I passed the "Part 107" (sUAG) exam this week with a 98% (one wrong). Woohoo!
I had enrolled in the Pilot Institute Part 107 course. I went through the materials three times. Greg and the PI team have done a really good job of putting the "Part 107" materials together. The course materials are divided into around 10 sections (Regulations, OOP, Sectional Charts, Weather, etc.). Each section is further divided into short lessons. Once I felt confident that I knew all of the material, I went ahead and scheduled the exam.
The bulk of the questions on the exam involved reading sectional charts with a few questions on METARs, NOTAMs, etc. I was comfortable with that. There were a handful of questions on the exam which weren't explicitly covered in the course (which was expected). However, if you thought about the question and considered all of the answers, you could usually figure out the correct answer.
One of the questions (the first one on my exam) was about landing a fixed-wing aircraft at night. I don't remember the exact wording, but it was something like this:
Question: You are performing a night landing but coming in too low and too slow. What do you do?
a) Abort the landing and execute a go-around.
b) Apply more throttle.
c) This is normal. Proceed to land.
I got this one right. I'll let you figure out the answer.
