I just took all 3 written, just a heads up for the new testers. Only 60% of what prep ware has is on the test. The rest are re worded or the answer is the question like he said. If you come across a question you've never seen, just do an elimination process and really think about the question and answer.
We are hearing that from our students as well. Some get a test that's 90% the same some 60% like yours. Best of luck on your O&P's.
I can verify this. Just took my writtens beginning of last month (March). Got 90s on the practice tests and low 70s on all my writtens (barely passed) because the wording threw me off. Just passed my airframe o&p studying for my powerplant now.
@@ShogunEthix congratulations. One more test to go.
So basically prepware is pointless
I wouldn't say pointless you can expect 40% of your test to be directly out of prepware another 20% to be re worded prepware questions and the rest to be new questions. Prepware is still an excellent tool the faa just isn't pulling those questions 100% anymore
Don’t just study the questions and answers…the best way to study and pass is to learn the material and have a good understanding of it. This strategy will help you better prepare for your FAA written, orals, and practicals tests because you better understand and know the subjects that you will be tested on
Took three of my written tests from studying prep ware. 70% were from the prep ware book and 30% were reworded, but the 30 percent were just common knowledge. For those that are taking written test. I prefer to just answer the questions you know and go back to the ones you don’t know. If you stick to one question for more than 5-10 minutes then you’ll for sure the same topic from the question you couldn’t answer and will be more difficult.
Took my pp test today third attempt passed with 80
What did you use to study for it? Written test
@@elchristian9765 prepware
Thank you ! Some real solid advice. Know your stuff ! Don’t just learn the questions !
Thanks for the links and valuable information buddy! Best of luck
Thanks for this video, Great information
Just passed my airframe written couple days ago! Just need Powerplant now! Keep up the good work on your videos !
Congratulations, keep on pushing, and thank you.
How was written exam buddy. Iam preparing through prepware app.
@@visakhvisakh6028 honestly for whatever reason I had a hard time with the general… I scored a 70% thought I failed it. The airframe was easier but still wasn’t too confident on the test but made a 81%. Now I’m studying for Powerplant and I think this is going to be the hardest for me at least. I’ve just been using Prepware as well.
@@dunnster09what were you getting on your practice tests? Most guys I know going thru Oreo schools are saying you need to be getting 90 or better before you actually take your test and you should be good
@@mptemplin I was scoring 85-90 consistently. If I was able to pass with those scores consistently 5-8 times I booked for the real thing.
Solid vid
Appreciate the advice 💪
Hi Bryce, thank you for the info. I don't see free study guides by the FAA but 8083 text books. But I real love the way you break it down. Thank you and please make more videos. .
Yes sorry I realize that may have been confusing. The textbooks are free not the study guide. You can download a copy of the ACS or Airman Certification Standards with give you a list of all testable material by the FAA
These are the free handbooks on the FAA website, these are what 100% of the questions that get pulled from. So if you consistently get 90s on your ASA Prepware tests & get familiar with these books you'll easily pass
FAA-H-8083-30 Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook - General
FAA-H-8083-31 A&B Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook - Airframe
FAA-H-8083-32 Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook- Powerplant
Hey man, I just want to say thank you for your videos. Ive been in US Air Force aviation for 20+ years, but still find your civilian feedback and experience helpful. Thanks again
Thank you for watching.
civilian feedback ?? lol. nerd.
hy man, i'm from Brazil, my problem is english, but i understud every thing that you spoke, i'm new in youre youtube channel,could you make a video about pratical questions?
thank you, happy new year.
I just passed my powerplant 3 days ago, and what I noticed is that they would reward the correct answer. And the rewarding comes from the correct answer explanation.
So If you read the explanation of the correct answer and know why that was the correct answer it wouldn’t be an issue.
