About the free practice test.
How is the sample paper marked?
The PPAER sample has 30 questions in 54 minutes, the real paper's pace. As on the real exam you need 60% overall and 60% in each of Air Law, Navigation, Meteorology and General Knowledge. 60% overall with an area below it is a partial pass: on the real exam only that area is rewritten, as a supplementary paper.
Where do these questions come from?
They are 42 of the 678 original practice questions in PPL Prep, each written for the app with an explanation and a reference. They are not official exam questions. The free set is fixed: the sample paper and the section practice always use the same questions.
How do I get the rest?
PPL Prep is free to try on the App Store for iPhone, iPad and Mac. It has all 678 questions and full 100-question timed mocks, generated nav logs, loading sheets, METARs and TAFs, and spaced review. Unlocking everything is a single one-time purchase, not a subscription.
