First of all, when you see the book, or buy it, you'll notice that it is as thick as a telephone book. Remember that ATP pt121 and pt135 are there, and you only have to take one or the other. Also the ATP Rotorwing questions and FAA Dispatcher are in there as well. So when you break it down, only about half of the questions apply to you.
Secondly, I have been told that they are changing the question pool(so this advice MAY not apply), but you just have to memorize question and answer to pass. I hold A&P Comm/Multi/Inst/ATP, CFI/CFII,MEI. The lowest grade I have ever gotten, was a 94%. It seems impossible to memorize 1,000 Q&A's at first, but after you read every one once, over half are so easy that you can scratch them off. Just keep repeating this routine and within a week, you should be down to about 50-100 really hard questions. If you have any solid ethics, the thought will cross your mind that "I need to study and actually know every question". I can tell you that as a former instructor, and a pilot of over 20 years, the FAA questions are unrealistic, aggravating and generally, have no real world applications.
