Those are definitely fair game on the ATP Written. The four chapters on the B737, B727, B1900, and IFR XC Planning are, in my opinion, the worst part of the exam. When I took the written, only 10-15% of my questions came from those sections so I would recommend getting the rest of the chapters down first and then coming back to those.

I'd pocket the couple of hundred bucks. If you read the planning questions and the answers, they are REALLY LONG and require lots of work that is very easy to mess up. After studying for this test and the FE. You start to recognize the question and answer. I made flash cards with the full question and the answer. When I went in to take the test I did not use a calculator or do the problems. If you read them enough, the answer will pop out at you. I know this is not what the test is for and if you don't know how to actually do the problem you will get in trouble later in your career. Learn how to do the problem then memorize the correct answer.

I agree, just memorize the answers. if you combine that with the AllATP program, you'll definately score in the high 90s. I went into it cold the other day, started studying their 588 question bank, took the test at 3PM.. scored mid 90s.

Ditto. what's been said. Just one note, if you make flash cards and memorize the answers, you don't need allatp's. All their program is is a simply DOS program that shows the questions and the answers. If you've already memorized them, no problems. Just pay the $90 fee to CATS and go sit for the exam.
I studied the GLEIM intro chapters for 5 days on reserve and then sat for the exam and scored an 89. No need to delve hard core into the individual planes and IFR planning stuff. Just memorize those answers and then read and reread the previews of the other chapters and you'll do fine.
