Part 107 study guides and remote pilot test prep

Passing the FAA Part 107 Aeronautical Knowledge Test earns you the Remote Pilot Certificate, the license you need to operate a drone for any commercial purpose, from real estate photography to inspection and mapping. The exam is 60 multiple-choice questions with a 120-minute time limit, and you need 70 percent, or 42 correct answers, to pass. The right study materials walk you through every tested area and let you drill realistic questions before you sit the test. Pilot Mall carries published Part 107 test prep from ASA and Gleim, built around the current FAA question bank rather than a free download.

Types of remote pilot study materials

Test prep guides

Test prep guides are organized around the FAA knowledge areas and the question bank itself, so you spend your study time on what the exam actually asks. The ASA 2025-2026 Remote Pilot Test Prep pairs subject review with a book, download, and online practice tests, while the Gleim Remote Pilot FAA Knowledge Test Prep, 3rd Edition leans on FAA-style questions with detailed answer explanations.

Comprehensive reference textbooks

A full textbook teaches the regulations, airspace, weather, and operations behind the questions, which helps the material stick long after exam day. ASA The Complete Remote Pilot is a complete course in one volume for pilots who want to truly understand the rules rather than memorize answers.

Beginner and intro titles

If you are still deciding whether to pursue a certificate, a primer covers the basics of unmanned flight in plain language. ASA Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes introduces drone and model aircraft fundamentals before you move into formal Part 107 study.

Trusted publishers: ASA and Gleim

ASA

Aviation Supplies and Academics has published pilot training materials for decades and updates its Remote Pilot Test Prep each cycle to match the current FAA question bank. Its catalog spans bundled test prep, a comprehensive textbook, and beginner titles, so a single trusted publisher can take you from curious newcomer to certified remote pilot.

Gleim

Gleim is known for its question-bank approach to FAA exam prep, with materials built around answering and understanding the style of questions you will see on test day. The Gleim Remote Pilot FAA Knowledge Test Prep, 3rd Edition is a strong fit for candidates who learn best by working through realistic practice questions.

How to choose the right Part 107 study guide

• How you study: Pick a bundled book-plus-online package like the ASA Test Prep if you want everything in one place, or a question-focused guide if you learn by drilling.
• Depth you want: Choose a reference textbook such as The Complete Remote Pilot to understand the regulations, or a streamlined test prep guide to focus on passing.
• Starting point: If you are brand new to drones, begin with Getting Started with Drones and Model Airplanes before formal study.
• Current edition: Use a current-year guide tied to the active FAA question bank so airspace, weather, and regulation content is up to date.
• Already a Part 61 pilot: Existing manned-aircraft certificate holders can use these materials for the streamlined recurrent path instead of the full initial exam.

Frequently Asked Questions

How hard is the FAA Part 107 exam?

The Part 107 exam is moderately challenging but very passable with focused study, and roughly 85 to 88 percent of first-time candidates pass. Most people find airspace classification, sectional chart reading, and weather interpretation the hardest topics. A current study guide and timed practice tests make the difference between a confident pass and a retake.

How many questions are on the Part 107 test, and what score do I need?

The Part 107 knowledge test has 60 multiple-choice questions with a 120-minute time limit. You need to answer 70 percent correctly, which is 42 of the 60 questions, to pass. Each question has three answer choices, and the exam covers regulations, airspace, weather, loading and performance, and operations.

How long does it take to study for the Part 107 test?

Most candidates need roughly 15 to 20 hours of focused study to prepare for the Part 107 exam. A typical plan combines a study guide, structured review of the FAA knowledge areas, and several timed practice tests. Existing Part 61 pilots usually need far less time because much of the airspace and weather material is already familiar.

What does it take to get a Part 107 drone license?

To earn a Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate you pay the FAA knowledge test fee at an approved testing center, pass the aeronautical knowledge exam, and register your drone with the FAA. The main thing you control is your study materials, so a current guide is the best investment toward a first-attempt pass.

How often do you have to renew a Part 107 certificate?

Part 107 remote pilots must complete recurrent training every 24 months to keep flying commercially. The recurrent training is now a free online course through the FAA, with no in-person renewal exam required. Keeping your knowledge current also helps you stay safe and compliant as regulations and airspace rules change.

Do manned-aircraft pilots need to take the full Part 107 exam?

No. Pilots who already hold a Part 61 certificate and have a current flight review can take a shorter, streamlined online training course instead of the full Part 107 knowledge test. The same ASA and Gleim study materials reinforce the unmanned-specific topics, such as drone regulations and operations, covered on that path.
