Does Aviationexam contain all EASA ECQB questions that I will see on my official exam?
The primary objective of our EASA products is to provide students with a test prep solution that represents the actual EASA ECQB as closely and precisely as possible – both in the wording of individual questions as well as in the overall database coverage of the entire EASA exam syllabus. We work hard to ensure our customers get a chance to familiarize themselves with the content of EASA exam question bank and avoid any surprise questions on their official exams. Our database is a remarkably close and precise representation of the questions you will encounter on your official EASA examinations.
However, because the ECQB is not officially available to the public and EASA updates it occasionally, there is a chance you might encounter a small number of questions on your final exam that are not yet represented in our database. Typically there is a slight delay between the time new questions are implemented by the authorities into ECQB and the time these questions are represented in Aviationexam database. The number of these new questions varies subject to subject, but you can rest assured that we work hard to update our database as quickly as we can and provide the best possible tool to prepare you for your exam..

What is the size of your EASA ECQB exam prep database?
The size of the official ECQB (European Central Question Bank) as maintained by EASA is in the range of 10.000 - 12.000 questions. However, due to the reasons briefly described below, there are several versions of the question bank in use by individual Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs).
At Aviationexam we try to provide students from all countries using the EASA ECQB system with a test prep solution that represents the ECQB as closely and precisely as possible – both in the wording of individual questions as well as in the overall database coverage of the entire EASA exam syllabus. Therefore, due to the continued practice of some national CAAs still using their own modified versions of the EASA ECQB, the overall size of Aviationexam database (number of questions) is slightly larger than the size of the main ECQB version managed by EASA. It is through this slightly increased number of questions in our database we are able to provide a very good overall coverage of the various versions of the question bank currently used by the CAAs in individual countries.
We realize that increased question numbers, while providing a great improvement in the ECQB coverage, are not always welcome by many students. It is especially the case right before the official exam dates when the students often wish to cover only the small, but most important sections of the database as part of the last-minute brush-up studies. Therefore, we have created 3 versions of our EASA ECQB exam prep database, each offering a different size (question numbers). Students can easily switch between these versions at any time, depending on the goals of their studies and the stage of their training:
Some information on the background of EASA ECQB development and the causal factors for the existence and use of several ECQB versions by individual CAAs and the associated country-to-country slight variations:

ESSENTIAL = smallest size – only the questions appearing on the exams most frequently
STANDARD = normal size – all possible question versions currently appearing on the exams

Some information on the background of EASA ECQB development and the causal factors for the existence and use of several ECQB versions by individual CAAs and the associated country-to-country slight variations:
The current EASA ECQB has its origins in the question bank used under the former JAA system – the “JAA CQB”. The original idea behind the JAA CQB was that all of the JAA member states would use a 100% identical question bank for the examinations of professional pilots. JAA was supposed to manage the CQB – process the feedback from all member Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) with corrections of errors and implementations of new questions to keep-up with the latest legislation changes.
However, the reality was a different one. The JAA division responsible for the CQB management was under-staffed and under-financed. As a result the system of correcting errors in the CQB at the JAA level was not working properly. Some CAAs started correcting the errors, inserting new questions and removing outdated ones from the CQB by themselves, but these changes were only applied on the national level => they were only very rarely reported to the JAA or processed by the JAA for implementation into the new CQB versions.
This resulted in a situation where little by little the question banks used for pilot exams in different countries started to differ slightly. Some CAAs were using the original JAA CQB while some CAAs were using their own, modified versions of the CQB.
When JAA ceased to exist in 2009 EASA took over the latest version of the JAA CQB (ver 15). Just like JAA the EASA also did not have sufficient number of experts available that it could assign to the management of the question bank – the agency had more important issues to deal with at that time. Result? EASA took the JAA CQB, made only a few “cosmetic” modifications of the most evident discrepancies, renamed it “EASA ECQB - version 1” and rolled it out as the “new” EASA ECQB.
Since 2009 EASA has made a few improvements of the ECQB, but as of 2015 many errors still persist even though the current version is ECQB 03. To the best of our knowledge the goal of all EU countries using a 100% identical question bank for professional pilot exams has not yet been achieved and there are still several versions of the question bank in use by the Aviation Authorities around Europe as of 2015.
We believe that another factor possibly motivating the CAAs in some countries to still use “their own” modified version of an older ECQB (or even of a JAA CQB) is that they have invested a lot of effort and funds into translating the entire database into the national language. Not every CAA has the expert resources available to perform extensive question bank translations on annual basis.

