One in three sit it twice.
CASA examines the whole private-pilot syllabus in a single sitting, and it costs $217.24 every time you sit it. Between 2020 and 2025, a third of candidates walked out needing to book another one. A full-length mock of that exam here is $14.99.
Five things in every mock.
No add-ons, no subscription.
Australia examines the PPL in one sitting. So does this: air law, met, nav, human factors, systems, performance and planning, radio, in one exam.
Sixty questions in three and a half hours, including the type-a-number questions, on the same 210-minute clock as the sitting.
Score, percentage and pass or fail against the 70% mark, the moment you submit.
Every wrong answer explained, with the Part 61 MOS unit and item to revise: the same numbering as the KDR your examiner will go through with you.
Every figure a question needs is printed in the question, and the standing data sits in a reference panel inside the exam. No charts, no subscriptions, no documents to chase. Unused codes never expire, either.
Answer one, then read why.
Three questions from the bank. Pick an answer and you see what the de-brief shows after a paid mock: the correct answer, the reasoning, and the Part 61 MOS item it came from.
One of the three is a type-a-number question. CASA uses them for distances, weights and times, and they catch people out on the day. Notice that everything you need to answer is in the question itself: no chart to own, nothing to look up.
In Class G airspace at 6,500 ft the VMC criteria for an aeroplane are:
Why
Sixty questions, split like this.
Every mock is drawn to the same split, so the balance you meet here is the balance you meet on the day: heavy on air law and on loading and performance, lighter on radio, with the calculations spread through navigation, performance and planning. The Part 61 MOS units behind each area are the ones your KDR will cite. What the sitting itself involves is set out in full on the PPLA guide.

Submit and the score is on screen. Then every question you got wrong comes back: what you picked, the correct answer, the reasoning, and the Part 61 MOS unit and item to revise.
CASA issues a Knowledge Deficiency Report for the items you miss on the real exam, and your flight-test examiner goes through it with you. This is the same map of your gaps, only earlier, when it is still cheap to fix. After a paid mock it is emailed to you as well.
Q23 Inbound to a Class D aerodrome, the tower replies with your callsign and ‘standby’. You may…
In Class D, two-way communications established between the pilot and ATC constitute a clearance to enter. The test is whether the controller used your callsign. ‘Standby’ is not a refusal; ‘remain outside controlled airspace’ is.

Never the same exam twice.
Every mock is drawn fresh from a bank of 669 questions to the eight-area blueprint, and the options inside each question are shuffled. Sit it twice and you have sat two different exams.
There is nothing to memorise, which is the point: the real exam cannot be memorised either.
Six full mock exams here cost a quarter of one official sitting.
Six codes are $54.99. One sitting of the real PPLA is $217.24, and the one in three who do not pass it pay that twice. Against the usual prep, the arithmetic looks like this.

The free exam works the same way.
It is a demo, but not a cut-down one: the same clock, the same marking, the same type-a-number boxes and the same on-screen de-brief as a paid mock. The differences are in the table.
It is a fixed set of twelve questions, so it is the same exam every time. Everything else works exactly as it does in a paid one.
No, and it does not pretend to be. The Flying Roo is an independent study aid. What it gives you is an exam built to the same syllabus, the same question mix, the same formats and the same clock, so nothing about the day is a surprise. The official PPLA is sat through CASA's exam provider.
The whole PPLA syllabus, because that is what the real sitting covers: flight rules and air law, meteorology, navigation, human factors, engines and systems, aerodynamics, loading, performance and flight planning, and radio. Sixty questions drawn to a fixed blueprint across those eight areas, including type-a-number items for the calculations. The PPLA guide sets out the format, the cost and the KDR in full.
Unused codes never expire. Once you launch a mock with a code you have 24 hours to submit it, which is generous for a three-and-a-half-hour exam. Your progress is saved automatically if the browser closes.
Yes. Each one is drawn fresh from the bank on the server, and the options inside every question are shuffled. Sit it twice and you get two different exams, which is why three codes is the most common purchase.
Your score and pass or fail straight away, on screen. Then a KDR-style de-brief, on screen and by email: every question you missed, what you chose, the correct answer, the reasoning, and the Part 61 MOS unit and item to revise.
Codes deliver digital content instantly, so there are no refunds for a change of mind. If a technical fault on our side stops you using a code, you get a replacement or a full refund under the Australian Consumer Law. Email support and it gets sorted.
The exam you sit on the day will be one you have never seen before.
Every mock here is one you have never seen either. Sit enough of them and that stops being the thing that decides it.
