Does anyone know what a passing score is on the private pilot exam. I am
just about ready I think. I keep studying the ASA software and I test
about 80-86%. Is that passing? What is a passing score % wise??

Thanks in advance.. skynurse


John,

Just finished mine. Passing is 70, but you DEFINITELY want to strive for a
better grade! I've heard it both ways, but many here have said that the
better you do on your written, the less you're grilled on that stuff during
your practical.

I used the practice tests on Sporty's site. It requires a registration to
keep track of things, but it's free.

Another I used was a site called Kips. It's a great site that lets you
select how many questions you want and I started with 100 and went from
there.. http://www.exams4pilots.org/

I tried to take at least 2 of these suckers a day. I wasn't going to take
the actual test until I was consistently in the 90's.
