Match Pairs: Part-66 terms and their meanings, against the clock

Three terms from one part of the module on one side, their three meanings on the other, shuffled. Tap a term and then a meaning, or a meaning and then its term, and the pair turns green when it is right and red when it is not. A set is finished when all three are matched.

A miss does not end the set. The pair stays open and you can still finish the other two, but a set with a miss in it counts as wrong. The game rewards knowing all three rather than guessing the first and working out the rest.

The right pairings for every set wait for the end of the round.

A round is 25 sets from one module or from one of its topics, one set on the screen at a time, each with its own clock. A small topic may not hold 25 sets, and then the round is shorter and the start card says so.

Medium, Hard and Brutal set how long each set gets. If the third match is not made when the clock ends, the set is lost and the round moves on.

At the end you see every set, the wrong ones first, with each term beside its right meaning. Nothing is saved, so a round can be replayed at once, and the next round is a new draw of sets.

Because every module has a vocabulary of its own, and a question that uses a term you cannot place is lost before you start on the reasoning. The papers assume the words. This is the game that checks whether you have them.

Three meanings to choose from is a small field, and a miss costs the set, so the game punishes the half known term the way a paper does. What you cannot match at Medium is what to read again in the revision guide.

All thirteen B1.1 modules, on the whole module or on one topic of it. From Module 1, Mathematics, to Module 17, Propeller, the terms come from each module’s own study book.

A plan that covers the module opens its games along with everything else on it. Look round first with an account that costs nothing and needs no card, then choose One Module or All Modules when you are ready to study.

Prep66 is a revision platform for the EASA and UK CAA Part-66 aircraft maintenance licence exams, and the games are one part of what every module has on it. The others are a question bank with a written explanation behind each answer, Fill-in-the-Gaps and three timed mock exams. There is a study book and a revision guide, Blurting on every guide item, and a mistakes review that keeps what you got wrong until you tick it off. Progress reads your readiness score against the 75% pass mark across all of it.

Match Pairs is where the words get learned. The revision guide is where they get explained, the questions are where they get used, and the mock is where they get tested under the clock. One account, one module or all of them.

Match Pairs is the vocabulary game. The other two test your judgement of statements, one at a time or three together, and open from the same Games screen on the same module or topic.
