What score do you need to pass the Part 107 test?
Find the FAA Part 107 passing score, question count, time limit, and what a passing UAG knowledge-test result means for the certification process.
The FAA requires a score of 70% or higher to pass the Unmanned Aircraft General – Small (UAG) knowledge test. The test contains 60 questions and allows 2 hours. Passing the knowledge test is a major certification step, but you still must complete the FAA application process before receiving the Remote Pilot Certificate.
The passing score is 70%
The FAA Airman Knowledge Testing Matrix lists 70 as the passing score for the UAG test. Candidates should prepare for the full exam scope rather than target only the minimum score.
Passing the test is not the end of certification
After passing, first-time applicants complete FAA Form 8710-13 through IACRA. The knowledge-test result may take up to 48 hours to appear in IACRA before the application can be completed.
Use the score as a readiness floor
Practice scores above the minimum can provide a larger margin for unfamiliar wording, chart interpretation, and scenario-based questions on test day.
