What are ACS codes and the ACS lookup?
The FAA's Airman Certification Standards (ACS) break each test into coded knowledge areas (e.g. PA.I.A.K1). Every question is tagged with its ACS code, and our free ACS code lookup lets you paste the codes from your test report to see exactly what each one means and what to study.
