Prepware Practice Tests

Prepware Practice Tests (ASA-PWO-TESTS) is a simulated test center from the experts in FAA Knowledge Test preparation. ASA’s practice tests give you the confidence you need to head to the testing center. You have the option to use these practice tests to acquire your test sign-off from ASA staff or show your flight or ground instructor the results (by printing or emailing them) for endorsement.¹ All pilot tests (all aircraft categories) are available, as well as the General, Airframe, and Powerplant for Aviation Mechanics. Select the certification you are preparing for and the corresponding available tests will be presented. The tests represent the most current data available. Features include:

• Information from the most trusted source in aviation training. Questions supported with explanations for correct and incorrect answers, FAA references for further study, and airman test report codes for remedial study.
• Realistic test simulation. Five practice tests use the correct type and number of questions, and the time allowed for your certificate or rating.
• Performance graphs let you hone your studies. Upon completion, review explanations and answers for the entire test and see your grade for each subject.
• Get your sign-off. Submit two of the five practice tests with scores of 80% or better to ASA or your instructor to receive your sign-off and graduation certificate, or print your results for your flight/ground instructor to endorse. Either way, you will have everything you need to schedule your exam with the testing center.¹

¹Aviation Maintenance Technicians will need to meet the experience requirements and obtain their test authorization from their Part 147 school or local Flight Standards District Office (FSDO).
