No. 01The test matrix
Nine knowledge tests. Real numbers.
These are the question counts and time limits you’ll face at the testing center — the same ones your timed mock exams run under in the app. Every test passes at 70%.

Figures follow the FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix (October 2025 revision). Every test passes at 70%. Your testing center confirms the current requirements when you register.
Most tests require an instructor endorsement to sit. The Flight Instructor (FIA) and Part 107 (UAG) tests don’t; the Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI) test requires proof of ground training instead.
