How to build a study plan for the PPL(A) exam

2026-05-18

A good study plan is half the battle on the PPL(A) exam. Instead of one long session right before the date, it's better to study regularly in short blocks.

Split the material by subject

Divide your study across the 9 exam subjects. Start with the ones you find hardest — usually meteorology and navigation.

Study daily, even briefly

Short daily sessions (15–30 minutes) cement knowledge more effectively than a single marathon. Daily goals in the app help you keep the rhythm.

Review your mistakes

You gain the most by returning to the questions you get wrong. Pilot Test Zone automatically brings your mistakes back until you master them.

Test yourself before the exam

Finally, sit a few mock exams under conditions close to the real test — with a time limit and a pass threshold.
