For anyone else here with the Part 107 certificate and hasn't renewed yet, I have awesome news.
Unlike the initial test which I must say was ridiculously over reaching with wing loading etc... to renew, you now go to the FAAST website, go through a roughly 2 hour tutorial, you can stop and start as much as you want, then take the final test which is all drone oriented, no in depth chart reading or airspace, more like accident reporting, who to contact for flight notifications, etc.
You do have to get 100% on the test, but it's not bad at all, and they do tell you what question you missed (I did miss one on the first try, misread the question), and the retake is the exact same test!
The best part, it's FREE!!!!
What they don't tell you, and it took me almost 2 weeks of emails and phone calls, but once you pass the test, you print off the test result and certificate, and keep it with your original, no new "ticket" is mailed to you.
I was dreading all this for nothing, especially going to a testing sight all over again, and studying all that chart reading, etc.
Again, this is only for renewal, the original part 107 is still all the same.
I'm passing on this info, because I haven't seen it on youtube, or any of the study sights, and the FAAST sight wasn't really that helpful either. It tells you about the class and test, but says nothing about not needing to send your results somewhere and waiting for a renewed "license" that will never come.
Any questions, just ask. I'm SOOO glad it's over, and it was so much easier than I had thought the second time around.

Not true, if you read the course description, that only applies if you are part 61 qualified. If you are part 107 it clearly states you must take recurrent test at FAA sanctioned facility. Sorry to burst your bubble
