I’m curious about how difficult the 107 UAG test is, especially since I don’t have much background in this area. I’m hoping to use a professional drone for commercial projects.
Looking for advice on how many study hours are recommended.
Thanks in advance for any advice or help!

I studied for a week and got a 90%. But I tend to really focus on new hobbies, so I pick things up quickly. You might need more or less time depending on how you learn.

Good to know. I’m similar when it comes to picking things up quickly.

Super helpful, I already passed my 107. There’s enough info out there that no one should have to pay for it unless you need the structure of a course.

I don’t mind paying for resources. I bought a book from one of those video links to support the creator. I did my ground school at a local aviation club, but I also trust King Schools, they’re well respected. If you find value in a resource, it’s nice to give back to the creators.

The practice test and that last video were the best resources for me.

Thank you for sharing! I really appreciate it.
I put in about 12-14 hours of study and practice tests. I scored a 77 on my first try.
Get the King Schools video course. Follow the steps and you’ll probably get a 90% or more. I used King for my private, instrument, commercial pilot licenses, and my commercial UAS license.
It took me a couple of weeks to study.
1-2 hours a day for 2 weeks should be enough. I needed a bit more time since I struggled with airspace and weather stuff. I passed with 83%. You might find those sections easier to learn.
I haven’t taken a real test in almost a decade. I had zero aviation knowledge. I studied for a couple hours a day for a couple weeks and got 80%. The regulatory questions tripped me up, but the weather and chart ones were easier.
I’ve shared my study guide a lot, so I made a page on my portfolio with the guide I used to get a 93%. People seem to really like it. Here’s the link to the guide:
Just use YouTube. Don’t waste money on courses.

I did 3-4 YouTube sessions, about 2 hours each, and it worked for me.
I used Pilot Institute training and YouTube videos. I’m in my 40s, so I take longer to learn things. It took me a year to book my test, but I passed with 87%. I’m glad I used Pilot Institute because it gave me well-rounded training.
