Amateur Radio Technician test

You need to get 26 correct out of 35 (74%).

A good site for practice exams is http://www.arrl.org/exam-practice.

A site a friend of mine used to upgrade to General is hamexam.org. There, you can look at all the questions in the question pool, with only the right answers shown. Good for the "memorizers" among us.

 

Personally I feel it would be in someones best interest to actually learn the theory instead of memorizing the correct answers ...

 

You mean, like back in the olden-days ?

 

Ham Radio goes well with Trucking.

I've heard the test described as being somewhat less complicated than the written exam for the CDL .

I'm sure you will pass the test.

 

Well you know what they about opinions..........

 

By the time you memorize the answers to all 426 questions in the pool, you will have a handle on what little theory there is on the Technician test.

FYI, the majority of the Technician exam is on rules and regulations, safety, and operating practices. Very little involves actual radio. The higher class exams are a lot more theory oriented.

 

If your passing the ARRL test go ahead you will do just fine. Most of the radios now being used are not the old Heathkits alot of us started on by building our own radios.

 

Study for at least the General test as well. There’s no addition cost for taking it (and the Extra) at the same time you take the Technician test.
