Answer 20 exam-style questions across the five FAA knowledge areas. You will get your score, topic breakdown, and a clear next step.
This is a free Part 107 practice test: 20 questions, no account, no payment. It pulls from the free pool of the same bank the rest of the site runs on, mixes questions across all five knowledge areas of the FAA's Unmanned Aircraft General exam, and gives you a topic-by-topic readiness breakdown the second you submit.
It exists to do one thing: tell you where you actually stand before you spend money or study time. If you have never opened 14 CFR part 107, expect a low score and treat the breakdown as your syllabus. If you have been studying for two weeks, use it to find the area you have been quietly avoiding. It is a decision aid, not a prediction of what happens at the testing center.
Most candidates who fail the knowledge test do not fail because they know nothing. They fail because they know four areas well and one area barely at all, and the exam is weighted so that the gap costs more than they expected. Twenty questions cannot cover everything in the regulation. What twenty well-spread questions can do is sort your knowledge into five buckets and show you which bucket is empty.
That is why the results screen splits your score by knowledge area instead of handing you one number. Fourteen out of twenty tells you almost nothing. Fourteen out of twenty where every miss was an airspace question tells you exactly what to read tonight. The score is the least useful thing on that screen.
The second thing it teaches is question shape. Part 107 questions rarely ask you to recite a number. They give you a scenario — an altitude, a sectional excerpt, a cloud layer, a crew arrangement — and ask which rule governs it. Recognizing which regulation a scenario is really about is a separate skill from knowing the regulation, and it is the skill that runs out of time on exam day.
The real exam is 60 scored questions plus 5 unscored validation questions, 120 minutes, 70 percent to pass. This 20-question assessment matches the exam's question style and spreads across all five knowledge areas, but deliberately not its length, its clock or its weighting — 20 questions are too few for that, and reproducing it is the mock exam's job. This one is meant to be taken cold, at the start, when a two-hour timed sitting would tell you nothing you could act on.
Answer options are shuffled on every attempt, so a second run does not reward remembering that the answer was B. If you improve on a retake, you improved because you learned something.
When you want the real conditions, that is what the timed mock exam is for. It runs 60 questions in 120 minutes, hides every answer until you submit, and lets you flag and revisit questions the way the testing software does. It also draws to the published blueprint rather than at random — 29 regulations, 15 operations, 12 airspace, 3 weather, 1 loading and performance, with five of the airspace questions built on a chart and two of the weather questions on a METAR.

This assessment spreads its 20 questions across all five knowledge areas rather than in blueprint proportion — 20 questions cannot carry a 2 percent slice. The blueprint below is the mix the mock exam draws to, and it is what you should read your breakdown against. It took effect on 29 September 2025. If a study source still quotes the percentage bands from FAA-S-ACS-10B, it is out of date.
| Knowledge area | Share of the exam | Typical content |
|---|---|---|
| Regulations | 48% | Certification, waivers, operating limitations, registration, accident reporting |
| Operations | 25% | Crew duties, preflight, emergencies, aeronautical decision-making, physiology |
| Airspace | 20% | Class B through G, sectional symbols, authorizations, NOTAMs |
| Weather | 5% | METAR and TAF decoding, stability, density altitude, minimums |
| Loading and Performance | 2% | Weight and balance, center of gravity, load factor |
Regulations is nearly half the test. If your breakdown shows a weak spot there, fix it before anything else — it is worth more than airspace and weather combined.
Here is a question shape this assessment uses, and the reasoning behind it.
You are hired to inspect a 480-foot radio tower. May you operate at 500 feet AGL?
The instinct is no, because everyone learns the 400-foot ceiling first. But 14 CFR 107.51(b) caps you at 400 feet AGL unless the aircraft is flown within a 400-foot radius of a structure and does not fly higher than 400 feet above that structure's immediate uppermost limit. The tower is 480 feet, so inside that radius your ceiling is 880 feet AGL. Five hundred feet is legal there.
Now move 500 feet laterally away from the tower and stay at the same altitude. You are outside the radius, the exception no longer applies, and the same altitude is now a violation. Both conditions have to hold together.
The exam asks it this way because the rule exists to let you inspect tall infrastructure without letting you use one tall structure as a license to climb over the whole county. Understand the purpose and you do not have to memorize the exception.
Treating the percentage as a forecast. Twenty questions is a small sample. A 75 percent here means "you have real gaps in at least one area", not "you will pass". Nobody can honestly quote you a pass probability from a practice score.
Retaking until the number looks good. Repeating the same pool until you recognize the questions measures recognition, not knowledge. Take it, act on the breakdown, then come back.
Counting lucky guesses as knowledge. A guess and a confident correct answer look identical on a score line. Note the questions you were unsure of as you go, and treat them as misses when you decide what to study.
Skipping the visual questions. Chart and METAR questions are the ones candidates most often postpone, and they are the slowest to answer against a clock. Postponing them does not make them cheaper later.
Studying an obsolete blueprint. Anything built on the old ACS bands will have you over-studying loading and under-studying regulations. Check the date on your source, and cross-check against the FAA's airman testing pages.
Take this first, cold. The breakdown points at a knowledge area. Read that area in the study guide — the first lesson, the glossary and the quick reference are free, the remaining lessons are part of the Complete plan — then drill it in the full question bank, which has an adaptive weak-area mode and a queue of every question you have missed, and which is also part of Complete. Work the sectional chart panels separately, because chart reading improves with repetition rather than reading. When the timed mock exam stops turning up surprises, book the real one. For a full sequence from zero to certificate, read how to pass the FAA Part 107 exam.
Yes. The 20-question assessment on this page needs no account and no payment, and it returns a full topic-by-topic readiness breakdown across all five knowledge areas. The larger 1,261-question bank, the timed mock exam and the rest of the study guide sit behind the single Complete plan at $29.99 one time.
The Unmanned Aircraft General knowledge test has 60 scored questions plus 5 unscored validation questions that the FAA uses to trial future items. You get 120 minutes and you cannot tell which questions are unscored, so answer all 65 as though they count. The passing score is 70 percent.
Under the blueprint effective 29 September 2025, Regulations is 48 percent of the test, Operations 25 percent, Airspace 20 percent, Weather 5 percent, and Loading and Performance 2 percent. Older sources quoting the FAA-S-ACS-10B percentage bands are obsolete. If regulations are weak, that single area outweighs airspace and weather together.
No. A good practice score does not mean you will pass, and no 20-question sample can predict a 60-question outcome. Nobody can honestly quote you a pass rate from a practice result. Treat the breakdown as a decision aid: it tells you which knowledge area is still producing misses, and when that area stops producing them.
Yes. You can take this 20-question practice test as many times as you like. Answer options are shuffled on every attempt, so a second run does not reward remembering that the correct answer sat in position B. The draw comes from a fixed free pool, though, so repeats will start showing questions you have already seen.
