How we check every question

Updated October 20, 2026

An AI examiner is only useful if what it asks, and what it listens for, is right. DMEReady doesn't make questions up during your session. Every question and follow-up is written and checked against FAA text before it goes live, and the examiner can only ask what is already in the bank.

640+oral practice questions, each tied to one ACS element

2,300+follow-up questions, written and checked in advance

Every pointthe examiner listens for comes with the FAA page it is from

What every question goes through

It starts from FAA text. One ACS element and the public FAA material that covers it: the FAA-H-8083-30B, 31B and 32B handbooks, AC 43.13-1B and similar documents. If that material doesn't support a good question, we don't write one.
Every answer point has a quote. Each point the examiner listens for must match a sentence in the FAA document, and a program checks that the quote appears word for word in the source.
Separate reviewers try to break it. Independent AI checks look for an answer the text doesn't support, a wrong or outdated source, a safety statement made weaker than the source, and follow-ups that don't follow from the question.
A person approves it. Only questions that pass those checks and are approved by a person go into the live bank. If a problem turns up later, the question is taken out until it is fixed.
The examiner can't improvise. During your session, the AI chooses the next follow-up from the prepared ones that fit your answer. It doesn't write new questions or new answers on the spot.

One question, start to finish

This is a real question from the bank, shown the way the examiner and the scoring use it.

ACS element AM.I.C.K2 · General · Weight and Balance

“What is the most important reason for weighing an aircraft?”

What the examiner listens for

Weighing finds the empty weight and where the aircraft balances empty (the empty-weight CG).
“The most important reason for weighing an aircraft is to find out its empty weight (basic empty weight) and to find out where it balances in the empty weight condition.”
FAA-H-8083-30B, Aviation Maintenance Technician Handbook – General, page 6-5
Before a flight, the pilot in command has to know the loaded weight and the loaded CG.
“When an aircraft is to be flown, the pilot-in-command must know what the loaded weight of the aircraft is and where its loaded CG is.”
FAA-H-8083-30B, page 6-5
Those can't be worked out without the empty weight and empty-weight CG first.
“For the loaded weight and CG to be calculated, the pilot or dispatcher handling the flight must first know the empty weight and EWCG.”
FAA-H-8083-30B, page 6-5

A follow-up the examiner may ask

“You have the empty weight and EWCG from the scales. Why does the pilot-in-command need them before a flight?” Its answer is points 2 and 3 above.

How your answer is scored

After the session, your spoken answer is turned into text, the claims in it are compared with these points, and your report shows each point as covered, partly covered or missed, with the page to read.

What we don't claim

Scoring is automated and can misjudge a spoken answer, especially when speech is transcribed wrong. Your report shows exactly what was heard, so you can check it. DMEReady is practice for speaking your answers; it isn't a human DME, it doesn't grade you for any certificate, and it doesn't predict or guarantee an exam result. It is an independent study tool, not affiliated with or endorsed by the FAA.
