The Secret to the FAA Knowledge Test

[@irishcurse65]

I knocked my written out before my 3rd lesson. I used Kings and then did the free Sportys practice tests over and over until I scored high 90's. The test questions and answers were almost word for word. Got a 93%

[@dagestanifive]

elaborate my brotha. What is kings? And was the test questions the same as sporties?

Getting ready to take my written test this week. I’ve studied my ever loving brains out so I’m actually pretty excited 🕺 Will edit if I fail miserably (guaranteeing a life of loneliness and existential doom). That would actually be kind of hilarious considering the lengths I’ve gone to cover every base *at least* five times over…

My number one tip, purchase two copies of the physical version of the supplement for the test you are studying for. Use one to study and take notes in, and the other for any practice tests. Live inside that book during ground school and the subsequent study sessions. It is identical to the supplement you will get on the day of the test. For the PPL Take the time to look at the charts and ask your CFI if you have any questions about any of the samples in the book. There is only one page with any VOR indicators in the book learn exactly what each of them mean. The more you know that supplement the easier your test will be.

[@xFalconFixer]

I’m doing pilot institute and study close to 2 1/2 - 3 hours a day I’m very serious about becoming a pilot. Any tips of what you did before taking the exam. Any areas that were mainly on the exam?

[@juniorwiggles1581]

@@Christian-parks be careful not to tire yourself out and remember it’s okay to take breaks. I would say have a consistent study schedule and always be prepared to hammer down what you don’t know.

[@assenmacher]

hey man congrats! what did you use to study? practice tests etc?

[@Romanellochw]

I agree with all this except for doing the hard questions last. I have always went to the most complex questions first. You are fully rested and getting 1 or 2 of the hard questions done first really sets you on a feeling good path.

[@Fly_The_Sky]

Just be prepared. That is the key. Doesn't matter if it's your written for PPL or checkride for CFI. If you are not prepared you will have a difficult time. Know your stuff, know how to explain it and WHY. You will be fine.

[@coachraythepilot5759]

I agree with Jason on all these things but being prepared is key. I was over prepared for my IFR written and I was overprepared for the checkride. They both felt easy which felt odd but prep is key with anything.

[@glennshaw5718]

Do not say PPL. That is a British term.

[@imagesolutionswa5564]

I just took the written test yesterday. I can confirm 70% of the questions were written the exact same as some of the practice tests I have taken. I did not take this online ground school though . The other 30% were worded just slightly different

[@ELARMOOTEE]

What ground school did you use to study from ? Thanks.

[@Flybywire50]

I’m taking it tomorrow

[@atthemoment14]

I took my written yesterday and I was able to finish all of the questions within like 40ish minutes and with 50 or so more minutes I then I started checking my answers when the facility lost power all of a sudden, it was a citywide outage. We were all then held captive with nothing to do but just sit in the lobby for an hour when the power finally came back on. But then they couldn't get the wifi to boot back up so they ended up sending everyone home and we all had to reschedule to take it all over again. Since I was already done, I was hoping they could just submit it but I guess that wasn't the case. Sort of a bummer, but the bright side is now I get to study more and hopefully get a better score than I probably would've gotten this time.

[@chltmdwp]

your perseverance is amazing

[@oldlineaviation2830]

Even though I took my sport pilot AKT and scored a 90% with help from a royal couple, your ground school was a huge help.

[@dougcooper4917]

Excellent Video and Excellent Information. Thank You Jason.

[@Flyanaa]

I can tell you speak from your heart ♥️ thank you for being a light in this dark world. And thank you for the tips… everything was noted 📝

[@PghGameFix]

There's no secret. Just study the info, and take some practice tests... and you will do fine. BUT... you are right... don't wait. My advice is to get your medical first. If you pass that... then take your written after that !!!!!! It takes time, and like you said, you will put your flying on hold for it. SO... pass it BEFORE you eave start to fly. That way, you don't have to learn what is on the written test (Rules, laws, procedures) while also trying to fly where it's expensive. Every minute your CFI has to talk to you about the basics while in the plane... the less you get to fly, and the more it cost.

[@Straightahead101]

[@ipattorneyfirm1]

I took my PPL knowledge test before I ever got into a cockpit. That has advantages and disadvantages. The biggest advantage: it's done and out of the way. The biggest disadvantage: No real flying experience to use to visualize the scenarios, so it's ALL theory. I did okay, but plan to re-take the test now that I've got some actual flying time under my wings.

[@seekunderstanding4280]

Why would you retake the test?

[@ipattorneyfirm1]

@@seekunderstanding4280 1. Improve my score; 2. It expires. 3. Make sure I actually do know this stuff.

[@ipattorneyfirm1]

@@seekunderstanding4280 a couple of reasons. First, the test expires; it's been that long since I took it the first time. Second, people have been known to retake the test solely to up their score on the test. The DPE has the test scores, and they HAMMER on anything you got wrong on the test. If you can get 100% on the test, the hammering is less.

