Quick Study for Your Technician Class Amateur Radio License

I must admit, I was a bit dubious of this purchase when I learned that the book was mostly the 400-ish exam questions available on the internet. I found the author's strategy of learning the easy parts of the material and skimming or skipping the rest suspect, too. But, the author has a point: the faster and more effortlessly you pass the licensing exam, the sooner you can get on the air and begin learning through experience.The book presents 100% of the possible exam questions, first presented with the correct and incorrect answers (correct answers are specified), and later again with ONLY the correct answers. While you may think you don't care about incorrect answers, learning what is wrong helps you just as much as learning what's right. Plus, it is not informative seeing a correct answer that simply says, "All [or none] of the above answers are correct."I ignored the author's advice to only concentrate on certain sections. I wanted to learn it all, and I feel like I did a pretty good job. Spending about 5 hours over the course of two days, I feel confident that I can pass the licensing exam.I recommend this book. In all, this offered a more structured and quicker approach than simply taking mock exams on the internet.

Ditto on the question's and answers_ Highly disappointed . https://hamstudy.org or just as good http://aa9pw.com/radio/general/ is FREE ! The ARRL website has vastly improved on any and all questions a person may have about ham radio as a whole. Also most of the Volunteer Testers in my geographical area use hamstudy.org site to test their students. There is no mystery. Most of the folks who want Licenses already have a background in electronics such as myself . Otherwise a person can just memorize their way thru the q&a and that works for them as well.

This book is for the July 2014 - July 2018 question pool. Obsolete after July 2018. I used it to study for the Technician exam. I studied for about a week before the test and passed it on my first try. I am going to use the author's study guide for the general exam when the radio club offers the exam next.

I really like this book. It is very informative and well written. It contains a complete list of all the questions from the question pool to study. I am scheduled to take my technician test next month and have complete confidence I will pass with no problems.

A very useful supplement to the ARRL "Ham Radio License Manual." I found using the Kindle handy for doing drills when carrying a large book would be inconvenient. Drill with either the correct answer alone or all answers from the question bucket. I did drill a fair amount and got 100% correct on my exam. Being prepared means very low test anxiety. You might want to print out the figures from the question bucket because the graphics may be a bit small on your screen.

The book had nothing new or any explanations of the question's content. It was a waste of money. You can learn as much from the on-line study guides. I was hoping for some background content for harder questions so I can learn. But alas, it was only rote memory from taking the on-line quizzes that got me 35/35 correct answers. It's only value was having all questions an the correct answers in one spot. However, soon to be out dated.

I bought it for friend... Now all I have to do, is get him to open it up and read.

Great if you only want to pass the test. If you want more information use the ARRL book. After going through the book I can pass the practice tests with 0-3 wrong.
