Russ Still at Gold Seal Ground School reports:
“The age-old practice of memorizing FAA knowledge test questions is becoming a really bad idea. This change represents a complete philosophical reset for many test-takers and highlights the FAA’s new doctrine: learn the concepts.
In January, 2020, the FAA announced its new contractual partnership with testing center company, PSI. What it said suggests that major changes are coming to all airman knowledge tests, possibly at the most fundamental levels. Not only are test questions and answers changing, the basic fabric of the multiple choice test may be restructured altogether. We can argue whether the changes are good or bad, but the result is still the same – if the FAA and PSI stick to the plan, rote memorization will become a useless test-prep strategy.”
