Your Exam-Readiness Score looks at your real practice history on the exam you're currently studying and blends three signals into one number. It's cumulative — your whole history counts, so going back and mastering questions you used to miss pulls your score up.
The three things it considers
- Accuracy — how often you answer correctly. This is the biggest factor, and it reflects your entire history, not just today's session.
- Coverage — how much of the exam's question bank you've actually worked through. This keeps the score honest: doing great on just a few questions won't make you “Test-ready” until you've seen enough of the material.
- Retention — how well you're holding onto what you've learned over time. Getting a question right again on a later review — especially through Smart Review (our spaced-repetition system) — shows the knowledge is sticking, not just being crammed.
How they come together
Accuracy is the core of the score. Coverage acts as a reality check so a few lucky answers can't inflate it. And durable retention gives you a lift for genuinely mastering the material rather than memorizing it the night before. The result is a score that rewards steady, well-rounded preparation — exactly what passing the FAA written takes.
How to raise it
Keep your daily streak going, work through more of the question bank to grow your coverage, and clear your due Smart Review cards to lock in retention. Focus your misses in Weak Point Focus, and you'll watch the score climb toward Test-ready.
The calculation is the same on the web and in our mobile apps, so your score is consistent everywhere you study.
