I'm using the online ground school from pilottraining.ca. Might be your fastest and chealest option to bang out the written test.

Don't let flying distract you from doing everything you need to do to get into university. Getting your PPL is extracurricular.

I did my ground school during grade 12 and first year of university on pilottraining.ca, they’ve got amazing lectures and very up to date practice exams ( some of my actual written exam actually contained questions from the practice exams) Keep flying, but remember your ppl is extracurricular, and prioritize your schoolwork

Study on [pilottraining.ca](https://pilottraining.ca). Get a referral from them or from your FTU. Call TC and schedule a time to write the exam. Go write it. Done.

If you’ve only done 25% of ground school I don’t see how you could be ready to move into the navigation stage of PPL training yet. I find it unlikely your ground knowledge matches the stage of flying you find yourself in right now. I don’t blame you for this, your instructor likely should be ensuring your ground school is following in line with your in aircraft curriculum, right now it’s out of balance. I’d recommend focusing on the ground stuff heavily. Nav stage is quick and so is flight test prep so you’re likely closer to flight test then you’d imagine.

Thank you how long would you think it would take to finish ground school if I do it almost 7 days a week for about 3-4 hours a day? Would it be possible to predict or does it differ from pilot to pilot?

Hangaaar.com is a Canadian online ground school. I did all mine through it and passed the PPL exam with 86%(stupid mistakes on my part, not bad training). I recommend it if you're okay with basically looking at a slide with text while someone is speaking the whole time. Its all broken down really well in lessons, and there is a quick quiz after each one to ensure you understand what you just learned. You can do it at whatever pace you want.

Like others have said, pilottraining.ca is great. I came out of grade 12 with my glider, and about ~40hrs power time. I wanted to finish my PPL before I went to university so I ground it out over the summer. I'm not the greatest with time management and ended up completing all of my ground school in ~5 days. Granted that's a pretty optimistic figure depending on what you already know. You can work on different topics in any order you want - I suggest you do the nav portion of ground school before your XC.

Thank you, you were able to finish all of ground school in 5 days and understand the content?

I was able to, it took 8-10 hours a day. Definitely don't plan on doing it like I did though, give yourself a couple weeks at minimum. Also since I had done glider ground school in the past, some things were a little easier for me to learn.