Some of the questions, they will invert the question with the answer, where the answer becomes the question and the question becomes the answer
The ASA book has the some Oral questions I would get both books though. That same question about spruce wood I got wrong in my Orals and it was not in the jeppesen book. Good luck everyone
found your channel/videos right on time before starting at MIAT this september. I've gotten the generals textbook and reading over it to get familiar with the information. Thank you! is there any tips on what to study first? Generals? Airframe? Powerplant?
Definitely general first. I'm not familiar with MIAT but I'm sure they run the same as most schools. You will take all your general classes then all your airframe, then PowerPlant. My Advice would be to study all through general and airframe so that you can go test for your A as soon as you are done. Then all you have to study for and focus on for PowerPlant is PowerPlant. I waited till the very end and it sucked trying to study for everything.
Little update as a current DME to add to the information you put out on the oral and practical. As of April 2015, the FAA created a testing planning sheet that DMEs must follow. The FAA provides all the oral questions and answers and which project the applicant must complete under the Practical Testing Standard (PTS).
However, on August 1, 2023, the FAA testing standard changed to the current Airman Certification Standard (ACS). Again the FAA will choose all the oral and practical projects and the DME must only ask all of the questions and the applicant must complete all of the practical projects with two additional oral questions pre-project.
The ACS test is scored differently than the PTS. You still have to pass each section of the General, Airframe, and Powerplant section but you are allowed to fail some questions and projects and still pass if you score 70% or better.
The number of oral questions and projects will be determined by your FAA written test scores. What questions and projects will be based on what you missed on the written tests by a code number that will match up to the ACS test standards so you will know what elements in each section to re-study for your oral and practical tests.
I am planning on making a update video since the change, thank you so much for your comment
I am in the middle of testing applicants under the new ACS standard. Interesting those outstanding students in the AMTS schools are doing well. It is those who barely pass the course and missed a lot of school days that just passed the curriculum in the 70% are failing both oral and practical projects. The DME is just a score keeper so the applicant has no one to blame but themselves when they fail.@@brycebuildsit
so just study the 8083?
Im studying now to take my powerplant written exam.... i use preware and gleim both is helping alot
Hey did you sign up for your school ? Where do you take the exam ? Thanks
I got accepted to an A&P school here in Vermont for this fall. Also looking to obtain my Sport Pilot certification ❤
I love to hear it, best of luck.
I just graduated from BTC, hope you have just as good as an experience as I did.
I took all 3 exams just in last week and 70- 80 percent is from prepware plus , some new questions have been added,
Wording of old questions have changed as well in some sections
Good luck guys

I just came across your channel on this video and I love it . I am currently in my final year of aeronautic engineering bachelors degree. Any suggestions on books to read in order to get ready for a training before applying for a job ? Or in case I have to go for an apprenticeship job first . 🙏🏿
Aeronautic engineering is not really my forte but I will say look into Ed Swearingen. He was an Aeronautical engineer who built some of the most incredible business jets in history however he was quoted as saying "I don't care how hard it is to work on or build". For this reason many A&P mechanics hate working on Swearingen aircraft because of how difficult they can be. If you haven't already I would also try and spend some time working in a general aviation maintance shop you will learn so much about how it works and why it fails.
Stumbled across your channel Bryce and love it, please keep creating content. Looking for advice. A little about me, I'm a professional engineer from a top school with a very established career. With my success I've been afforded the luxury of getting into aviation. A few years back I got my pilots cert and now own a Bonanza. My dream is to be able to work on my own plane. I am a very capable engineer and have learned so much about planes in a short time. I even find myself more versed on process and tasks than my local A&P IA. Him and I have became very good friends and I've been helping (pro bono) with annuals and repairs. Can I log these hours and work towards the 8610-2 requirement even tho I was never an official employee? I'm also toying with the idea of classes, being an engineer I'm no stranger to academe but have a full time career I'd have to balance. Any suggestions??
