| Test format details | The standard noncommercial knowledge test has 40 questions with 40 minutes available. The rule’s class-dependent ceilings are 50 questions and 60 minutes; these broader limits do not contradict the handbook’s standard format. The rule separately publishes an 80% pass mark. | Official source 2 · PDF page 8 |
