• Time: 120 minutes

• Score to pass: 70%

• Where: FAA/PSI testing center

What to bring

• Government-issued photo ID (name must match your PSI/IACRA accounts)

Smart test strategy

1. First pass: Answer what you know instantly; skip the rest.

2. Second pass: Work the marked questions; eliminate obviously wrong answers.

3. Final pass: Guess if needed—there’s no penalty for guessing.

4. Use the full time. Re-read any question you flagged for wording traps.

After you pass

• Log into IACRA to finish your application for the certificate.

• You’ll get a temporary certificate first; a permanent plastic card follows by mail.
