so ive been studying for like 6 weeks now and im feeling pretty okay about most of it but the airspace stuff is still tripping me up. like i get the basic classes but when it comes to reading the sectional charts and figuring out the ceiling numbers in the magenta circles i just kind of freeze up. been using sheppard air and watched probably half of jason cade's videos on youtube. also went through the FAA study guide which honestly put me to sleep more than once.

the test is thursday and i guess im just looking for anything that helped people in the last few days before. do i keep cramming or just review the stuff im weak on? also is the real test anything like the practice questions or do they word things way differently

the magenta circles thing clicked for me when someone explained it as ? the number with the floor is what matters most for part 107, and if there's no floor listed it goes all the way to the surface. once that sunk in it got easier. the wording on the real test is pretty similar to sheppard air honestly, maybe a little more straightforward in some spots. don't try to memorize every single airspace rule at this point, just make sure you can read a sectional and identify what kind of authorization you'd need. that's like half the questions anyway.

also the weather stuff, know your METARs. they always throw a few of those in.

i took mine about two months ago and was in the same spot the week before. what helped me was just doing practice tests over and over and not even looking at explanations until i got something wrong twice. felt like a waste of time at first but by day 3 i was passing every practice set. the real test felt harder in the moment just because of nerves but the material was basically the same stuff. you'll be fine if you've been studying 6 weeks, most people dont put in nearly that much time