Does Aviationexam contain all FAA questions that I will see on my official written test?
Just like with the EASA question bank the FAA does not publish the complete set of official written test questions any longer. Over the last few years FAA has gradually reduced the number of questions it publishes to only a small fraction of the complete and current database it uses for administering written exams. Furthermore, the questions published by FAA are frequently only sample ones that do not necessarily appear in official examinations in the same format.
Aviationexam has been in the business of providing effective test prep solutions for pilots for over 10 years. Our team of experts includes not only professional airline pilots and flight instructors, but also question bank specialists with an extensive experience and many tools of the trade to ensure Aviationexam products stay on top of the latest FAA updates.
Our customers can rest assured that our staff works hard on a constant basis to maintain our products updated with the latest actual FAA questions. Even though our database does not provide an absolute guarantee of 100% FAA question bank coverage, but you can rest assured that we work hard to keep our database updated to provide the best possible tool to prepare you for your exam..

I got a list of some EASA questions from a friend. Why should I buy your product instead?
Did you get a PDF with compilation of some EASA questions from your friend or a classmate? You can surely benefit from using these questions in your studies - they will definitely help you prepare for the official EASA exams better than not studying any questions at all. However, you should realize there are some limitations and possible drawbacks that you might face when using such material as the only test prep for your exams. Using a high quality test prep system such as Aviationexam will on the other hand provide you with many additional benefits:
These are just a few examples of what additional features Aviationexam products can offer you over the use of a no-name question compilation. Many of the features are even unique to Aviationexam over our commercial competitors!
EASA ECQB COVERAGE
Aviationexam products provide an excellent and precise representation of the various versions of the official ECQB. Individual Civil Aviation Authorities (CAAs) may use different versions of the EASA ECQB and most of the times you never know which one is used by your CAA. For this reason it is good when the test prep system you use covers multiple question bank versions. Typically the free question compilations represent only an incomplete set of questions, based on a single and outdated version of the EASA question bank (at times even a much older version, the former JAA CQB).
ERRORS AND UPDATES
The older versions of EASA ECQB and JAA CQB were “famous” for the large number of errors contained in the questions / answers. While some errors still persist in the official question banks some have been corrected by the authorities and questions + answers rephrased. Occasionally new questions are added by the authorities as well as some outdated ones removed. With a no-name PDF question compilation you probably do not know the type of source and how old these questions are => you could be studying from a material that contains more errors than the official question bank and most likely will miss-out on the latest new question additions.
EXPLANATIONS
Aviationexam is the only test prep system that provides the students with an explanation of every single question in the database by Aviationexam. Even the most complicated questions are explained in our products. It is not the case with a no-name question compilation. If you encounter a question where you are not sure what the proper solution method is, you might spend a lot of time looking for the right study material or a resource. Our customers do not have to waste their valuable time and can devote it to studying the specific materials instead.
EXAM PICTURES
Many questions in our EASA ECQB exam prep database require the students to use a picture supplement such as tables, charts, symbols, etc. With a no-name question compilation the picture supplements are typically not included or their quality and readability is not very good. Aviationexam test prep system always provides you with a high quality picture supplement for every question where it is required.
EASA SYLLABUS STRUCTURE
Every single question contained in Aviationexam database has been carefully sorted into the respective subject and area of the EASA exam syllabus. All questions have also been assigned to the correct competency level such as ATPL, CPL or IR. Our customers can use simple, but effective filters to only work with the question that are relevant to their specific exam competency level. In this way students preparing for Instrument Rating exams can focus only on the greatly reduced number of questions relevant to the IR exams and omit the unnecessary questions that apply only to the CPL or ATPL syllabus. With a no-name question compilation you typically do not know which topic each question belong to and which competency level (syllabus) it is relevant for.

