Failing is not the end. Here is the retake process, what it costs, and how to use your score report to pass next time.
You need 70% (42 of 60). If you fail, wait 14 days, pay the $175 fee again, and retake. Your score report shows which knowledge areas to fix.
Most people who prepare do pass, but not everyone does on the first attempt. Knowing the retake rules takes the fear out of it.
The Part 107 knowledge test has 60 multiple-choice questions and a two-hour limit. You need 70%, which is 42 correct answers.
After the test you receive a report that lists the knowledge areas where you missed questions, shown as ACS codes. Those codes tell you exactly what to study. Decode them with our ACS Code Explainer and focus your two weeks on those topics.
Once you pass, you have 24 calendar months to complete your certificate application through IACRA.
