The report after that drill

Here's what you get back.

How many answers met practice criteria, what to work on next, and for every question what you said and what to add. Every point comes from an FAA handbook page you can open and study.

What to work on

You went quiet for about 9s before one answer. Say the part you're sure of first; the examiner expects a pause, not a freeze.

3 answers opened with 'I think' or 'maybe'. State it plainly; hedge only when you really aren't sure.

Question 1: How are current, voltage, and resistance related in an electrical circuit?

Met
You said

“Um, okay. So voltage is, like, what pushes the current, and resistance kind of works against it. The more resistance you've got, the less current you get. That's Ohm's law, I think.” … “If the resistance stays the same, the current doubles too. Yeah. It doubles. So they're, um, directly proportional. It's a straight line.”

What you got
  • In most cases, the greater the circuit resistance, the less the current
  • This relation is linear in nature and is known as Ohm’s Law

FAA-H-8083-30B, p. 12-17, 12-18

Full explanation

The two fundamental properties of current and voltage are related by a third property known as resistance. In any electrical circuit, when voltage is applied to it, a current results. The resistance of the conductor determines the amount of current that flows under the given voltage. In most cases, the greater the circuit resistance, the less the current, and if the resistance is reduced, then the current increases. This relation is linear in nature and is known as Ohm’s Law; being linearly proportional means that if one unit in the relationship increases or decreases by a certain percentage, the other variables in the relationship increase or decrease by the same percentage. For example, if the voltage across a resistor is doubled, then the current through the resistor doubles. It should be added that this relationship is true only if the resistance in the circuit remains constant; if the resistance changes, current also changes.

Sample report. Question 1 is the demo exchange above, as DMEReady's scoring returned it; the results for questions 2 to 5 and the “What to work on” lines are examples of what the report shows. Questions, critical points and references come from our question bank, built on public FAA material (ACS, FAA-H-8083 handbooks, AC 43.13). DMEReady is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with the FAA.

Pick a topic. Talk it through. Get it in writing.

An AI examiner asks real oral questions out loud, follows up on your answers, and ties every point in your report to an FAA handbook page. Knowing the answer and saying it to an examiner are two different skills. This practices the second one.

01

Pick a topic

One topic, a unit of related systems, a whole section, or the ACS codes you missed on the written. Questions you missed come back in later sessions.

02

Answer out loud

Nothing on screen to read. The examiner listens, then follows up on what you said, the way a DME presses on a weak spot. Hear one exchange at the top.

03

Get your report

What you covered and what to add on each question, with the FAA handbook page to study next. See the report for that exchange.

The examiner already has your weak list.

Your Airman Knowledge Test Report lists an ACS code for every area you missed, even when you passed. The real oral is built from those codes. Type them in and rehearse exactly that.

A General oral built from those codes.

One question for each code you missed, plus four random ones and the follow-ups your answers invite, the way the real oral is put together. Retaking a failed oral? The FAA's test generator FAQ says the whole section oral is retested; ask your DME, and rehearse it here.

This isn't for you if…

This only works if you already put the hours in. It finds the difference between knowing something and being able to say it.

  • You want a shortcut that promises a guaranteed pass
  • You want a bank of answers to memorize word for word
  • You want something official from, or affiliated with, the FAA

Straight answers.

Is this the real DME?

No. It is a rehearsal partner that asks questions the way a Designated Mechanic Examiner would, so the real thing is not the first time you say it out loud.

Is it FAA-approved?

No. DMEReady is an independent study tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA. It is built on public FAA sources.

Will it teach me wrong things?

Your report is built only from verified FAA source material, with the reference shown next to each point. If a source cannot be confirmed, it tells you instead of guessing.

Do you record my voice?

We don't keep a recording of your voice. Your answers are turned into text while you talk; we keep that text and your report so you can review them later. We don't sell your information, and we don't share it with the FAA or an employer. DMEReady is operated by Smart Hub LLC. Read the full policy, which names every provider involved.

What if I need a moment to think?

Take it. A few seconds of silence won't end your answer, and if you need longer, say “hold on” or “let me think” and the examiner waits about 15 seconds. Like a DME, it gives no hints and doesn't tell you how you did during the session; that's what your report is for.

How long does a session take?

Four kinds. A Quick Drill is up to five questions on one topic, up to eight minutes. A Unit Oral is about ten questions on a unit of related systems. A Full Oral is the longest real oral for a section: 22 questions for General, 34 for Airframe or Powerplant. An oral from your test codes asks one question for each code you missed, plus four random ones, like the real oral. Follow-up questions come on top.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs right in your phone browser, with no app to download. Headphones in a quiet spot give the cleanest result.
