Preparation for the Exam
- Make sure that you can do well on the exam by taking an ONLINE or COMPUTER based practice test like:
- There are many more free and for fee practice exams. Take them many times until you are reliably scoring ten to fifteen points higher than you want to pass with. 70% is the minimum passing score.
- If you have waited weeks or months or more after taking a ground school or computer based study course, you will not pass without refreshing your studies and taking several practice tests. We see people fail because they are stale.
- Do not cram all night until 3 am and expect to pass.
NO EXAM CAN BE GIVEN WITHOUT THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS PRESENT AT THE START OF THE EXAM:
- ENDORSEMENT
- CURRENT VALID GOVERNMENT PHOTO ID. See below.
- GOVERNMENT PHOTO ID
- STATE DRIVER LICENSE OR STATE ID CARD WITH YOUR CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS NOT A P.O. BOX

- IF YOUR GOVERNMENT ID DOES NOT HAVE YOUR YOUR CURRENT RESIDENTIAL ADDRESS; YOU MUST BRING AN ADDRESS VERIFICATION ACCEPTABLE TO THE FAA FROM THE LIST BELOW. NO EXCEPTIONS NO EXCUSES.
If your Airman Certificate (license) or Medical only has a P.O. Box or non residential address it is not valid proof of address. If you do not have proof of Residential Address you will not be allowed to take an exam. Please do not drive here for the test without the correct documents.
