I used the remotepilot101.com website. At first, honestly, I thought it was a total rip off because of the price. However, I will note that the guy running the site is actively updating it and does promise to provide that $150 as a resource for as long as he is in business for your renewal memberships. In essence, you're paying a lifetime membership for his course for a certification you have to renew every two years.

He is very good at listening to feedback and his questions and courses were the most thorough I could find. However, his teaching style is of a type some people may not like. He repeats basic information, A LOT. Some people love that, other people hate it.

He also provides real time practical feedback via e-mail on his website which is nice. After considering the fact he responds to e-mail and the fact he keeps this up to date for life I feel it's worth the $150. If I had known those two things I would've felt better about paying it. I will, however, note that the weather section and the regulation section were a tiny bit lacking and I had to supplement them with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1619544687/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Book which my test center proctor mentioned was a reputable test resource producer. The remotepilot101 guy did not explain the "pilots operating handbook" does not exist yet. He also did not explain squall lines and fronts to the detail the exam wanted, nor did he explain the procedure for entering an air traffic pattern from the pilot perspective.

I ended up with a 98% using both of these for about a week and a half.

I read through this book twice and passed first try with an 88%. Probably 30 hours total studying: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1619544687/

The air spaces are designed in a cone like shape. The closer you get to an airport the lower the ceiling on a given airspace can change. This is the best example I could find online. Some airports have special rules depending on what they do and how big they are on top of the standard rules.

I originally learned this info from the remote pilot test prep guide.

Ok so I passed with a 98% (the one question still bothers me lol) and here is what I used in no particular order

  • Youtube
  • Google
  • 3DR practice test questions
  • https://jrupprechtlaw.com/
  • https://www.amazon.com/Remote-Pilot-Test-Prep-essential/dp/1619544687
  • FAA official study guide

    I read the FAA study guide, did some of the 3DR questions, and searched google and youtube for anything I didn't get and watched multiple videos until it clicked. I did this for airspace, airport markings, weather, METAR/TAFS.

    Then I cracked open the ASA study guide and used that to reinforce everything I had been studying while also exposing me to more questions and concepts.

    I used all 5 practice tests that came with the ASA book and felt they were very helpful to my actual exam with out using the exact same words.

    Don't memorize the questions/answers, learn the concepts! They will try and trick you by changing stuff up, it's best to re-read every question. Learn how to decode METAR, learn where to drop 2 "0s" and make sure you know how to read sectional charts.

    The test only took me about 30 min to complete, however I started back at the beginning and re-read every question and answer to make sure I was going with the one that makes the most sense.

    Plenty of questions seem fairly obvious to any one who has been flying for a while and practices at least a basic level of safety.

    Spread your study time out over at least a week or two depending on how well you cram. I spread mine out over about 3 weeks. The practice test I spread out over 4 days, 2 the first, 2 the second, none the 3rd and one the 4th day, the day before my test.
