How to improve landings?

Guys how can I really improve my landings? I’m on like my 7th TOL lesson and I’m still not doing good whether I’m getting too slow on base or final, I’m uncoordinated, too high, off centerline, not correct wind corrections, etc I’m still making basic mistakes and I feel like I’m just wasting money. What can I do?

Written Exams🫣

Hi everyone I am trying to study for the written exam for commercial airplane&glider, IR and FOI, BGI AGI IGI.

Just using ai as a "GROUND INSTRUCTOR" and referencing all the recommended book like phak and far aim and the acs all that, its ok for now idk I just started.

But I really noticed that I am very good learner with another friend or someone.

So if anyone is interested i would love to study with anyone who studies for any of these exams also private i can help if anyone needs some help on the basics and maybe go through it together.

Or any tips or anything I would love to get some ideas or what ever.

P.S. I tried Ground curses and question banks but I don't want to just study questions I wanna understand it all and not just remember stuff.

VFR Flight Following Decent near Class C

I'm planning my long distance cross country flight and I have a procedural question. My cross country flights so far with VFR FF usually involve the initial call up, a few hand offs, and then I request to descend with runway in sight to an uncontrolled field. For this flight the end of my first leg is a small class D underlying a class C shelf. Will I be given instructions for decending and getting in touch with the tower?

ISO: Gleim ATP FAA Knowledge Test Prep 2000 and Pilot Handbook 12th edition physical books

Hi, I'm studying for my upcoming Dispatch course and was wondering if a pilot has either one of these books possibly from Gleim pilot kit they have purchased.

I'm hoping to find a physical copy of the Gleim ATP FAA Knowledge Test Prep 2020 book as Gleim decided to stop printing them and they are prohibitively expensive everywhere else for a physical copy. It's been difficult to be staring at a screen to study.

If you also have the 12th edition of the Pilot Handbook, I'm also interested.

Thank you!