I think I found an error in one of the EASA test prep questions or answers.
The first thing to do is to check the explanation provided for the question. In the case of some difficult or tricky questions the explanation will show a note explaining the common mistakes the students make. If you do not find the answer there you should check to see if there are any user comments posted for this question. Frequently the tricky questions will have quite a lengthy discussion going on and you are likely to find an answer already being posted.
In some cases the answer choices provided by EASA can be ambiguous or "questionable". It is unfortunate and a well-known deficiency of the EASA exam system, but that is the way the questions appear in the official examinations. We typically maintain this ambiguous wording in our database as we believe our customers should get familiar with the question in the format they will eventually encounter on exams. A note on this will typically be posted in the question comments section.
If the question has not been discussed before in the comments section, please, let us know using the contact form in one of the apps or through our website (select the topic “Database Content Issue”). Alternatively, you can always send us an email at support@aviationexam.com. In both cases, please, make sure you mention the ID# of the question.

Do I always need to be online to use Aviationexam?
No, you do not need to be constantly online. If you use one of our apps then you only need to be connected to the Internet for the initial setup (import of your user account data). After this our apps provide full offline functionality – you can take your studies with you even if you have a slow, unreliable or no Internet connection at all. For more detailed info on the offline functionality, please, see the FAQ section of the respective software platform you wish to use.
The availability of dedicated apps with offline capabilities for all major operating system platforms is one of the unique features of Aviationexam you will not find with our competitors. If you wish to use Aviationexam on your iPad (or other device) you do not have to use the web browser like our competitors will ask you to. Instead, you can download a dedicated app that will allow you to study even without an Internet connection. To continue with your studies online or on a different device / computer, simply connect to the Internet and synchronize your user account.

Store
What is the CVN / CVN2 (Card Verification Number)?
CVN stands for Card Verification Number (sometimes called CID - card identification number or CVC - card verification code), and it is one of the ways that merchants and card issuers are working together to increase credit card security. The number is a 3 or 4 digit code that is added to your card on either the back, above the signature strip, or the front, above the embossed number. It never appears on receipts or imprints of your card.
What payment methods do you accept?
The primary method of payment in our eShop is the secure online credit card payment. You can use the following cards: VISA, MASTERCARD, ELECTRON, MAESTRO. The online payments in our eShop are the fastest way of completing your order. Immediately as soon as your online payment is done we can start processing your order. You can activate the question bank subscription immediately as soon as you make the online payment. Another option is to activate the subscription at a later date at your convenience with the activation code.
The most frequent problems that some of our customers experience (when making an online payment) is the fact that some VISA ELECTRON or MAESTRO cards are blocked by the issuing banks for international or online transactions. We recommend that you try another credit card (preferably a standard embossed VISA or MASTERCARD). Alternatively, you can ask someone to help you with the payment – for example ask your family member or a friend to make the payment for you using their credit card. Our system does not require the name on the card to be the same as the name on the order.
The payment can be also processed via PayPal. In this case, please select American Express from the offered types of credit cards at our web page (it doesn’t matter what card do you actually have). The PayPal button will appear. When you click on it, it will transfer you to PayPal pages, where you can login into your PayPal account and process the payment.
If you do not wish to make an online payment or if you do not have a credit card, or experience problems when paying with your card (eg. card is blocked for online purchases) you can alternatively make an offline payment - using a bank transfer directly to our bank account. If you decided to use this method, please, notify us via email at sales@aviationexam.com for further details. When making an offline payment we start processing your order as soon as your payment is received. Please note that the transactions within EU takes usually 1 business day. Transactions outside EU take about 3-5 business days and may contain additional bank fees related to the transaction.

