The Best PPL Student Kit?

[TheNakedTrader]

Hi guys,

I am in the midst of preparing everything I need to prepare before making
my way to the USA to do my FAA PPL with EFT.

Now..the thing is, the guys at EFT are telling me that they don't require the student to purchase any private pilot kit. All the student needs is:

1) FAA Flying Handbook
2) FAA Practical test standards
3) FAA Pilot's Guide to Aeronautical Knowledge

The folks at EFT told me that all this 3 publications can be downloaded for free on the FAA website.

However, during my research on PPL training, almost every other flight school requires their students to purchase a student pilot kit and begin studying before arrival.

I am not sure the above mentioned 3 publications will suffice to pass the theory exams in the first 2-3 days of my arrival? Can someone please advise on this?

Also, can anyone please recommend me the best PPL kit available on the market that will be of great help and usefulness to clear the theory exams in a breeze. Academic cramming and studying is my forte by the way. So as long as I have the correct books, shouldnt be a problem.

Thanks in advance!

Regards
Bryan
