…your mileage may vary if you try this, but it’s working for me.
PS: Each time I take the practice test, I use the same process…building a new document with the questions I missed. The four documents only run a page or two.
1. Signed up for the ‘Premium’ Sporty’s Study Buddy for $14.95 (gets you three months). http://www.sportys.com/studybuddy. The premium version gives you the explanations.
2. Copy/pasted the question, answer and explanation into MS Word.
3. Used the free ‘ScreenHunter’ program to capture the relevant parts of the legends and figures so they could be copied into MS Word.

4. Used the ‘Insert / Shapes’ feature of MS Word to annotate the legends and figures. Dark red arrows and semi-transparent lines over victor airways. My ‘Part 1’ document is 76 pages. The ‘Part 2’ document is 126 pages.
5. Used the ‘Save as PDF’ option in MS Word and copied it over to my iPad Mini. Studying off that when I get a minute, not having to open the separate legends/figures book once.
To date I’ve taken the practice test four times off Study Buddy – passed them all (average time taking the test is about 40 minutes). Taking the real deal here shortly. Total cost spent so far studying….$14.95.
Maybe you might find some of this useful if you’re contemplating getting your IFR ticket.
