Six PPL theory subjects, one engine. Each paper is the same length and the same clock as the Aspeq sitting, drawn fresh from a bank of 1,300 questions written to AC61-3, and marked the moment you submit with a written de-brief for every question you missed.
A code is $5.99 and works on any PPL subject. There is a free 12-question paper to try first, no sign-up.

Questions people ask.
Straight answers. If yours is not here, email support and a person replies.
Six: Air Law, Meteorology, Navigation, Human Factors, Aircraft Technical Knowledge and Flight Radiotelephony. All six must be passed within three years of sitting the first (rule 61.17(c)), and each pass is valid for three years.
70% of the available marks, under rule 61.17(b). If you fail a subject three times inside 90 days there is a 90-day stand-down before you can sit it again.
Aspeq (formerly ASL) runs CAA written examinations at centres around New Zealand. The Flying Kiwi is an independent practice tool and is not affiliated with Aspeq or the CAA.
No. The Flying Kiwi is an independent New Zealand study aid. The papers are built to the same syllabus, question count and time limit as the Aspeq sittings, but the questions are ours and the result is a practice score, not a licence credit.
A PPL exam code is $5.99 NZD, or $29.99 for six, $54.99 for twelve and $99.99 for twenty-four. A CPL exam code is $9.99, with bundles of 6, 12 and 18 codes (one, two or three per subject) at $49.99, $89.99 and $119.99. All prices are in New Zealand dollars.
Unused codes never expire. Once you launch an exam with a code you have 24 hours to finish it, and your progress is saved if the connection drops.
Yes. Each paper is drawn fresh from the bank on the server and the options inside every question are shuffled, so sitting the same subject twice gives two different papers.
