What the Part 107 exam covers (FAA ACS areas)
The questions follow the five areas of the Remote Pilot Airman Certification Standards. The FAA's weighting and the numbers you need to know:
- Regulations (15-25%): under 55 lb, max 400 ft AGL (or 400 ft above a structure within 400 ft of it), 100 mph (87 knots), 3 statute miles visibility, 500 ft below and 2,000 ft from clouds, accident report within 10 days (serious injury, loss of consciousness or over $500 damage), night and civil twilight with anti-collision lights visible 3 statute miles, Remote ID, operations over people Categories 1-4.
- Airspace (15-25%): Class B, C, D and surface Class E need ATC authorization (LAANC or DroneZone), Class G does not; restricted, prohibited, MOA, MTR and TFRs.
- Weather (11-16%): METAR and TAF decoding, density altitude, stable and unstable air, fronts, thunderstorms and microbursts.
- Loading and performance (7-11%): weight, center of gravity, load factor in turns.
- Operations (35-45%): radio calls and traffic patterns, airport operations, emergencies and lithium batteries, decision-making, physiology, maintenance.
Facts checked against the eCFR text of 14 CFR Part 107 and the FAA Remote ID and operations-over-people pages.
How the free Part 107 practice test works
Practise all 219 questions for free, by ACS area or mixed, with a short explanation after every answer. When you feel ready, take a timed mock exam in the official format: 60 random questions, 2 hours, pass with 42 correct (70%). The mock exams cost $6.99, one payment (no subscription) and show which areas you still need to review. That is less than 5% of the about $175 a test attempt costs.
All questions are original MyLevel questions written from the FAA's public material; they are not FAA test items. Our questions are text-only: chart symbols are described in words. For the chart questions, also study the FAA testing supplement FAA-CT-8080-2H and the FAA's free UAG sample questions.
Tips to pass the Part 107 exam the first time
- Learn the Part 107 numbers by heart: 55 lb, 400 ft, 100 mph, 3 sm, 500/2,000 ft, 10 days, $500, 24 calendar months, 8 hours and 0.04 for alcohol.
- Spend most time on operations (35-45% of the test) and airspace: practise reading airspace on a sectional chart with the FAA supplement.
- Decode METARs and TAFs until you can read wind, visibility, ceiling and temperature in seconds.
- Know the hazardous attitudes and their antidotes, IMSAFE and PAVE.
- Take timed mock exams until you score 50 or more out of 60 every time; the real pass mark is 42.
- After you pass: recurrent training every 24 calendar months is a free FAA online course (ALC-677), not a new paid test.
MyLevel is an independent practice site and is not affiliated with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), PSI or any Knowledge Testing Center. All questions are original MyLevel questions based on public FAA material (14 CFR Part 107, the Remote Pilot ACS FAA-S-ACS-10B and the Remote Pilot Study Guide); they are not questions of the official UAG knowledge test. Always check faa.gov for the current rules, test format and fees.

Frequently asked questions
How many questions are on the Part 107 test and what is the passing score?
The FAA's UAG knowledge test has 60 multiple-choice questions, you have 2 hours, and you need 70% to pass: 42 correct. Our mock exams use the same format.
How much does the Part 107 test cost?
The FAA says Knowledge Testing Centers charge approximately $175 for the initial test. Recurrent training every 24 calendar months is a free online FAA course. Our practice is free; full mock exams cost $6.99 once.
Is the Part 107 test hard?
It is a real aviation exam: many first-time drone pilots have never read a METAR or a sectional chart. Operations is the biggest area (35-45%) and airspace and weather are where most people lose points. Practise each ACS area until you score well above 70%.
Are these the real Part 107 test questions?
No. The FAA does not publish its live test items, and we never sell them. Our questions are original and cover the same knowledge from the public ACS, Part 107 and the FAA study guide. The FAA does publish a set of free UAG sample questions on faa.gov.
Do I get a certificate?
When you pass a full mock exam you can download a MyLevel practice certificate (PDF) with your name and score. It is not an FAA document and does not replace the knowledge test or your Remote Pilot Certificate.
What do I bring to the Part 107 test and what happens after I pass?
Bring a government-issued photo ID and your FAA Tracking Number from IACRA. After passing, fill in FAA Form 8710-13 in IACRA with your 17-digit exam ID; after the TSA security check you can print a temporary certificate, and the permanent one comes by mail.