I need to prepare for EASA CPL / IR / EIR / PPL exams – which subscription should I purchase?
All EASA subscriptions cover ATPL, CPL, IR and CBIR/EIR levels for airplanes and helicopters. You can select specific level when you create a new test. For example: ATPL (A), IR (H) etc. So when you study for example for IR, you do not need to go through ATPL questions.
All questions are sorted into individual subjects and areas/subareas for respective competency levels in accordance with current EASA outline.
Unfortunately, we do not offer EASA PPL questions.
All questions are sorted into individual subjects and areas/subareas for respective competency levels in accordance with current EASA outline.
Unfortunately, we do not offer EASA PPL questions.
Can I temporarily pause (freeze) my subscription validity when I’m taking a time off from studying?
No, unfortunately this is not possible. If you expect you might take a longer time period off from your studies we suggest that you purchase a license with a shorter period of validity. When you are ready to resume your studies you can purchase a new license.
When can I start using the subscription I just purchased online?
In the matter of seconds - as soon as the payment is processed. The system will offer 2 options:
In case you received the Activation Code from your friend (as a present or because you decided to take the advantage of purchasing more items under one user name for a better price), you have to process the manual activation as well. Please login at our web page and enter the Activation Code into the yellow line at the subscription detail page (DASHBOARD - MY ACCOUNT - Subscriptions). Confirm it by clicking on "OK" button.
AUTOMATIC ACTIVATION (activate automatically)
When selecting this option, the subscription is activated immediately. There is no manual intervention needed from the administrators of Aviationexam or from you. To use the system through our apps, which do not need the instant internet connection (iOS, OS X, Android, Win apps), please sync the respective app with our server in order to download all data to the app.
MANUAL ACTIVATION (generate activation code)
Manual Activation gives you an opportunity to activate the subscription later. For example you purchase the subscription in January, but you can activate it at will - for example in May or even a year later. To activate the subscription, please login at our web page with your user name and password, at the DASHBOARD - select MY ACCOUNT and click on link Subscriptions. Then click on "USE" button at the bottom of the page.

How can I extend the validity of my current subscription?
Simply purchase a new subscription. It will be added on the top of your current subscription (you will not lose anything).
And if you wish to purchase a subscription now and activate it later, you can do that too. Once the payment for your order is processed, select the option "Generate Activation code". You will be able to find the Activation Code & PIN at the bottom of your subscription page (DASHBOARD - MY ACCOUNT - Subscriptions). Click on the USE button which is displayed right next to the Activation code and PIN in order to activate the subscription.
Anyhow, once your subscription expires, you will not lose your testing history, flags or settings. You will not be able to display content of the database, but we do not delete user's accounts or testing history. All data stays at our server and when you decide to purchase new subscription in the future, you will be able to start exactly where you left off.

I want to study using iPad / Windows computer / Android device / etc... Which subscription shall I purchase?
Select the subscription which best suits your needs in terms of content and length. It does not matter where you buy it (eShop or In-App purchase), it will work on all offered platforms.
User with valid subscription can use the online system at www.aviationexam.com and up to 3 different applications, which don’t need the instant internet connection: iOS, OS X, Android, Win apps at one time.
The user account can be synchronized across all devices through our server.

Later, when you wish to start at your Android phone, sync the app at your Android phone to download the testing history from our server (online system) to the Android app etc. It is good to have the testing history synchronised, because the system analyses your testing history when generating new tests.

Reset progress
In case you would like to start from the beginning, you can reset your progress of a certain subject (or several - that is up to you). This way the system would behave as if you have never seen any of the questions from a chosen subject before. Then the system would again mark questions as incorrectly answered until you answer them correctly at least once. A reset will not influence your flags - they will remain.
To reset your progress at our webpage please go to:
Dashboard - Reports - Progress: display the progress according to your criteria and click on the “…” icon displayed next to progress icon for respective subject at right hand side. The reset button will appear - click the reset button.
To reset your progress through an application please go to:
Dashboard - Reports - Progress: display the progress according to your criteria and swipe the respective bar from the right edge to the left and tap on the reset button.
Make sure you synchronise all your devices after you reset the progress so that the change can apply on all your devices as well.
You can still display your original progress from the last reset or from the beginning of times (from the time you started studying with Aviationexam) - Dashboard - Reports Progress - Show progress from last reset option.

