  3. Write a message to our online helpdesk with A, B, and C.
We will then issue you a complimentary PC code for the same product(s).

Terms:

  1. This offer only valid until our PC sales are back up at our own page. When it's gone it's gone.
  2. The person using the PC software MUST be the same as the person using the iOS/Mac/Android app. Unauthorized 'sharing' is not cool.

FAQ > GroundSchool FAA Test Prep Audio
How many questions are in audio mode?

Our GroundSchool series of FAA knowledge test preps are divided into individual app titles which each cover a number of related tests. For example, our GroundSchool FAA Private Pilot test apps contain study material for the Private Pilot Airplane, Private Pilot Helicopter, Private Pilot Glider, and other tests. Some questions in a given title are common to most or all of the tests in that title while some are unique to specific tests. When you start any of our titles, you are given the option to select exactly which test you want to study and then you are presented with only those questions which our editors have deemed correspond to that test - nothing more and nothing less.

Our FAA knowledge test prep apps also feature an (optional purchase) audio mode where questions and answers are read by a human narrator. The audio mode does not cover all of the questions for a given test - specifically, questions with a large calculative or visual element are not included. Additionally, the audio modes generally do not include explanations for the material and as such won't prepare you well to actually learning the material deeply so that you'll be prepared for new and variant FAA questions. With those caveats out of the way, the audio prep is an extremely effective complementary mode to help familiarize you with questions and answers which you can listen to, for example, in your car. We regularly get feedback from people who love the audio mode and tell us how much time it saved them and how much it helped them learn.

The list below contains the number of questions per title, per test, and in the audio mode for each. These totals are regularly changing as our editors update the material.

The number of questions in the audio versions is generally less than that in our full test banks because the audio does not cover questions that have a significant visual or calculative element. Imagine sitting in your car listening to our narrator read off list of questions for a complicated weight and balance question--it would be boring and pointless. Pointless because not only would it encourage counter-productive memorization, but also pointless because the actual quantitative questions that you will see on your actual FAA test are likely to have different numbers and answers specifically because the FAA these days wants to discourage memorization. Smart pilots use our audio-mode as a supplement to our core test prep app study modes and make sure that they take the time to read and understand our detailed explanations in those modes.

If the totals above don't match what you see in the app:

  • Most important: use the update feature from the main menu of the app to update the content to the latest available. Please check for updates regularly when using the app.
  • Make sure you have no 'filtering' conditions set. For example:
    • Make sure all chapters / study areas are selected
    • Make sure all 'question stacks' are selected
    • Make sure you don't have any search term typed in the search box
    • etc.
It is really important that as soon as you get our test prep app, the very first thing you do is to start it up and click on "check for updates" (or similar) from the main menu. This will update the learning content to the latest and greatest. It's really critical that you do this, especially for mobile app versions. Our editorial team is hard at work updating the content regularly through 2024, 2025 and beyond, so check for updates regularly as you study.
