How many questions are in the EASA Part-66 Module 2 exam?
The Category A (and B3) Module 2 exam has 32 multiple-choice questions, while the Category B1, B2 and B2L exam has 52 multiple-choice questions. The B1/B2 paper is longer because those categories are tested at a higher knowledge level across mechanics, thermodynamics, optics and wave motion. So the counts are not the same — B1/B2 candidates answer 20 more questions than Category A/B3.
What is the pass mark for EASA Part-66 Module 2?
The pass mark for Module 2 is 75%, the same threshold that applies to every EASA Part-66 module. On a 32-question Category A/B3 paper that means at least 24 correct; on a 52-question B1/B2/B2L paper it means at least 39 correct. Aim comfortably above the line, because Physics questions are easy to slip on under time pressure.
How long is the Module 2 exam?
Category A (and B3) candidates get 40 minutes for the 32-question Module 2 paper, and Category B1, B2 and B2L candidates get 65 minutes for the 52-question paper. That works out to roughly 75 seconds per question in both cases. The paper is sat without a calculator, so practise the lever, pressure, density and wave-period arithmetic until it is quick.
Which EASA licence categories require Module 2?
Module 2 (Physics) is required across Cats A, B1, B2, B2L and B3. It is a foundation module sat by every licence category because the physical principles it covers underpin nearly every other subject. The depth differs by category — Category A and B3 sit the shorter 32-question paper, while B1, B2 and B2L sit the longer 52-question paper at a higher knowledge level.
What does Module 2 cover, and what do students find hardest?
Module 2 spans five areas: Matter (atoms, molecules, states of matter), Mechanics (statics, kinetics, dynamics and fluid dynamics), Thermodynamics (temperature scales, heat transfer, gas laws and latent heat), Optics (reflection, refraction and lenses) and Wave Motion and Sound. The most common trip-ups are confusing atomic number (protons only) with mass number (protons plus neutrons), mixing up heat of fusion (solid to liquid) with heat of vaporisation (liquid to gas), and forgetting that period and frequency are reciprocals (T = 1/f). Each of these is a definition students think they know until a distractor is worded to catch the swap. Working through the sample questions above builds the habit of reading each stem carefully before answering.
How should I revise for EASA Part-66 Module 2?
Split your revision by the five syllabus areas and drill the definitions that are easy to swap — atomic number versus mass number, heat of fusion versus vaporisation, and equilibrium of translation versus rotation. Because the exam is sat without a calculator, practise the short numerical problems (lever mechanical advantage, pressure, density, and period from frequency) until the arithmetic is automatic. Then work through timed sets of practice questions so you can hold roughly 75 seconds per question on exam day.
