Well said.
I fully agree with you.
I'm not sure that everyone understands that the non part 107 info/questions on the test come from the info/questions on the private/sport pilot written test.
Lot of confusion if you don't know.
You may be able to get into a local student pilot study group for little or nothing.
My local EAA chapter does a ground school study group with the two CFIs (Certificated Flight Instructor) we have in the chapter.
Sure you would have to shell out $15 a year to be a member
Sure you would learn more than you need about Aviation but that's not a bad thing.
Don't miss understand me if signing up for a $200 class is what helps you to pass the test then more power to you. Everyone is different.
For my private I had some ground school with my instructor but mostly prepped for the written on my own. Kept studying and taking practice tests which you can do for free until I felt comfortable to take the test.
My long winded point is. make sure you fully understand what you need to do and what your options are before opening your wallet.
All the info is on the FAA website for FREE.

Will you have to read, research, click on a few links, ask some questions,.. to figure it? Yes you will, its how you learn. And if you don't have the time or energy to do it I don't think any class can help.
I have been in education for over 25 years and I have yet to figure out a way to open someones head and poor knowledge in. An instructor can present it to you, but you have learn it, make the effort to understand it. with some guidance you can do it on your own.
Before I paid someone to help me study I would make sure they hold an FAA instructor certificate. A ground Instructor would work for this.
To those of you wanting to take the Part 107 test at the CAT center if you have questions please ask here on the forum.
I know there are lots of pilots on this forum that will help answer questions for you as you prep for your tests.