What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM testing modes?
STUDY MODE
This mode is intended for study purposes. What does that mean in practice?
Apart from the subject and level, you can also choose specific subject areas for your test. You can go through explanations, which are available for each Aviationexam question (EASA or FAA test prep), write personal notes or engage in the comments discussion.
There is no time or question limit for a study test. You can also save it and come back to it later.
During the study test, the correct answer is displayed immediately after you select your answer choice (this can be changed in settings). You can mark questions with a pin, so you can easily find them before finishing test. Another possibility is to mark the questions as "for review” or with flags (show 1x in next test, keep testing, do not test).
When generating a new test in STUDY mode, all the tests you have already finished are analysed. For this reason it is recommended to create tests with lesser number of questions and finish those tests, rather than save a test with hundreds of questions.
The system is designed to primarily supply you with questions that you have not seen and the questions that you answered incorrectly (by default). It is to ensure that you go through all available questions and help you go through the mistakes.
Nonetheless, you can also take advantage of the following settings (all explained in the “i” next to the toggle button in Test section):
MY QUESTION PREFERENCES
Note - if you have e.g. 20 questions flagged and you want to have a test with 30 questions, the extra 10 questions will be questions you have not seen before, answered incorrectly or random. (Unseen > incorrect > random)
Note - if you do not see any unseen questions and your progress is not 100%, please click here.
SHOW ONLY QUESTIONS
Note:
To fully benefit from the settings and flags, make sure you sync the applications often. Having testing history and flags synchronised is essential for starting a new test. Also, as mentioned above, keep in mind that only finished tests (ones that are NOT saved) are reflected in the statistics.
EXAM MODE
This mode simulates the official written exam along with the same settings and features that await you when you sit the real exam. You are not allowed to change the pre-set number of questions nor the time limit (both of these values are pre-set to comply with the parameters of the official written exam for each given subject). Exam grading and display of correct answers take place at the end of exam test. Test in exam mode can not be saved. The strategy for exam tests is to cover all areas. It means that a test always contains some questions from each area (with ratio to respect count of questions in a particular area). Also, please note that the EXAM mode disregards your flag settings - if you wish to have a test according to your flag preferences, please create a test in the STUDY mode.
USERS WITHOUT VALID SUBSCRIPTION
Only 5% of questions from each subject is available for users without registration and valid subscription. Registration is required in order to purchase the subscription. User without a valid subscription can make unlimited number of tests, but they will see only 5% of questions from our database.

I want to make sure that I cover all the questions contained in your database - how do I do it?
Online Test Prep System and applications (iOS, OS X, Android, Win) include advanced functions that allow users to gradually cover the entire set of available questions for a specific subject and a specific testing competency level. You can use the STUDY mode for your practice tests. Use EXAM mode in order to simulate the official exam.
For each new test in STUDY mode the system analyses your complete testing history and flags. The new test is generated according to your flags + questions, which you haven't seen before are added on the top to complete your request for selected number of tests. This unique function will make sure that after some time you cover ALL questions in each subject. Anyhow, you can also use advanced settings in order to generate test according to your preferences. You can use following options:
- use unseen questions only
- re-test incorrectly answered questions
- use questions marked as “for review”
NOTE: For more detailed description of the test modes see the topic “What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM mode”.
IMPORTANT !!!
If you wish to cover the entire database of questions for each subject area in STUDY mode, do not delete your completed tests (do not reset your progress). If you delete your completed tests, our server will have nothing to analyze and you’ll start from the beginning.

The online system keeps logging me out - why?
Aviationexam online system is designed to log users out after a certain period of inactivity. Inactivity means not clicking any link for a long time. Presently the automatic inactivity logoff period is set for approximately 25 minutes. This automatic logout feature has 2 reasons:
First is the security of your user account - preventing someone else from using your account should you forget to log out.
Second reason is the test AUTO-SAVE feature = if you experience problems with your internet connection or if your computer restarts itself or crashes your test in progress will be automatically saved by the system. You will be able to restart the test next time you log-in and continue from the exact point where you left off. Without the automatic logout function the test auto-save would not be possible.
The automatic logout function is disabled during a test in progress - even if you spend more than 25 minutes solving one question, the system will not log you out.
However, users are able to individually deactivate this automatic logout function. To do so, please see your settings and enable the option Keep connection live.
First is the security of your user account - preventing someone else from using your account should you forget to log out.
Second reason is the test AUTO-SAVE feature = if you experience problems with your internet connection or if your computer restarts itself or crashes your test in progress will be automatically saved by the system.

