A lab/site license lets you run our FAA test-prep apps on multiple fixed Windows PCs at your organization—an easy, low-cost way to give students and clients access.
PCs available for walk-up use (e.g., computer labs, classrooms, FBO/flight-school lobbies, or school-owned laptops loaned to students). Machines can be in different rooms or campuses; one license can cover all if you buy enough seats.
Lab seats can also cover instructor/staff office PCs, though individual licenses may be more cost-effective for those users.
Our GroundSchool FAA test preps feature great tools to help students and instructors connect. Student monitoring and tracking is built in and free. Key to this is our www.TestPrepStatus.com website. In addition to letting you see the results of study sessions, it provides a number of
statistics and moving averages that provide a meaningful picture of student activity, strong/weak areas, actual-test readiness, and more.
If you're a student, you can use this to see your own progress as you study.
If you're an instructor or school, you can monitor student progress, organize students into folders/classes, and more.
If you happen to be both a student and an instructor simultaneously, you can make use of both sets of features at the same time.
If you're a school, any or all of your instructors can log in to monitor student progress.
Progress monitoring at our TestPrepStatus.com site works via a permission mechanism - either the
student can request that an instructor monitor their progress or an instructor can request to monitor a student's progress an the requested party must agree. Nothing is done without your permission.
This system is completely free for instructors, students, and schools. It works on all GroundSchool platforms (a few iOS apps have, at the time of this writing, slightly limited support for this) and work regardless of whether our apps were purchased individually, via bulk organizational purchase, or via site/lab license.
For users of our GroundSchool FAA knowledge test preps, the answer is 100% YES. Student progress tracking is built-in and free. It's built in and free regardless of whether your student is using our prep in a lab under a site/lab license at your location, on our app on a mobile device, or on their PC/Mac at home. As long as they are logged into either a lab account or a free dauntless cloud account (any user can create this themselves - it's free and in some cases is done totally transparently), then you can track them. You can track individual students or whole classes.
You can track student progress by subject area. This allows you to zero in on their strong and weak areas.
You can see how regularly they are studying
You can see their scores on simulated tests
The system provides you with a series of moving averages to help you visualize their progress better; these are provided both raw and 'smoothed' so that 'bad luck' on questions plays less of a factor in getting a picture of your student's progress.
Yes, you can organize students into folders / classes, mark past students 'inactive', and so forth.
The best way to see it work is to give it a try yourself TestPrepStatus works fine in demo mode:
Visit www.TestPrepStatus.com and set up an instructor account. Totally free.
Then, you need to link a student account with an instructor account. There are two ways to do this: If you've just created an account on testprepstatus and have no other connection to the prep, the easiest way to do this is to use the 'invite' feature there to invite a 'demo' student that you might have created so that you can see how it works (or, if you have a real student with you, you can try that too!). This is the 'instructor initiated' way of doing it. There's also a 'student initiated' way within the individual apps (usually on the 'test results' screen) where the student can request an instructor to monitor their progress. This way, the system is permission based, as is naturally required.
As the student studies, their scores will be sent up to the TestPrepStatus.com system at the end of each session. As an instructor, you can log in to TestPrepStatus.com from wherever you are and see how they are doing.
Please note that TestPrepStatus.com is currently only connected to our FAA Knowledge Test preps. If you are reading this and are interested in this service for our other test preps, please let us know.
They can buy their own copy for the platform they prefer—or you can provide these to them through our
bulk purchase options.
When they sign in with the same Dauntless Cloud Account used on your lab PCs, progress syncs seamlessly across devices.
We do not share, give, or sell your or your students’ data to third parties for marketing—ever.
Provide individual licenses (also available in bulk). These are lifetime and tied to the person.
Let instructors use any lab-licensed PC or use a lab license seat on their office PC.
Instructors may purchase their own Mac/Android/iOS apps.
Your instructors might not necessarily need to use the app itself. Some instructors get by just by monitoring their student progress at TestPrepStatus.com. This does not require any purchase whatsoever.
One year. You choose the start date. We typically enable access a few weeks early for installation/testing. Please don’t use it for regular study before the start date. Licenses renew annually; you can cancel any time. Site licenses are non-returnable once purchased.
Windows PCs only (no Mac, Chromebook, Android, or iOS) with internet access for authentication, syncing, and updates. In secured networks, your IT team may need to assist with installation/configuration.
Update: Some highly locked-down networks may need an alternate build we provide to lab/site customers. If you hit permission issues, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
Per device. If you have 20 PCs—even if 10 run mornings and 10 run afternoons—you need 20 seats. You may reassign seats when hardware is permanently replaced or retired (not to shuttle seats between active labs by semester).
Intent matters: moving seats due to a planned lab relocation is fine; reinstalling each term to avoid buying enough seats is not.
Bundles reflect common requests and are priced accordingly—even if you don’t use every included test group. Larger customers needing a custom mix: please contact us.
No. Uninstall on the old PC, then install/activate on the new one. This covers normal hardware refreshes—not creative ways to rotate limited seats across many active machines.
There’s no lab-specific demo, but you can try the single-user Windows demo at www.FAAtest.com (about 5% of questions). It’s a great way to confirm fit and compatibility before purchasing.
Usually no, but secured/corporate environments may require an admin for initial setup or activation so lab PCs see the global license. Deployment steps vary by organization; involve your IT team. If you hit roadblocks, our helpdesk can advise.
Update: If strict security policies block normal installs, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
After payment, you’ll receive an email with a site-license keycode. Activating the Windows demo with this key enables site-license mode. Need help? See our unlock help wizard.
Download the Windows demo from www.FAAtest.com. Activate it with your site-license keycode to unlock the full version. Future content and occasional app updates come through the app. If you have trouble getting the version from above to run on your network, try the alternate download version. instead which is tuned for secure networks.
We automate sales and fulfillment, keep pricing accessible for schools, and see additional value when some lab users also buy personal copies. Everyone wins.
Quantities are “up to.” If you have 85 PCs and see 75 or 100, choose 100 for headroom and flexibility. You will not be overpaying a cent since the pricing is based on the bottom figure.
You can if you have enough seats, but individual licenses are often better for long-term staff: they never expire and can be installed on that person’s multiple personal PCs. Note: individual licenses are not transferable once activated and may require IT help in secured environments.
