    Halfway through the FAA Handbook, couple of questions

    I'm heads down studying the FAA handbook. It's been interesting but alot of it is very conceptual. Does it help with the test? Are there specific areas to focus on in preparation for the Test / Exam? (not the check ride, just the test)?
