    So, I think you'll need that information, but the truth is that most people memorize the test pool at the start I think! I think this is how my spouse did it when she got hers. That being said, ham radio has a tradition of "elmer-ing, elmers" so if you feel like you're stuck on something give us a holler and I'm sure if it's not me one of the other licensed radio ops will chime in and try to help out.

    best 73 and looking forward to hearing you got your Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination and after processing what your call sign is!

    Maybe? Take the online practice tests until you're
    consistently scoring over 80% and you should be good.

    Some people disagree with the philosophy of studying
    the test to get your license. Personally, I think it's
    a fine way to get your foot in the door: the real
    learning is going to come after that anyway.
