There are also courses of study that may be subscribed to at:
Ham Tests on Line
(NOTE- When you print out these guides, yes, print them... use a Magic Marker to black out all the wrong answers. This way you
study only the correct answers and everything else looks unfamiliar. Seriously, print, black out, study. Just take my word for
it and
do it.)
Study Guides - right click on these links and Save As:
NOTES:
Here's what to do... study the study guides a few evenings. Then begin doing the W5DDL classroom presentations. You can do
one or two a night.
Also begin taking the practice tests. With all of those sites, each time you take the test it will have a different random
draw of questions from the question pool... just like the real test you will take. I would also suggest you take the practice
test on a different site each time. This will help you get used to the appearance of the test being different, just as it
will be when you take the actual test. Take two or three (or more if you have time) of the practice tests each night after
going through a chapter from W5DDL.
By the time you are finished with the W5DDL classes you will be ready for the Tech test, and you will pass.
BUT WAIT!!! There's more!!!
When you are confident that you will pass the Tech, and are passing by 90% or more, begin study for the General. If you are
smart enough to pass the Tech, you are smart enough for the General, too. With the General comes greatly expanded band privileges.
Keep up with studying the Tech guides and the practice tests, but add the General.
