Passed Commercial Airplane Written

I passed the commercial airplane FAA knowledge test today. Used Dauntless software and after three days of prep got 96% score. Total cost: $170 ($140 test fee, $30 software fee).

Although ground schools are great in building knowledge, between Apps4Av and regular work, I do not have time to attend one.

Now I need to fly ten minimum hours in a complex aircraft to get the commercial rating. The cheapest complex I can find is $160 hobbs Piper Arrow. That is expensive, given I pay $145 tach for a much better C182.
