On Jan. 30, ATEC submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Request to the FAA seeking the release of every question and answer utilized for the aviation maintenance technician general, airframe and powerplant knowledge test (A&P test).
ATEC has recently received reports of vague, inaccurate or unanswerable A&P test questions. Only a few hundred sample questions are available, a small fraction of the total number in the “test bank.” Once the questions are made available, the council will ensure industry has the opportunity to review and comment on their accuracy and clarity. If you have questions or comments or have encountered similar issues with the A&P test, please contact atec@atec-amt.org.

Any proper management of test questions includes an ongoing analysis to insure a proper ratio of successful versus unsuccessful answers. Any question falling out of that pass/fail range (say 70-90%) should be deleted from the bank. With such a large sampling of applicants this technique will quickly weed out questions which are either confusing, too difficult, or too easy, thus insuring a quality testing experience.
