Congratulations!

To make things easier come checked time….

Start a word document, and do the following for each question marked incorrect.

Copy the ACS code related to the question
Write out the text from that line on the ACS
As best you can remember, AND BEFORE YOUR MEMORY FADES, write out the actual question
Look up in the proper FAA publication and provide the correct answer to the question. Maybe include the reference and chapter/page 5 repeat for other questions

. .

Sit with your instructor to review this document.

This earns you the required endorsement under FAR §61.39(a)(6)(iii)

Presenting this document to the DPE may also short circuit this part of exam in your favor. Instead of quizzing you for 10-20 minutes, DPE sees the correct answers and chooses to move along.

Not the highest but probably good enough to make your oral exam not too bad, nice work

I was told by someone that you don't want too much higher than 90, otherwise you're telling the examiner you're a nerd and should know everything they ask you lol. Whether that's true or not idk.

Congratulations by the way!!

This is NOT hate, but I always find it funny that a lot of y’all airline pilot put all your type ratings in the user flair. Lol.

I think it's cool, you can tell this guy flew some of the coolest aircraft in the world imo

That’s great! In the results sheet, take a look at the codes for the questions missed, those are guaranteed to be asked on your checkride oral. I know I wanted to get a 90 because I would’ve gotten a free t-shirt from my ground school, but alas, I got an 88

Nice! I got an 87 as well. I was a little disappointed to not get over 90 but it literally didn’t affect anything
