Quote: Guys, the knowledge test isn't easy to pass. When I interviewed, 2/4 made it though. We were all current 121 and I talked a little with the other guy who made it through and we both said that we studied an obscene amount of time. We were both typed and flying a jet and still had to study a ton. We both put 20+ hours of time studying for the knowledge test. Looked at tons of gouges online and studied the turbine pilot's book, mental math for pilots, and everything explained for the professional pilot. I don't know what the minimum amount of time needed for me to study, but I was living and breathing it for the month before the interview. I'm not the smartest guy out there so I'm sure a lot of guys could get through studying very little, but not me. Take it for what it's worth, but you should study more than you think you need, even if you're current 121 in the e-jet.
Any idea what they consider a pass? Is it 80%?