After I log-in a test is started automatically, but I did not ask for a test to be started...
If you log-in to Aviationexam and instead of the usual user menu you see a test in progress it is because of the reason mentioned in the paragraph below. You can either continue the test and finish it normally (grade it) or click the "CANCEL" button to cancel this test and to return to the main user menu.
When internet connection is lost or if the internet browser window is closed in a non-standard way (eg. computer restarts or you simply close the window using the "X" icon) while you have a test in progress the test is SAVED automatically for you. If the saved test is in STUDY mode the time will be paused and you will need to start the test manually next time you log-in to continue with it (section "MY SAVED TESTS" on the title page after you log-in). But if the test in progress that was terminated as described above was in EXAM mode then next time you log-in to Aviationexam it will be restarted automatically for you. The time limit does not stop for tests in EXAM mode, so the time keeps running even while you are for example restarting your computer. If you log-in back to Aviationexam.com after the time limit has expired then you will be directed to the Grade Report for this test.

Progress is not 100 % but I saw all questions
What you see in the progress section is questions covered = questions that you answered correctly at least once (seeing them does not influence it, they need to be answered correctly).
Therefore in order to have 100% progress, please use the option in Study Mode test that says "incorrectly answered". Once you go through those questions and answer them correctly at least once, they will be considered as covered and you will achieve 100% progress.
If there are no questions with the settings "unseen questions" it means that you have seen all questions but it does not mean you covered them (=answered correctly)

Then the system would again mark questions as incorrectly answered until you answer them correctly at least once. A reset will not influence your flags - they will remain.
To reset your progress (Dashboard - Reports - Progress):
a) using right mouse button: the “reset” button will appear when placing mouse over respective progress icon - click on it and pop up window will appear - confirm the action
b) working with touch screen: the “reset” button will appear when holding respective progress icon for a sec - click on it and pop up window will appear - confirm the action
Make sure you synchronise all your devices after you reset the progress so that the change can apply on all your devices as well.
You can still display your original progress from the last reset or from the beginning of times (from the time you started studying with Aviationexam) - Dashboard - Reports Progress - Show progress from last reset option.

I want to cover all the questions contained in your database - how do I do it?
Online Test Prep System and applications (iOS, OS X, Android, Win) include advanced functions that allow users to gradually cover the entire set of available questions for a specific subject and a specific testing competency level. You can use the STUDY mode for your practice tests. Use EXAM mode in order to simulate the official exam.
For each new test in STUDY mode the system analyses your complete testing history and flags. The new test is generated according to your flags + questions which you have not seen before are added on the top to complete your request for selected number of tests. This unique function will make sure that after some time you cover ALL questions in each subject. You can also use advanced settings in order to generate test according to your preferences:
- use unseen questions only
- re-test incorrectly answered questions
- use questions marked as “for review”
NOTE: For more detailed description of the test modes see the topic “What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM mode”.
IMPORTANT !!!
If you wish to cover the entire database of questions for each subject area in STUDY mode, do not delete your completed tests (do not reset your progress). If you delete your completed tests, our server will have nothing to analyze and you will start from the beginning.

What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM testing modes?
STUDY MODE
This mode is intended for study purposes. What does that mean in practice?
Apart from the subject and level, you can also choose specific subject areas for your test. You can go through explanations, which are available for each Aviationexam question (EASA or FAA test prep), write personal notes or engage in the comments discussion.
There is no time or question limit for a study test. You can also save it and come back to it later.
During the study test, the correct answer is displayed immediately after you select your answer choice (this can be changed in settings). You can mark questions with pin, so you can easily find them before finishing test. Another possibility is to mark the questions as "for review” or with flags (show 1x in next test, keep testing, do not test).
When generating a new test in STUDY mode, all the tests you have already finished are analysed. For this reason it is recommended to create tests with lesser number of questions and finish those tests, rather than save a test with hundreds of questions.
The system is designed to primarily supply you with questions that you have not seen and the questions that you answered incorrectly (by default). It is to ensure that you go through all available questions and help you go through the mistakes.
Nonetheless, you can also take advantage of the following settings (all explained in the “i” next to the toggle button in Test section):
Note - if you have e.g. 20 questions flagged and you want to have a test with 30 questions, the extra 10 questions will be questions you have not seen before, answered incorrectly or random. (Unseen > incorrect > random)
Note - if you do not see any unseen questions and your progress is not 100%, please click here.
Note:
To fully benefit from the settings and flags, make sure you sync the applications often. Having testing history and flags synchronised is essential for starting a new test. Also, as mentioned above, keep in mind that only finished tests (ones that are NOT saved) are reflected in the statistics.
EXAM MODE
This mode simulates the official written exam along with the same settings and features that await you when you sit the real exam. You are not allowed to change the pre-set number of questions nor the time limit (both of these values are pre-set to comply with the parameters of the official written exam for each given subject). Exam grading and display of correct answers takes place at the end of exam test. Test in exam mode can not be saved. The strategy for exam tests is to cover all areas. It means that a test always contains some questions from each area (with ratio to respect count of questions in particular area). Also, please note that the EXAM mode disregards your flag settings - if you wish to have a test according to your flag preferences, please create a test in the STUDY mode.
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS
Did you know that you can also create a test with questions that are difficult for you? To do so, please see the section Questions -> Difficult -> Choose a subject and the option to start a test with difficult questions will appear.

