I am going to be taking the 107 test within the next few days....any suggestions are welcome BUT ai have a specific question, am I allowed to bring in my own charts, or are the ones they provide large enough for normal use.....they are lots of information, and small charts are not useful.

The sectional charts in the booklet are easy enough to read. But make sure you remember to pack reading glasses if you usually need them. Good luck with the exam.
A drawing square (at least 6" on two sides) can be useful for determining exact Lat/Lon positions on the provided charts. Depending on your eyesight, a magnifying glass can be useful as well. A simple non-programmable calculator is allowed and can be of use for some of the questions.
You'll get a copy of this exact thing: https://www.faa.gov/training_testing/testing/supplements/media/sport_rec_private_akts.pdf which is what all the test prep resources reference. They won't ask you about some part of a sectional chart you've never seen. Everything referenced will also be on the computer, but if your test site is like mine, it was Windows 3.0 quality graphics, the book was easier to read. You can take a calculator but I didn't need one.
Thanks, on the weather "charts" do they list the names of the states in the map? On uva school, they leave the states names off the weather chart, Really lame
Every question will refer to a specific figure in the booklet. You won't have to hunt around for the right image.
And yes, all computer. You do get your results right away. You can take your time, go back and review anything you want. You really aren't going to have to do any heavy lifting. You won't need to break out a compass and protractor and make calculations.
Have a look at a sample test, the real test will look pretty much just like this: Sample Test - Part 107

They provided everything I needed from a calculator to a magnifying glass. Bulk of the test concerned charts, then weather questions.
Thanks, I did pretty well with that, a few more days study and I think its time. Any other suggestions?
I found a helpful thing was to be able to avoid the distractors in the answers. Sometimes it helps to read the multiple choice answers and work backwards. Many of the wrong answers are blatantly wrong. This was also the most comprehensive prep video I watched
Did you notice on those old-fashioned weather maps if they actually listed the states... I guess I should know where Nevada and you thought an Arizona all the time just curious?

Use care when filling out your identity info pre-test...your name must match exactly as you go through the Iacra application process later on. Images, charts, etc. appeared on the monitor for me but using the test supplement book was easier. My test site provided the book, a basic calculator, which I did not need, and paper and pencils which I did use to calculate the elevation for one question...simple addition. Most chart questions refer you to a numbered area on the chart, however, I had one question asking me about the airspace for a railroad inspection job between two small towns with no reference to the area of the chart involved. Took me a few minutes of close searching the chart to find the two towns, which turned out to both be in Class G airspace. I had seen a similar question on a practice exam, but with different towns that were in other classes of airspace. So you have to have your thinking cap on for the test. Good luck!
