    I would start with two things. On the knowledge end, find one of those free practice test sites. The goal there is to find the gaps so you can target your studying. On the flight end, a session with a CFI to find where the weak and string areas are and create a personalized syllabus.

    That’s super generic since we don’t know much else. But if you stopped flying right after getting your private, there’s no way for me to guess what you have retained. Have you, for example, been continuing to read aviation magazines, been involved in aviation social media groups, watching instruction-related videos? Those kinds of things can help keep our heads in the gam.
