At the end of the course, students will take a practice test and if they score a passing grade, a Certificated Flight Instructor will give the student a logbook endorsement which will allow them to take their private pilot written exam at an approved FAA testing center.
Students are allowed (and encouraged) to take flight lessons while in ground school. Doing so helps with the learning process by immersing oneself inside the airplane's outer and inner workings.
