Study Aids...

It's easy to prepare for your Amateur Radio test! If you are preparing for the No-Code Technician license, then purchase yourself a good question pool study guide. We do not endorse any study aids specifically, but make sure you have a RECENT study guide which covers the current question pool.

There are also several WWW sites that can generate practice examinations! These practice examinations are an EXCELLENT way to study and to determine if you are ready to take the REAL exam. After you have ready your question pool study guide we suggest you take one of the following practice examinations once a day. The practice exams will get you use to the exam format, and give you confidence in your amateur radio knowledge.
