Passing the EASA Part-66 module exams requires more than just reading the regulations. You need a structured plan that covers every module, tests your knowledge under exam conditions, and helps you identify weak areas before exam day.

This 30-day checklist is built around the Part-66 syllabus (Appendix I to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014) and covers the 17 basic knowledge modules, the 75% pass mark, and full-length timed module simulations. Whether you are pursuing a category A, B1, B2 or B3 licence, this plan provides the foundation you need. Use it alongside Skylicence Europe for daily practice questions, AI Tutor explanations, and progress tracking.

The Four-Week Structure

Week 1: Assessment & Foundation — Review the Part-66 syllabus (Appendix I), take a diagnostic quiz, identify your weak areas, and build a solid Module 10 regulatory foundation.
Week 2: Deep Study — Dive into the foundation modules (M3–M9) that form the core of every licence category.
Week 3: Practice Mode — Shift from passive reading to active recall with daily quizzes, AI Tutor sessions, and timed practice exams at mixed difficulty levels.
Week 4: Exam Simulation — Take full-length, timed module simulations matching the real question quotas and time limits, review every wrong answer, target weak areas, and arrive on exam day fully prepared.

💡 Tips for Maximizing This Checklist

1.Consistency over intensity: Studying 2 hours every day is vastly more effective than cramming 8 hours on weekends.
2.Active recall beats re-reading: Every time you read a chapter, follow it with practice questions.
3.Track your weak areas: After every quiz, log the topics you got wrong. Spend the next day reviewing them.
4.Simulate real exam conditions: In Week 4, take simulations in a quiet room with no phone, no notes, and a strict timer.
5.Remember the pass mark: Every EASA Part-66 module exam requires 75%. Aim higher in practice — 85%+ — so exam day feels comfortable.
6.Use the Skylicence Europe AI Tutor: When a concept doesn't click, ask the AI Tutor to explain it in plain language.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 30-day EASA Part-66 exam prep checklist really enough to pass?▼

The 30-day checklist is designed for focused, intensive preparation. It works best for candidates who already have foundational knowledge from an EASA-approved maintenance training organisation (MTO) programme or on-the-job maintenance experience. If you are starting from zero, consider combining this plan with an 8-12 week study timeline using the Skylicence Europe adaptive platform to build baseline knowledge before the 30-day sprint.

Which EASA Part-66 modules does this checklist cover?▼

This checklist covers the foundation modules required by every licence category — M3 Electrical Fundamentals, M4 Electronic Fundamentals, M5 Digital Techniques, M6 Materials and Hardware, M7 Maintenance Practices, M8 Basic Aerodynamics, M9 Human Factors and M10 Aviation Legislation — plus the technical modules M11 (aeroplane systems) and M14–M17 (propulsion), aligned with the Part-66 syllabus (Appendix I). Whether you are pursuing a category A, B1, B2 or B3 licence, this plan has you covered. Supplement it with subject-specific practice questions from Skylicence Europe for your licence stream.

How many hours per day should I study?▼

Most candidates should plan for 2–4 hours of focused study per day. Some days in Weeks 1 and 2 may require 3–4 hours for deep reading, while Weeks 3 and 4 focus more on active practice (quizzes and simulations). Consistency matters more than cramming — study every day, even if only for 90 minutes.

Can I print the checklist?▼

Yes! The print view uses a clean white background with black text for easy reading and checkmark tracking. You can also download the free PDF by entering your email in the signup form at the top or bottom of this page.

What if I miss a day?▼

Don't panic. The 30-day plan is a guide, not a rigid requirement. If you fall behind, combine lighter days or extend the plan by a few days. The key is to maintain momentum — completing Weeks 3 and 4 (practice mode and exam simulations) is critical for exam readiness. Use the Skylicence Europe AI Tutor to catch up on missed topics quickly.

Does this checklist include the Part-66 syllabus?▼

Absolutely. The plan is built around the EASA Part-66 syllabus — Appendix I to Regulation (EU) No 1321/2014 — which defines the 17 basic knowledge modules (M1 Mathematics to M17 Propeller) and the depth levels (1, 2, 3) for each licence category. Every module exam requires a 75% pass mark (66.A.25). For a complete breakdown of the licensing process, read our EASA Part-66 licensing guide.
