What's a “readiness goal”?
Each week above lists a target — here's exactly what it means and where you'll see it.
Readiness is your Exam-Readiness score — a live 0–100 estimate of how likely you are to pass, shown right on your dashboard once you start studying.
It blends three things: how accurately you're answering, how much of the full question bank you've covered, and how well it's stickingover time. High accuracy alone won't max it out — the FAA draws from the whole bank, so broad coverage counts too.
Each week's readiness goal is the level to aim for by that point. Hit or beat it and you're on pace. When you're consistently at 90%+ — including three full exam simulations in a row — you're genuinely ready to sit the real test.
Where to find it: your dashboard shows your live readiness score and updates it every time you study.
The 5-step method behind the plan
Every week runs on the same proven sequence. Do the steps in order — don't skip ahead.
- Step 1Answer Imprint
see each question with its correct answer to lock it in
- Step 2Recognition Drill
pick the right answer from shuffled choices
- Step 3Full Practice
work every question mixed together
- Step 4Weak Point Focus
drill only what you missed until it sticks
- Step 5Exam Simulation
a full timed mock — 90%+ three times in a row means ready
