The single best predictor of passing the Part 107 exam is how you score on practice tests. Re-reading study guides feels productive; testing yourself actually moves the needle. Here's how to use practice questions the right way — and where to get a free set.
Why practice tests work
Active recall (forcing your brain to retrieve an answer) builds far stronger memory than passive review. Practice tests also reveal your weak spots — usually airspace and sectional charts — so you study what actually matters instead of what you already know.
How to use them
- Take a cold practice test first to find your baseline and weak areas.
- Study the topics you missed, not everything.
- Re-test daily until you consistently hit 85%+ — that's your green light to book the real exam (which needs 70%).
- Review every wrong answer and understand why, don't just memorize the letter.
What the questions cover
Expect regulations, airspace & sectional charts, weather (METARs/TAFs, density altitude), loading & performance, and operations. Airspace and charts trip up the most people — drill those hardest.
