Did you study the pool question or a book?



I was worried about this. I was hoping it would be a walk in the park with common sense questions.

I hate to say it. But you can actually memorize the test. Even if you don't know about circuits, band assignments, etc. The Technician pool is around 424 questions. The actual exam is only 35 questions with roughly 3-4 questions per each section.

If you want a little more background on why, then I studied out of the Licence Manual back in the day.

Don't stress out studying. Just take it section by section until your comfortable enough to take the multiple choice test.
Section T1 Amateur Radio Service - 11 questions possible, only 3-4 will be picked
Section T2 Authorized Freqs - 12 questions possible, only 3-4 will be picked
...
etc.

I used this free website and knocked out each of three levels, one at a time, on the first attempt.


Each time I was sure I failed, but each time I easily passed.



Memorization was really the key for me.
