It's a huge part of the test.
The Airman Knowledge Testing Supplement is provided to you during the test. It has the sectional charts that the test questions refer to. Most of the information is in the booklet, you just need to know how to understand and use the sectional charts.

Before I actually flew, I stopped to check out a local R/C airfield and ended up watching a couple of the guys fly their planes. I decided to leave after being informed that the airfield was for club member use only and also drones were not allowed in the air when planes are flying.
