You are gonna want to practice that UAV a lot. Figure you are going to be slower on the real thing. If you make a compass and put it on a pencil and spin it, you can do it a lot faster.

Ok sweet. That is what I have been doing.
No pressure, but I would aim for 1.3 seconds or less with near perfect accuracy on the UAV app. When I went in for my 2nd bite I thought I was set, because I was hitting 1.8ish on the app. It didn't translate over quite as well as I would have hoped, I was getting 2.5 average and got two wrong.
Practice for accuracy, speed will follow.
Got it. How is the real thing? Do you select with the mouse or keyboard?
Mouse. You identify the target, then you have to click with the mouse. Its a little different than the app, as you are aiming for "parking lots" that all look identical, and the text is below, not above. Also the screen with the little airplane on the left on the app? Totally different. Just remember for the test, the orientation is the way that the arrow is pointing. I would reccomend hitting the flashcards (you can find all over the forum) as well, just so you are at least familliar with different formats.
Do you happen to know or can reference where I may find these emergency procedures and what button/twist to do?
Jantzens Sim, look around the options menu. Read the instructions.
Are there different versions of Jantzens Sim? The one I have is https://jantzenx.github.io/ASTB/ which doesn't have emergency procedures in the instructions.
Yeah, thats the old school one made by Jantzen himself, and he hasn't been active on here for years. Here is the most recent one, most recently updated by MotorCookie like two weeks ago so that the knobs emulate the actual test: https://jomo1-1.github.io/ASTB-remade/

If you didn’t study heavy, just use your first attempt as a trial run. You’ll either do well enough or you’ll learn what you need to study
Will do, I studied 5-7 hours a day for about two weeks, and the weeks prior were studying/refreshing for the ASVAB as I didn't take the SAT.

My first attempt was pretty eye-opening. I bought a joystick and throttle set and I’ve been really working on Jantzen’s sim. I would focus more on ANIT and PBM if you’re going for Aviation. If you’ve got UAV down pat and are pretty comfortable with inverted flight controls you’ll do okay
I'll focus primarily on the ANIT now, I feel pretty comfortable with most of the stuff on there, grew up around boats and airplanes/military, as well as some general aviation knowledge, I have a few hours. I have the UAV down with the compass trick, would like to get faster but shouldn't be an issue. Played a lot of flight sims with a stick and throttle but now I'll practice Jantzen's sim since I just got the hotas.
Thank you.

What’s the inverted flight controls?
