FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician General (AMG) Knowledge Test — Federal Aviation Administration
Before you can add an airframe or powerplant rating, every aviation mechanic (A&P) applicant sits the FAA General knowledge test: 60 multiple-choice questions in two hours with a 70 percent minimum. The questions cover electricity, drawings, weight and balance, materials, mathematics, physics and regulations. SummitCert gives you question practice with explanations, flashcards, a timed mock exam and progress tracking, so you can find weak topics before test day.

FAA A&P General exam requirements & cost
Straight from the certifying body — separate from what we charge for the study portal.
The FAA Aviation Maintenance Technician General knowledge test has 60 multiple-choice questions and a 120-minute time limit, drawn from the Airman Certification Standards (FAA-S-ACS-1). The minimum passing grade is 70 percent (14 CFR 65.17), and the content spans 12 areas, each weighted about 8.3%. This portal's practice mock has 60 questions; the FAA oral and practical tests are separate. The minimum passing grade for each FAA test is 70 percent (14 CFR 65.17). The FAA does not set the fee: a 2022 testing-center schedule listed about $175 for the General knowledge test and the FAA describes such fees as approximate, so confirm the current price with your test center. The content outline spreads questions across 12 areas; the largest are Fundamentals of Electricity and Electronics (8.4%); Aircraft Drawings (8.3%); Weight and Balance (8.3%). The full list of areas and weights is on the portal exam page. To earn a mechanic certificate you must be at least 18, read, write, speak and understand English, and have 18 months of practical experience per rating (30 months for both) or graduate from an FAA-certificated maintenance technician school (14 CFR 65.71 and 65.77).
