Wanted to share some good news—I passed my Part 107 test with a 90%! I started studying just a week ago, using YouTube videos, the FAA study guide, and lots of practice tests. Spent around 15 hours total studying.
Most of my test focused on sectional charts, which made it easier for me. I didn’t get any weather-related questions, luckily, since I struggled with cloud types and fog during practice tests. Now I’ve submitted my application and am waiting for the temporary certificate, followed by the full one in the mail.

Congrats! I’m in high school and taking a UAS class right now. Our whole class will be taking the Part 107 soon, and we don’t have to pay for it!
That’s awesome it’s free for you! Mine cost $175, so I was super nervous about failing and having to pay again. Glad I managed to pass, even with two toddlers running around the house while I studied…lol.
A couple of my coworkers renewed theirs. They said it’s a little easier, but there’s new stuff to learn, like updated regulations. So it kind of balances out.
