SIFT Tutoring

I found this app from YouTube. I watched their videos and practiced with the app. I passed with 63. If you just study the app, you don’t any book.

I usually never write reviews but I bought the full version and used this app for about a month leading up to my SIFT test. This app is by no means perfect. It has its flaws. However, content wise it’s pretty spot on to what you’ll see on the actual SIFT test. (For any applicants, I would recommend reading through the FAA Helicopter guide-found online as well) On the full length practice tests on this app I consistently scored a 59. On my actual test I scored a 66. I would recommend the app to any applicant preparing to take the SIFT test.

Great App with everything you need to pass. The test is also very good too. I got a 62 on the test and got a 76 on the actual test.

So I downloaded this app to practice the SIFT. I created an account and tried loging in. It says login successfull but wont take me anywhere, it just gets stuck on the login screen.

Don’t even bother trying to take the prediction tests. I’ve spent hours and hours of my study time (2-3 hours an attempt) to get a score or feedback from this app using the practice/prediction test just to get a “request timed out” after completing. Test questions are riddled with grammatical errors. This app would be 1000% better if there were explanations for answers on the practice tests for each section.

$15 a month for full access, a month!, and you only have 2 simple pictures and 2 hidden figures practice tests. And I tried to take the practice exam and it froze within 8 questions while still keeping the time going. Also it didn’t have different time requirements for the different test sections which is not how it works in the actual exam so you can’t even tell if you’ve actually run out of time or not.

Pros: - Decent practice problems - Good section tests for review and practice Cons: - The compiled practice tests sometimes don’t get graded (arguably the most important part of studying) - if you miss a problem, you have to scroll back through all problems which can take up study time

First of all the questions are worded horribly making it difficult to even understand what is being asked. The amount of lag between questions also makes the simple drawings and hidden figures sections unusable. Save your money and buy a study guide on amazon. Additionally the Trivium Prep online SIFT questions are 10 times better

Helped with learning the material and practicing it, but the prediction test wouldn’t would. I couldn’t use the computer website either. I recommend watching videos and getting a study guide book.

This has all the makings to be a great study tool. HOWEVER, when doing practice tests for the simple drawings, hidden figures, and spatial apperception; the timer keeps going during the VERY long load time to the next question. Not only that but when the time runs out it doesn’t tell you and you can just keep going over time. Worse still is if you skip a question (remember you’re penalized more for wrong answers) you can’t finish the test and instead have to go back to each skipped question to provide an answer then cycle back through each question to the end to submit your test. Both of these functions lead to bad testing habits as I find myself lingering on a question I would have skipped, eating up precious testing time. But the nail in this coffin is I just finished a full practice exam that took well over an hour to complete and it failed to score my answers. Meaning I have no idea what I missed or why which makes this portion of the app (the main reason I purchased it) worthless. I’m using an up to date brand new iPad Pro btw. So, all the long load times and errors are definitely poor programming related. I suggest buying a study guide elsewhere and passing over this app entirely.
