The Test

Well, tomorrow I take my test. I'm going to try and take my license exams. Over the past week, I've been studying and taking practice exams. A great resource for this is AA9PW. It has practice exams available, and even to help learn Morse. As a bonus, the tests include the answers you got wrong, and which parts you need to work on. It has been, not only a great tool, but a nearly invaluable asset to help get me prepared.

As for testing, that is a harder thing for most people. Looking online, you're bound to find a group nearby that sponsers testing. In my case, I came across The 220 MHz Guys. They offer testing every two weeks. That's pretty good news since I'm damned excited to take my test sooner rather then later. They even offer a bonus of, if you take your Technical Exam with them, you get an automatic free 1 year membership with there group. Others may offer the same, but some groups may not.

The breakdown, for this group at least, is the testing is $15. You can take the tests until failing, or even pass them all in one sitting. If you fail, you still have a chance to pay to try again.

For me, the testing will be tomorrow. I look forward to it myself.