[@seekunderstanding4280]

@@ipattorneyfirm1 If it's because it expires then that's ok, but to retake it to please the DPE is stupid because you can score a 100 percent on the written knowledge and still fail the check ride.

[@ipattorneyfirm1]

@@seekunderstanding4280 of course you can ... it's always possible to fail the practical while excelling at the theoretical. Me, I can't apply math to anything, but I love math theory. But the reason for taking the knowledge test over again with a B/B+ score on the original is that the DPE hammers on the points you miss on the knowledge test (and yes, they have access to that information through IACRA); taking the knowledge test over and scoring (much) higher the second time around substitutes a light peen hammer for the 10-pound sledge going into a check ride with that B/B+ score gives them.

[@dannycnoble]

Jason, i do not have Facebook. I started your ground school 2 weeks ago. It is great. I am acing the in airplane stuff like airport sonage, approach lights, etc. Strggling with the more mechanical stuff. I was never a mechanical person. I do not even work on my own car. That said chapters 2/3 i got 50 or 60 the 1st time i took your 50 qiestion quiz. I have taken it 3 times and i am up to 78%. Chapter 4 i am constantly in the high 80%. Your ground school is great. Videos are not to long. And straight to the pont. I am glad i signed up. I went with the gold package. Go big or go home right.

[@xFalconFixer]

Jason, I appreciate all you do for aviation and helping upcoming, not current, or current pilots. Your passion and energy jump off the screen during your presentations. As a Private Pilot and A&P, my best advice is to study, ask questions, listen, and learn. Along with your videos, everyone should read what @ jvtaylor3 stated in his comments. @jvtaylor3 nails it, "live inside the books, during ground school." For myself, I make tons of notes in the study guide/material. To include, I black out (black grease pencil/crayon) all the incorrect answers. Another tip for the A&P General, there are tons of math problems. My daughter reminded me about PEMDAS -- look it up; it'll help you with the math sequence. Jason, THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge, skills, and passion.

Question, I passed the easa atpl theory exams past year and I'm wondering about the faa cpl exams, I often hear to the faa theory exams as a written test, though when I look at examples I see multiple choice answers to questions. So my question is, do they parallel easa exams but as a single combined test (we have 9 seperate exams) with multiple choice answers. Or do you have to manually type the answer?

[@boko1063]

I’m so scared HOW DO I STUDY I’m online I’m on course 5 of 12 still I’m worried till I get there

[@TSebastion]

I somewhat disagree with the part about rote memorization. Here’s the thing, if you have good knowledge AND THEN rote memorize, you can easily get a 100. For IR and up, Shepard air will allow you to rote memorize. Its to objectively get a good grade. Then you can ACTUALLY learn the material for the oral. Not to mention some of the questions are graded wrong, and Shepard air highlights which questions do this. You will need to be aware of these incorrect questions. But rote does not work for everyone, or make you a good pilot. It is simply to get a good grade!

[@Straightahead101]

Rote memory!!!

[@victorfinberg8595]

of course you have to rote memorize, and a lot. but that just gets you onto the playing field, and lets you understand the questions, it won't answer any of the physics questions (10%), or any of the calculation questions (10%), and there are many other questions that require an understanding of the systems, and thinking about them.

[@seekunderstanding4280]

What makes you a good pilot? A: constantly flying and learning how to fly the phuckin airplane!

I thought you cannot solo before taking the written? You mentioned people who are almost ready to checkride but haven't taken the written, so does that mean some people have been soloing before taking the written?

Correct you can solo before written if instructor signs you off and believes you are ready! However you cannot do checkride or complete training to get from student to private pilot certification

man oh man, this is good stuff not a pilot, never going to be a pilot, but i'm having a disagreement right now with someone regarding the quality of the pilot's license test, so i'm looking for information, and found this. i'm a post-secondary physics teacher, and physics is the only hard thing to learn, right ? wrong. the information you give here is dead on target in every aspect. i could take your presentation, and apply it directly to any physics student (or any student in any serious field)

[@victorfinberg8595]

ok, looking at the comments below, i will add to my post. the reason i came here has to do with the claim that flat earthers might be pilots. you don't even want to imagine how many trolls attack the flat earth debunking channels. but the whole internet is infested with trolls. even here, i find several trolls who are claiming "just memorize" that's pure nonsense, but trolls will be trolls. my suggestion is, just ignore them; don't let them get you down. if this was my channel, i might even kick them off for posting dangerous nonsense. and while flat earth trolls post dangerous nonsense, if pilots are allowed to go up in the air without truly understanding how the thing works, etc., etc., then we are looking at something truly scary.

Why should someone pay for GROUND SCHOOL when all they are going to teach you is in the book called Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge where you can just study out of the book?
