. Built to get you past 70 with margin, fast.

The method
1. Read the plan & logistics page first — it tells you the order of attack and when you're ready to book at PSI.
2. FOI is pure memorization of FAA vocabulary — read the FOI guide once thoroughly, then live in the quiz and flashcards.
3. FIA is 80% things you already know as a commercial pilot, reframed through an instructor lens, plus 14 CFR 61 subpart H and endorsements — the FIA guide is ordered so the genuinely-new material comes first.
4. Gate to book the real test: two consecutive timed mocks at 85%+. The real cutoff is 70; the margin covers test-day variance and figure-based questions.
