I bought a Mavic 2 Pro a couple weeks ago and am currently studying for the FAA Part 107 in hopes to eventually make some money on aerial photography. For now I'm just focusing on hobby flying and photography while I get more comfortable with flying. This is my first drone but I used to fly RC helicopters so the flying aspect is nothing new to me. I hope I can learn a lot from the forums and hopefully contribute as well!

Welcome to the forum. I passed the 107 test about 6 weeks ago. It isn't too difficult. You'll get a source book with a sample legend that contains a lot of information if you get stuck. Also, if you knew everything in the following guide, you'd pass for sure. There are tons of other resources out there but this one is free and covers almost everything.

A friend suggested this guy's video as well, he said watch the video first and then read the FAA study guide:

Do you recall anything that wasn't covered in that study guide?

No. Not really.

Some of the questions are based on getting information from an actual chart. So in that sense, the ability to look at an actual site and interpret the symbols isn't really covered in the guide even though the guide tells you what to look for. Using latitude and longitude and interpreting location is discussed in the guide but actually putting it into practice is a slightly different concept. Those types of skills are better gained by working with someone who has experience.

However, I'm sure I remember 95% of the 60 questions. Of those questions, all of them were addressed to some extent in the guide. I'd be willing to wager that if you knew absolutely nothing other than what was in the guide, you'd at least get an 85%. A 70% is required to pass.