Application asks me to synchronize in order to revalidate the subscription. What shall I do?
The app requires synchronization with our server at least once a month, in order to verify the subscription. Simply synchronize the software. You do not need to download updated questions and pictures. The verification process is short and does not require a transfer of too much data. It can be run from any internet cafe, public networks, phone etc.
In case you forget to synchronize the software once a month in order to verify the subscription, the subscription will turn inactive. However, with the next sync, it will become active again (if you have a valid subscription purchased through our eShop or App Store or Google Play or Windows Store).

Progress is not 100 % but I saw all questions
What you see in the progress section is questions covered = questions that you answered correctly at least once (seeing them does not influence it, they need to be answered correctly).
Therefore in order to have 100% progress, please use the option in Study Mode test that says "incorrectly answered". Once you go through those questions and answer them correctly at least once, they will be considered as covered and you will achieve 100% progress.
If there are no questions with the settings "unseen questions" it means that you have seen all questions but it does not mean you covered them (=answered correctly)

What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM testing modes?
STUDY MODE
This mode is intended for study purposes. What does that mean in practice?
Apart from the subject and level, you can also choose specific subject areas for your test. You can go through explanations, which are available for each Aviationexam question (EASA or FAA test prep), write personal notes or engage in the comments discussion.
There is no time or question limit for a study test. You can also save it and come back to it later.
During the study test, the correct answer is displayed immediately after you select your answer choice (this can be changed in settings). You can mark questions with pin, so you can easily find them before finishing test. Another possibility is to mark the questions as "for review” or with flags (show 1x in next test, keep testing, do not test).
When generating a new test in STUDY mode, all the tests you have already finished are analysed. For this reason it is recommended to create tests with lesser number of questions and finish those tests, rather than save a test with hundreds of questions.
The system is designed to primarily supply you with questions that you have not seen and the questions that you answered incorrectly (by default). It is to ensure that you go through all available questions and help you go through the mistakes.
Nonetheless, you can also take advantage of the following settings (all explained in the “i” next to the toggle button in Test section):
Note - if you have e.g. 20 questions flagged and you want to have a test with 30 questions, the extra 10 questions will be questions you have not seen before, answered incorrectly or random. (Unseen > incorrect > random)
Note - if you do not see any unseen questions and your progress is not 100%, please click here.
Note:
To fully benefit from the settings and flags, make sure you sync the applications often. Having testing history and flags synchronised is essential for starting a new test. Also, as mentioned above, keep in mind that only finished tests (ones that are NOT saved) are reflected in the statistics.
EXAM MODE
This mode simulates the official written exam along with the same settings and features that await you when you sit the real exam. You are not allowed to change the pre-set number of questions nor the time limit (both of these values are pre-set to comply with the parameters of the official written exam for each given subject). Exam grading and display of correct answers takes place at the end of exam test. Test in exam mode can not be saved. The strategy for exam tests is to cover all areas. It means that a test always contains some questions from each area (with ratio to respect count of questions in particular area). Also, please note that the EXAM mode disregards your flag settings - if you wish to have a test according to your flag preferences, please create a test in the STUDY mode.
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS
Did you know that you can also create a test with questions that are difficult for you? To do so, please see the section Questions -> Difficult -> Choose a subject and the option to start a test with difficult questions will appear.