That's awesome man I'm actually going to be having some Bonanza content in a few weeks. Removal of engine and prop after a strike. To your question it depends on your local FSDO. If you keep a log book just like your flight log of the maintenance you have done and your friend who's the A&P signs it off as having supervised the work. The FAA can and may grant credit for practical experience. To the question about school any part 147 school is going to run classes 8hrs a day 5 days a week. Unless you go at night which will take 2X as long to finish the whole program.
Does it matter what year of Prepware you buy
I would get the most recent. I don't believe it has changed for a couple of years, but it's best to have the latest edition.
Im taking my O&Ps in August so the new Airman Certificate Standards will be in order August 1st. Im pretty worried that the changes will change the Oral section alot to the point that the practice questions in the ASA and Jeppesen books will become obsolute.
The questions will be the same. The only thing that changes for the oral is how many you will be asked. That is based on written test scores
@@brycebuildsit awesome thank you for the info
@@brycebuildsit Just found your channel, thank you for all the information man!
Thanks for watching. In trying to give what I can back to the community.
Do you have to go to school to get the certificates
So all anyone needs to do is study and pass all required tests to get certified and that’s it? Or you have to go through certain amount of hours of classroom/instructor training also? And/or hands on training? Thanks for the videos sir …😎👍🏽
I did do a few videos that as well. The short of it, though, is you have to be approved to test, meaning you have to complete a part 147 school. Or work as an aircraft mechanic apprentice for 3 years.
Where is the link to what questions we should study?
I remember a question from my powerplant exam written and the answer wasn't the A B C on asa. Instead they took the answer from the area that explains the right answer that small button you can push to get better detail and clarity Have your students experienced that?
Yes they have, The FAA in there infinite wisdom has discovered a massive shortage of A&P Technicians. So to solve the problem they have made the test harder....
Just getting back into the aviation world after 3 years of law enforcement. Prior Chinook crew/maintainer experience. I've just been accepted to become an apprentice to getting my A&P and I'm just wondering how much of the testing needs to be done at once. Can I take just the general written in a month and take another in a year? If I pass one, is it good for life, or does it expire?
Not saying that's the plan but I'm just wondering how that portion works.
You have 2 years from the day you take your written, but that only matters for 1 or the other. If you take your general written today in 2 years, you have to be finished with your A. The P is actually a separate certificate, so in theory you could start your P after you complete your A
@@brycebuildsit Thank you sir
I take my airframe O&P tomorrow and I’ve been using the ASA O&P prep guide, now I’m worried my DME is gonna pull some wack questions out and I’m gonna fumble. What I’ve been told by my classmates who’ve already taken the exam with him, is that he tends to stick with the ASA book, but idk. This video is scaring me rn lol.
Please don't let it scare you. If you study ASA, you will be fine. The questions are slightly different between all the guides, but what they are asking is the same things.
Also I too dabble in some light tax evasion.
The FAA will give the DME the questions and answers. He does not choose which ones to ask.
Technically, it's actually the 3rd party PSI that generates the test for the DME. But yes he does not choose what to ask
My son is going to Liberty University next fall to start his associates degree in the A&P program. Would you recommend him at least looking over these books to get familiar?
It will not hurt. These are more than likely the books the school will use.
I worked on F-22s in the Air Force, and I was really stupid not getting my a&p when i was in got out in 2015. Looking to enter school again for it to get my license. Better or worse ways to get it. The school costs 54k for 21 months
You may still be able to get it based on practical experience.
@brycebuildsit I've honestly just been away from the field for to long. Looking to get back in the smartest (relearn) way possible without doing 21 months? Idk if possible
Well I'll say this not every 147 is the same. The one I teach at is only 18 months and about 15k total tuition because it's a public school. I'm in San Antonio though
You can’t rely on Prepware alone too many questions are re worded. One thing I can guarantee all the questions with figures or math/ electrical questions are the same as the test guides
Hey Seth, when you get the electrical/mathematical equations questions. Do you need to know the formulas or are the formulas provided in the questions? Thanks !
