We’ve been running the 10 question daily quizzes on PrepareToTest for the various exams and as part of this we track the overall performance on each question - how many times it was attempted, how many times it was answered correctly, which answers were selected, etc. By looking at the scores its very obvious when people are having problems with a particular question or topic…. Today’s Private Pilot quiz had a good example related to Convective Sigmets.Private question 3495 had the following results:”What is indicated when a current CONVECTIVE SIGMET forecasts thunderstorms?”A - Moderate thunderstorms covering 30 percent of the area.
