Prep that earns the sitting.

Aviator IQ is study software for the FAA airman knowledge tests, the written exams you sit at a PSI test center before a checkride or a mechanic certificate. A sitting costs about $175, and a retake costs it again, so the whole point of this tool is to make the first sitting the only one. You practice on the real material, a readiness score tells you when you are genuinely ready, and you book with a number instead of a hunch.

It covers 13 knowledge tests, so most people working toward an FAA certificate will find theirs here:

• Pilots: Sport, Private, Instrument, Commercial, and Airline Transport Pilot.
• Instructors: Flight Instructor, Flight Instructor Instrument, Fundamentals of Instructing, and Advanced Ground Instructor.
• Drone operators: the Part 107 Remote Pilot test.
• Mechanics: the Aviation Maintenance Technician General, Airframe, and Powerplant tests.

Whether you are a student pilot the week before your written or a career changer starting the A&P sequence, you get the same thing: the full question bank for your test, not a sample.

Each test has its own home page with the full bank of 13,481 questions across all 13 tests. Within a test, questions are grouped by knowledge area, so you can drill one topic at a time, take a mixed practice run, or sit a full-length timed simulator that mirrors the real exam. Every question shows the correct answer, a plain-English explanation, and the exact FAA source it came from. The first few categories in each test are free, and one payment unlocks the rest.

Every question quotes its source. There are no paraphrased knock-offs and no guessed numbers. Each item carries a word-for-word quote from the FAA document it tests, and that quote is checked against the source before the question ships. Values like altitudes, distances, and limits live in one place, so a correction reaches every question that uses them at once. When the FAA reissues a handbook, the questions that cite it are pulled for review.

The figures are the FAA's own. Sectional excerpts, approach plates, weather products, and the Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement charts are the same ones you meet at the test center, shown in high resolution so you can zoom in and read them the way you will on test day.

Your readiness score comes from your answers. It runs from 0 to 100 and folds together how much of the bank you have covered, your recent accuracy, how well you recall questions on a second look, how you do closed-book, and your speed. A lucky guess barely moves it. When it clears the 70% pass mark with margin, it is telling you that you are ready to book. Below that, it names the topics still costing you points.