@@thatredcam math formulas are provided. You just need to know how to work your calculator. And remember Weight x Arm= Moment and Ohms law E=IxR the rest is provided in the question. Good luck!
@D777ST I’m saying the same thing your teacher is you can’t rely on memorization of answers you have to know why the answer is what it is because FAA written is worded differently than your ASA comps test
@@sethjones9703 E is volts, I is current, and R is resistance, Correct?
@@bigchungus1848 yes. You need to know Ohms law E=IxR
I passed the Genral and Airframe portions using prepware. I tried passing the the Powerplant portion using prepware, but failed 3 times already. Any suggestions?
Other people have mentioned using Dauntless and said that it's more accurate. I can not recommend it as I have never used it but that's what some are saying
I completed my aviation class back in 2005 but never continued to testing, I because a supervisor for UPS and was so stressed I fell out of groove. I want to continue with my aviation career, what would I have to do at this point?
If you have your certificates of completion I would just do a crash course like Bakers School of aeronautics
Since FAA is adding new questions how can we prepare for this ?
What other books can we study?
The new textbooks are coming out allegedly in October, I would say understand the material and theory as best you can. Also be prepared studying for the writtens many questions will be re-worded.
Don't you still have to go to a designated school for 18 months? PS: Where did you get that cool work bench and shelving?
You can either go through an approved Part 147 school or apply based on practical experience (i.e. worked as an aircraft mechanic for 30 months). School is obviously easier but going the job route you will make money.
I just got signed off for my Airframes. Lots of folks recommended Bakers. Any advice for me?
Depends if you went to a 147 school self study might be better. However if you got signed off with practical experience Bakers crash Course might be worth your wiel. I went to bakers for my IA and thought they were great. I did do a video on crash courses and my thoughts.
Do you have a link to the bakers version?
ua-cam.com/video/qTrE07zOvzQ/v-deo.html
So we get to choose which one to go with either powerplant or airframe whichever will allow us to get our a&p certificate or do we have to do both?
You can get one or the other but you will not be as hire able as some with both. It's best to have the A&P and not just the A or P
@@brycebuildsit thank you 🙏🏽 for that clarification got my Ged a few years ago now I can finally pursue something amazing does a big difference on opening doors of opportunity.
Can I ask the DME what books to study for oral because I am studying Jeppens.
Of course you can, he may or may not answer that. The DME I know tells people exactly what to look at
Hey guys , can someone point me to the right direction of how to get Airflame and power plant certificate . Do I need to go to school or I just need to register somewhere for test and do self study . Please I need help , thanks y’all
You either need to complete an approved 147 program or "school" or have 30 months of practical experience
Are these written test multiple choice or short answer questions ?
Written tests are Multiple choice, the oral questions are the DME sits across from you and ask questions and you tell him the answers
Hy actually i wanted to become an a&p but unfortunately its an undergraduate program ( and since i already have a bachelor's in physics) the chance of visa rejection is really high .
So can u plz suggest a master's course related to this field?
Aviation management is the only one I know of
i may be a little late, but are you allowed to enroll in a community college that offers A&P maintenance classes as a certificate? hope things are going well for you brother!
What would you say is the out of pocket cost to get your A&P License these days? Like, ball park figure. 🤔
Does depend on where you go, somewhere like Hallmark or AIM (all tespect to them) 45k if you go to a community college In district it would be 12k after pel grants almost 0
@@brycebuildsit Thanks for the info. Appreciate it 🙏
I'm going to a community college in southern California. It's going to cost somewhere around 7k before grants
Hello, what is the website for downloading the books, please
Go to FAA.gov they have all the textbooks. The study guides are on many websites but I trust aircraft spruce and Specialty co.
