Folks -
Is there any sort of study guide or preparation course available for taking the RPAS test from Transport Canada?

If I understand correctly, all MAAC pilots must now pass a RPAS exam

The basic test is 35 multiple choice questions on a wide variety of topics that we might or might not be very familiar with.

Has anyone already taken this test, and if so how did you prepare for it?

Many of us have taken the test, most of us with little to no preparation. Almost all of us passed on the first attempt. It is not difficult although some of the questions are on topics not really relevant to us. Some may disagree but I suggest you try, you may surprise yourself.
