Part 107 Test Format and Passing Score: 60 Questions, 2 Hours, 42 Correct to Pass

The UAG test at a glance

PSI's Applicant Information Bulletin for the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small test, effective September 29, 2025, and the FAA's testing matrix revised September 25, 2026, agree on the basics:

The unscored questions are how the FAA tries out new items before they count. PSI's bulletin doesn't say which questions they are, so treat every question as if it counts.

What 70% means on the Part 107 test

The pass mark applies to the 60 scored questions. Turning the percentage into counts is Passy's arithmetic:

So the target is 42 correct, and you can miss up to 18. The FAA's statistics for calendar year 2025 put the average UAG score at 79.31%, a little over 47 correct out of 60. The guide to how hard the Part 107 test is looks at what those numbers can and can't tell you.

Your score report gives your overall score and codes for the knowledge areas behind your misses. If you want to see your weak area before test day, planned Part 107 prep tracks your accuracy in each of the five content areas and names the one to work on next.

How the 60 Part 107 questions split by content area

PSI's bulletin gives the share of questions for each ACS area of operation, set by an industry-wide job task analysis completed in 2025. The approximate question counts are Passy's arithmetic on 60 questions.

The last column matters because it's still in circulation. The ACS document, FAA-S-ACS-10B (April 2021), prints the older ranges in its Appendix 1, and you'll still see them quoted in study guides. A practical reading: the ACS is still the list of knowledge elements that can be tested, and PSI's 2025 percentages show how often each area appears today. Under those percentages, Regulations alone is close to half the test, and Weather plus Loading and Performance together come to about four questions.

That shift is why planned Part 107 practice is weighted toward Regulations, with each explanation citing the Part 107 or Part 89 section behind it.

How Part 107 questions are written

What the official documents say about the questions themselves:

• One correct answer. The ACS says each question has "a single correct response" and doesn't depend on any other question. The FAA's published UAG sample questions have three answer choices.
• Not everyone gets the same test. The FAA's testing FAQ says the sequence and wording of questions vary from test to test.
• Images inside the question. The UAG is one of the tests that now embed images directly in questions. From October 26, 2026, some UAG questions use up-to-date images from the latest sectional charts that aren't in the testing supplement. The Part 107 sectional chart guide covers that change.
• Current rules only. The ACS test tips say to answer "in accordance with the latest regulations and guidance publications."

The ACS also gives practical tips: mark a hard question for review and come back after the easier ones, read all the notes on a calculation question, and, for a graph question, ask for a printed copy you can mark up. Before the test starts, the center offers a short practice tutorial on the software, and the FAA says you can enter comments on any question while you take it.

What PSI provides in the room, and what you may bring

PSI's bulletin and the ACS set the rules for materials:

The test center gives you:

• the testing supplement book (for the UAG, FAA-CT-8080-2H, per the FAA's matrix)
• a counted number of blank scratch-paper sheets
• a writing instrument (you may not bring your own)
• possibly a basic calculator, flight computer, plastic overlays and dry-erase markers, which centers may provide but aren't required to

You may bring, if they relate to the test: scales, straightedges, protractors, plotters, navigation computers, blank log sheets, a standard nonelectronic handheld magnifying glass, and an aviation or basic arithmetic calculator. The test software already has a four-function calculator. A personal calculator must have its memory cleared in front of the proctor before and after the test, and the proctor can refuse it if its erasure can't be confirmed.

Leave outside the room: phones, watches, notes and reading material, dictionaries, bags, wallets, pens and pencils, food and drinks, hats (religious apparel excepted), coats, hooded clothing and shirts with pockets. You'll be asked to empty your pockets at check-in. A prohibited item found in the testing room invalidates your result.

Two more PSI rules: you may leave the testing area only under proctor supervision, with one candidate on a restroom break at a time and a sign-out and sign-in, and timers are shown on screen and at the site because watches aren't allowed.

Your Part 107 score report

You receive one printed Airman Knowledge Test Report (AKTR) at the center. The FAA's testing FAQ says it shows your name, FAA Tracking Number and score, plus Airman Certification Standards codes "related to any questions you may have answered incorrectly." A code such as UA.I.B.K21 points to a knowledge element in the ACS, here operating limitations such as altitude, visibility and cloud clearance.

Keep the original. You need its 17-digit exam ID to apply in IACRA, where the FAA says the result may take up to 48 hours to appear. For tests taken on or after January 13, 2020, you can reprint a copy from your PSI account. If you didn't pass, the failed Part 107 test guide explains how to read those codes and when you can retest.

What could change the Part 107 test, and what hasn't

As of October 27, 2026:

• The ACS is still FAA-S-ACS-10B, effective April 6, 2021, on the FAA's ACS page.
• Printed supplements are still at test centers. The FAA's September 2026 advisory says no removal date has been set and that the public will get "ample notice."
• Part 108, the FAA's proposed rule for beyond-visual-line-of-sight drone operations, was proposed on August 7, 2025, and its comment period was reopened on January 28, 2026. The Federal Register shows no final rule, and none of the FAA testing pages or advisories checked for this guide announces a change to the UAG because of it. Until a final rule is published with an effective date, the test covers Part 107 as it stands.
• PSI's systems are moving to a new Test Taker Portal; the FAA says exam content, standards, oversight and security stay the same.

A 2-hour, 65-question sitting is long enough that pacing matters. Try the free Part 107 practice questions to get used to the style, and if you want a dress rehearsal later, a full 65-question, 2-hour rehearsal is planned for Part 107 prep at launch.
