The Part 107 knowledge test is a single exam covering thirteen areas of aeronautical knowledge, from the regulations and airspace to weather, aircraft loading, and night operations. Section 107.73 fixes exactly what those thirteen areas are — the same list that later governs recurrent training — and the panel below groups all of them into a study map so you can see the shape of what you are learning rather than a flat list of thirteen bullet points. The test is given in the manner the Administrator designates; § 107.73 is what guarantees it always covers these same areas.

To sit the test you must present proper identification, and § 107.67 is specific about what it must show: your photograph, your signature, your date of birth — which has to establish that you meet the age requirement — and your permanent mailing address. If that address is a post office box, you must also give a current residential address. One thing the rule deliberately does not do is state a passing score. Section 107.67 sets that there is a minimum passing grade but leaves the actual number to the Administrator, so the current FAA test standards, not a remembered figure, are where that number lives.

If you do not pass, the rule builds in a short pause rather than a penalty. Under § 107.71, an applicant who fails the knowledge test may not reapply to take it for 14 calendar days after the failure — enough of a gap to study the areas you missed and come back ready. Once you do pass, you hold the evidence the next steps need: an airman knowledge test report that, under § 107.63, is what you submit to apply for the certificate itself.
