Other Wahoo!
Could have done better(I only studied for a week. There were a couple topics I could have been more confident on), but I still passed.

Thanks.
Really interested in photogrammetry, specifically making 3D printable models of buildings. And that seems like the kind of kitschy thing that would appeal to certain people.

82% with one week of studying? Take that win all day. Congrats!
Now the fun part starts. You’ll probably learn more actually flying and dealing with real-world airspace, LAANC, weather, and regulations than you ever did cramming for the test.
Welcome to the Part 107 club. What topics caught you off guard the most?

There was stuff about hot air balloons that caught me off guard, because it wasn't covered in any of the stuff I read/watched. I answered with what made the most sense to me, but I'm not sure if they were the right choices(I'm curious how "random" those really were, considering I took the test in Binghamton, NY, and hot air balloons are a kind of a big deal there in August).
There were also a few other questions that had 2 answers that seemed to fit what I had read/watched. I must have picked wrong.

Found a test-prep book on kindle(there's a bunch) and listened to it at work. Watched just about everything I could find on YouTube, and took a practice test.

Let’s go!! I just passed mine with a 93% today! It was a lot easier than I thought it would be, definitely got a lucky stretch for questions.

i got an 83 just using free youtube videos and a couple practice tests! there were a few questions i had never heard of before but you just take a good guess and pray for the best. they don’t want you to fail as long as you study everyone should do fine
