When studying to become a pilot, you will need to carry out a number of pilot exams. The FAA Private Pilot written test is a total of 60 multiple choice questions with three possible answers for each. You’ll have 2.5 hours to complete the questions and you’ll need a result of 70% or over to pass the exam.
If you have failed one of your written exams you will need to retake it to move onto the next section of learning. You will book in to retake the test after 30 days, in which you’ll need to continue your learning to prevent another failed result.
Before you can take the test again, you might need to get endorsed by an authorized instructor to ensure that you are serious about retaking the test. This can come in the form of a written statement, signed logbook notation, or a completed Authorized Instructor’s Statement that can be found in the failed test.
