Igot my Amateur Extra ticket some time ago. I was able to discover what my score was (the number of questions I got wrong). However, my examiner was not able to tell me specifically which questions I had answered incorrectly, and to this day it still irks me. Isn't the whole point of licensing academic, i.e., to make sure that operators are knowledgeable? I would like to have been able to go back and study on those questions where I obviously didn't have enough knowledge or might have been confused.

So why can't people who pass the test but got a few wrong learn which questions they got wrong? I am not asking for the right choice on the test, only the questions and the answers on the test, so I can go back and figure it out afterwards.


The way the ARRLs tests are generated is randomized and they are graded using a key completely separate from the particular question set itself. When we check your answers we don't even know what the topic was, without finding back the test booklet. Since everything needs to be done in triplicate, the volunteers are usually busy enough keeping accountable with scoring and paperwork already.


Also, while we try to be approachable and congenial (and I haven't witnessed a case where an examinee became combative or even particularly disgruntled) the ARRL's VEC guidelines are very careful to guard both the authority and the objectivity/professionality of the examiners. Perhaps the ARRL feels the integrity of the testing process would be more at risk if there was too much discussion of the test itself?


As to your question in the comments why it can't be an administered computerized test, I don't think that it's entirely due to the ARRL's culture. "We drove to the big city and then didn't get our callsign from the bureau until months had passed" nostalgia or not, tech has been a part of of ham radio for long enough.


I think it's a much more practical concern: our VE group and many others like it does not have a dedicated facility. We hold test sessions every other month in the basement of a Boy Scout office. Dealing with enough laptops or even tablets to service the dozens of examinees who show up would be a nightmare.


Although, in the US, the ARRL is making the rules now (apparently), historically, the FCC examiners did NOT discuss the results of the tests. You were handed the questions and answer sheet, and after turning them in, were told if you passed or failed. It was not considered their place to potentially get into a discussion with the candidate (pass or fail) on the various topics. Even though one might presume that the current volunteer examiners might be more amenable to discussion (than the previous FCC guys), I think it's a good idea to separate the testing from the learning.


Unlike the ARRL, if you take your exam at a session given by the Laurel VEC, the VEs are not only allowed but encouraged to go over the missed questions with the candidates for exactly the reason you state; to help you learn the material.

I am studying for the General exam and have reviewed all of the questions/flash cards.

Now when I want to review the questions again the answers are all highlighted

How to I get rid of the answers and revert to the original questions requiring me to click on the correct answer?

You have a really fine study website-the best. The ARRL one is useless.


Even though I am an electrical engineer, I got questions wrong because they were asked in a weird way. Reading the question pool helped with that. There are sections of transistor design in the ARRL AE manual that are flat out wrong. I have submitted corrections for them.


It IS possible to take all 3 tests at once and pass them. I would get the latest AE book, maybe the general book (OK to get an outdated one), and not bother with the technician book. I would read the free No-Nonsense Technician Class License Study Guide by Dan Romanchik on line for that.


I passed using HamStudy.org! I had just 9 days to study until the next testing day and I was going for my technician license. After just a few days of studying, I felt I was ready for the technician test and started studying for the General license. It was a bit more difficult, but after another 4 days, I knew I had it in the bag. I spent another 2 days studying to keep the information fresh in my brain before the test. This is definitely the best method for a novice that knows nothing about radio. Thanks HamStudy!


Hi, This is the best page to pass the tests of radio amateurs, I study several times and I already have the technician, and I hope to pass the general too soon now, Thank you very much for everything you do to help us who we started.


I am learning to make sure you carefully read the question and all answers before answering. I am finding on the ones I miss are ones I would have recognized the correct answer if I had read it instead of picking the first one that sounded close.


While studying for the Extra I came across several hacks that gave me confidence and helped pared down the question pool. While I memorized the content needed to pass, a lot has developed into knowledge as my radio hobby was expanded.


Been awhile since I saw this post! I will say that hamstudy.org is fantastic!! I recommend it to everyone wanting to get into HAM radio! I took four practice exams prior to taking the test, but I went through every single question and read every card prior to any practice test. I also took section quizzes after I finished a study section just to instill the card info. After the first question run through and test, I then went through the questions again especially on the sections I struggled with the most. I took another test to track my progress, and course corrected as needed. Every person is different, but perhaps this technique will help someone. Thank you for all you do!!!


I have been using online tests to study gor my Amateur General test only to learn that these online sample tests are wrong! Apparently they hive you many wrong answers to confuse you into thinking tgat you need to sign up gor their classes. What has this world come to? This is certainly not in the dpirit of amateur radio! Get the ARRL book and study. That is it. If you need help seek the help of a local club.


My advice is to read the arrl study guide for extra. Take a month or or three. Do practice exams with apps, all the time when your going over 74% take the test. Reading their explainations really sets the meaning into your head so know why the answer is what it is. You will also be proud of yourself for really learning the things you thought were impossible to learn without an engineering degree!
