Weather was also my perceived weak area, but still pasted with a 90%.
I would say to understand Stable vs Unstable air. And when I say understand, learn why it's Stable and Unstable. I think getting those understood you can then gleam a lot of different weather answers about visibility, moisture, pressure, etc.
Understand MTARs and TAFs, but those are pretty easy.
The charts in the supplement book are horribly blurry... So.... Ya. Just know that.
I used this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asa2fly.prepware.remote
Best $5 I spent! There is a whole section of just weather related questions. Keep doing that section till you can do it in your sleep.
Good luck. The whole 107 experience was very fun for me, little stressful, but fun.
Prepware Remote Pilot app is basically that and helped me tremendously. They really should start paying me for how much I recommend this thing.

This article should be pretty helpful.
I also can't recommend Prepware's Remote Pilot app enough. I can't speak for the accuracy of the recurrent exam portion, but the main exam prep was very helpful and the app still seems to get updates.

was great for studying, don't waste $ on anything more expensive. That app is not %100 of everything on the test, you will need to study more. There are tons of free guides online.

I agree there is zero need to pay tons of money to pass the test that is very, very passable if you have an average IQ. If your IQ is below average don't get a license.
Nonetheless, that said IMHO the only money you should spend on studying is the $4.99 (?) for the <strong>Prepware app</strong> that asks you thousands of questions like what would be on the test and gives you a good way to think about it if you got a question wrong. Put it on your phone and use it while in line, down time, etc.
I used this android app, Remote Pilot, in combination with the FAA study guide to gear up for the exam. The study guide was extremely helpful, and the phone app was nice, because I could drill myself with questions in my spare time. I believe the app was $5 and the study guide is free. Well worth it in my opinion. I passed the test on the first try, with a fairly good score.
This is a list I compiled for someone else who asked the question. Every question on the exam was covered by these resources.
I'm currently using an app called Prepare remote pilot. This app has a lot of questions I hadn't seen elsewhere.
I also love the study section on 3dr's website. After you study, they have a very extensive practice test with questions from actual exams Here.
This website is great. They have 41 questions that are often missed and explanations for the right answer. They also have an email list that I would suggest signing up for. They often send out really good information. They'll also send you a great study guide for signing up.
Lastly, I love This video. It's really long, so I suggest watching it at 1.5 speed.
Good luck!

I self studied for the Part 107 and found the whole process fun and enlightening. I used Prepware Remote Pilot app and basically memorized all the questions and answers. I watched these videos over and over again and listened to them in the car over and over again, get a YouTube Red account (maybe a free trial) and download them on your device and keep playing them:
Best advice I can give you is learn the vector charts! Get to know the air space classes and how they are displayed on the charts. I studied for about a week and half, took the test and passed with an 89.
Good luck.

I passed it recently, so if you prepare and understand the material, it's pretty straight forward. There are paid courses, but I personally think it's for chumps as all the information is readily available for free. Especially when these prep courses cost as much as the test and cert itself.
I will say, I spent $5 on the Prepware Remote Pilot app and that actually helped tremendously as the questions on there were very close to what I saw on the actual test and let me know what the gaps in my understanding were. Well worth the money.
I recommend starting with the Tony Northrup or Better B-Roll videos that everyone always brings up, take notes. That covers the basics. Then watch a couple videos on things that you probably won't understand completely right off the bat like airport traffic patterns, sectional charts, etc.
It's not difficult.
I haven't bought anything physical, but did buy an app called Prepware Remote Pilot which I found extremely helpful because the practice questions are very close in format and content to the real thing.
The FAA does have a Remote Pilot sUAS Study Guide, which, admittedly, I haven't read through, but it does technically cover everything on the test and then some.
I started by watching Tony Northrup's video and taking thorough notes then just going through the app and reading and trying to memorize and understand the explanations. Sectional charts was a big chunk of my test, and seems to be others' as well, so it's good that I took the time to really understand how it all works. This series of videos really helped with that.
Then I watched Better B Roll's video and googled anything I wasn't sure about just to kind of fill in any blanks I had. I felt good going into the test since I understood or memorized majority of the content and was comfortable with the format due to the app and it was all pretty ez breezy except for those three questions I got wrong I guess. Passing grade is 70% so there is quite a bit of leeway.
Videos, an app and some googling for things I didn't quite understand like airport traffic patterns, etc. I paid $5 for the Prepware Remote Pilot app which was actually extremely helpful because I could study on the go and the questions were very similar to what was on the actual test. Definitely worth it, imo.
Like a lot of others have recommended in the past, Tony Northrup's video covers most of the basics. I watched it once and took thorough notes. Better B Roll's video was a nice supplement but at that point I was mostly breezing through his practice questions, but it does cover some things that the Northrup's might not have. These videos helped me feel much more comfortable with reading sectional charts, which is a big part of the test.
Hope this helps.