Thank you so much
Hey can anyone who has used GLEIM and passed tell me how was it ¿ please it will help do much .¿
Gleim gets the questions from the same bank of FAA released questions that ASA or Jepison uses. It's essentially all the same test prep just put out by different publishers. If that's what you have been studying you should be fine. Again it goes back to making sure you understand the material and not just memorize the correct answer.
Getting my butt kicked got a 65 then 68 on my powerplant written keep getting questions i never seen before. I use prepware to study i get 90s on practice test. Any tips? Or do you know where they may be getting questions from
Many of my students are reporting the same. The FAA has added new questions to all 3 question banks however they are not releasing those questions to the public. My first piece of advice is not to give up, 2nd is review the workbook questions in the text books. Prepware is a great tool also make sure you understand the correct answer and not just memorize them.
Ok thanks
I just passed my powerplant 3 days ago, and what I noticed is that they would reward the correct answer. And the rewarding comes from the correct answer explanation
@@burhansharhan535 what did you use to study?
I took my general and airframe writtens. And got above 80s on both. I’d say on the actual test, once you pick your answer, stick with it. Don’t second guess.
Whats your best opinion on how to study for written
Because it does seem a little unfair that we have to remember so questions and then on top of that to know every single reason to why the answer is the answer .
Still prepware, believe me I know it's allot of information. However you only have to go through the testing process once. Also if you go through a part 147 school you should already know most of the information and reading prepwares reasons will be review. I think I said it in another video but the FAA has identified a large shortage in A&P mechanics so the solution is to make the test harder.
@@brycebuildsit took my general just last Thursday, about 80% of the questions never seen before in prepware (ATL) , how is making the test harder better ?? Like if there is a shortage wouldn’t it be best to shorten the tests ?
A&P Testing Procedures are changing on July 31st 2023.
October 1 is what the FSDO here in San Antonio told us. I hope they didn't move the deadline up.
@@brycebuildsit the 147 requirements have already changed for schools. 8610-2 forms have also changed especially on the AME side. I have been hearing from AME’s nationwide that the O&P’s are officially changing over on July 31st 2023 to the new ACS rather than the PTS. Written tests have already changed.
So whats the best way to study the written then ??
I am aware I teach at a 147 program we have started teaching the ACS but our local FSDO has told us that DME can still test based on the PTS until October of 23. The biggest change is your O&P will be based on your written i.e. the better you do on the written the easier the O&P is going to be. Outside of that several sections have had questions added like composites and ground ops. The FAA has also added new questions to the written test and re worded many of the existing ones. Most of my students are reporting 40% directly out of prepware another 40% is re worded questions, and 20% are completely new. The FAA has said the are no longer releasing the new questions but you are correct the writtens have already changed to ACS. I'm sorry I know that was a long reply but that is what the FAA has told us.
@@brycebuildsit interesting. Sounds like essentially August 1 2023- October 1 2023 will be the transition period where it will depend on region and DME as to how the O&P will work. A few DME’s I have spoken with are already preparing for the transition and have stopped booking tests until after July 31st.
So the best way to pass is to study asa and jeppesen?
Yes, prepware for your written. But the Jepison Oral And Practical Study guide is much better then Prepware for the Oral. Prerware gets really wordy and confusing Jepison is more to the point.
@@brycebuildsit thanks for answering studying right now.
those links are not for the test guide
I'll see if I can fix it.
Does this work for European people?
You can get an A&P but could only exercise the privileges of it in your home country wiel working on U.S. registered aircraft.
Wait so you don’t have to go to school and you can just buy the book?
If you are signed off on your 8610-2 by an airworthiness inspector from the FSDO based on practical work experience. Then yes it's pretty much self study to test.
I already have my A&P I don’t know why I’m watching this lol
I do the same thing sometimes. I appreciate the view and comment though.
Annoying
Do you have to go to school to get the certificates
I did a video on it but the long and short of it is no. You can apply to the FAA to get credit for practical experience. I.e. worked as an aircraft mechanic for 3 years and they can sign you off to test for your A&P