How many people can use my account?
The registration is valid for 1 user only. Sharing of user name and password is not allowed and it can result in canceling your subscription.
I want to cover all the questions contained in your database - how do I do it?
Online Test Prep System and applications (iOS, OS X, Android, Win) include advanced functions that allow users to gradually cover the entire set of available questions for a specific subject and a specific testing competency level. You can use the STUDY mode for your practice tests. Use EXAM mode in order to simulate the official exam.
For each new test in STUDY mode the system analyses your complete testing history and flags. The new test is generated according to your flags + questions, which you have not seen before are added on the top to complete your request for selected number of tests. This unique function will make sure that after some time you cover ALL questions in each subject. You can also use advanced settings in order to generate test according to your preferences:
- use unseen questions only
- re-test incorrectly answered questions
- use questions marked as “for review”
NOTE: For more detailed description of the test modes see the topic “What are the differences between STUDY and EXAM mode”.
IMPORTANT !!!
If you wish to cover the entire database of questions for each subject area in STUDY mode, do not delete your completed tests (do not reset your progress). If you delete your completed tests, our server will have nothing to analyse and you will start from the beginning.

What are the differences between STUDY, EXAM testing modes?
STUDY MODE
This mode is intended for study purposes. What does that mean in practice?
Apart from the subject and level, you can also choose specific subject areas for your test. You can go through explanations, which are available for each Aviationexam question (EASA or FAA test prep), write personal notes or engage in the comments discussion.
There is no time or question limit for a study test. You can also save it and come back to it later.
During the study test, the correct answer is displayed immediately after you select your answer choice (this can be changed in settings). You can mark questions with pin, so you can easily find them before finishing test. Another possibility is to mark the questions as "for review” or with flags (show 1x in next test, keep testing, do not test).
When generating a new test in STUDY mode, all the tests you have already finished are analysed. For this reason it is recommended to create tests with lesser number of questions and finish those tests, rather than save a test with hundreds of questions.
The system is designed to primarily supply you with questions that you have not seen and the questions that you answered incorrectly (by default). It is to ensure that you go through all available questions and help you go through the mistakes.
Nonetheless, you can also take advantage of the following settings (all explained in the “i” next to the toggle button in Test section):
Note - if you have e.g. 20 questions flagged and you want to have a test with 30 questions, the extra 10 questions will be questions you have not seen before, answered incorrectly or random. (Unseen > incorrect > random)
Note - if you do not see any unseen questions and your progress is not 100%, please click here.
Note:
To fully benefit from the settings and flags, make sure you sync the applications often. Having testing history and flags synchronised is essential for starting a new test. Also, as mentioned above, keep in mind that only finished tests (ones that are NOT saved) are reflected in the statistics.
EXAM MODE
This mode simulates the official written exam along with the same settings and features that await you when you sit the real exam. You are not allowed to change the pre-set number of questions nor the time limit (both of these values are pre-set to comply with the parameters of the official written exam for each given subject). Exam grading and display of correct answers takes place at the end of exam test. Test in exam mode can not be saved. The strategy for exam tests is to cover all areas. It means that a test always contains some questions from each area (with ratio to respect count of questions in particular area). Also, please note that the EXAM mode disregards your flag settings - if you wish to have a test according to your flag preferences, please create a test in the STUDY mode.
DIFFICULT QUESTIONS
Did you know that you can also create a test with questions that are difficult for you? To do so, please see the section Questions -> Difficult -> Choose a subject and the option to start a test with difficult questions will appear.

Progress is not 100 % but I saw all questions
What you see in the progress section is questions covered = questions that you answered correctly at least once (seeing them does not influence it, they need to be answered correctly).
Therefore in order to have 100% progress, please use the option in Study Mode test that says "incorrectly answered". Once you go through those questions and answer them correctly at least once, they will be considered as covered and you will achieve 100% progress.
If there are no questions with the settings "unseen questions" it means that you have seen all questions but it does not mean you covered them (=answered correctly)

Reset progress
In case you would like to start from the beginning, you can reset your progress of a certain subject (or several - that is up to you). This way the system would behave as if you have never seen any of the questions from a chosen subject before.

To reset your progress through an application please go to:
Dashboard - Reports - Progress: display the progress according to your criteria and tap on the context menu icon at the right edge of the progress bar and tap on "Reset".
