Maybe I'm the last to find out, but as of September 30, 2007, the FAA has changed the subject codes for knowledge tests. I figured this out the hard way after seeing unfamiliar codes on my student's written and having a difficult time finding out what they meant. Thanks to Gleim's web site, I learned about the FAA's new "learning statement" system.

AC 60-25F will still be posted on the FAA's site for a while because tests are good for two years, and tests prior to October of this year refer to these old codes. Meanwhile, there is a list of the new codes on the FAA's site, which I still can't find by browsing, but found through Gleim's link.

The new codes appear to be an improvement. They give a better idea of what specific task needs to be accomplished in order to make up for what was missed. Instead of organizing subjects by their reference publication, the new system puts them in order by topic.

No, you are not the last to find out. Thanks for letting me know.
 
I found out after passing the commercial exam and saw the new codes that don't match my older book. Is there a way to match the new codes with any questions like the old system did?

Thank you as well....

Printed and added to the book along with the old list. It would be my luck it would have come up during my CFI oral if I didn't know.
 
This is news to me too. Thanks Kate.

I noticed the question banks that are published still reference the older knowledge codes.

I've been working on a training website organized around the test questions. I wonder if I'm going to half to start all over.

So do the Gleim test prep books, which is why they had the note on their web site. I see no such easy-to-find red flag on the FAA's web pages... go figure.
