Use the quizzes to check your knowledge

I always tell my university students that quizzes and homework are to be used as an evaluation
tool. This is not a test. Your grade on the quiz is an indication of how much knowledge you
have of the topic. If you do not score well on the quiz, go back and study the videos in more
depth. Ask questions if you still don’t get it. We’re here to help you succeed. You should get at
least 80% on the quizzes before moving to the next section. 90% would be even better.

designed to help you memorize some of the important items for the course. Note that the list
is not exhaustive! Use it as an aid during your studies but remember you won’t be able to bring

You’re almost done with the course, it is time to schedule your exam with an FAA approved
testing center. Locking in a date might be the best way to stay motivated and maximize
knowledge retention. Visit https://faa.psiexams.com to find a testing center near you. Note
that the exam fee is $160 and none of this money (unfortunately) comes to us. Be sure to
