I bought yours and it made learning simple and enjoyable. I did this to surprise my husband of 30 years who has had a license sincethe early parts of our marriage. He has asked me off and on to consider getting a license and I kept saying no. Well with the help of your book and audiobook, I was able to blow his doors off and pass my technician exam first try. Now if you only had volumes for general and expert, the world would be perfect. Seriously thanks again."

Pass Your Amateur Radio Extra Class Test - The Easy Way by Craig Buck K4IA Pdf

THIS EDITION IS FOR TESTS AFTER JULY 1, 2020 Amateur radio license tests are multiple-choice with three wrong answers and one right answer for each question. Traditional test-prep materials go through the questions and all the possible answers. For the Extra test, you see 622 questions and 2,488 answers but 1,866 answers are wrong! Why be confused and frustrated studying three wrong answers for every one right answer? Pass Your Amateur Radio Extra Class Test - The Easy Way is different. The focus is on the right answers and only the right answers with full explanations - All Ham and No Spam. The book is in two parts. The first explains the concepts covering every single test question with hints and cheats to help you understand recognize the correct answer. The second part is a condensed Quick Summary with only the questions and correct answers. Since you never see the wrong answers, the correct answers will pop out when you take the test. You learn to recognize, not memorize, the right answer. It couldn't be easier! Here are two testimonials: "I just wanted to let you know that I purchased all 3 of your amateur radio license study books, read them all 3 repeatedly and passed all three tests in 3 weeks! 1st week Tech, 2nd week General, and 3rd week Extra class. Your books give the information needed to understand the material and questions and in turn, give the reader the knowledge and confidence to pass the exams. I have wanted to get involved in amateur radio for years and now I have! I will be sure to let everyone interested in amateur radio study material to be sure and read Easy Way Ham Books! Thank you for writing these books." "Thanks for writing the "Pass Your Test The Easy Way" books! I got my Tech license in May, I scored 34/35. I got my General in June, scored 35/35. I just passed my Extra Class test this week and scored 50/50. I went to the same VE's for each test and after the Extra exam and some handshakes, they had questions about how I studied. I showed them my copy of your Extra class book, highlighted, notes written in the margins and so on. I used your books for each exam and they definitely made a difference for me. I did my part as well but your books definitely made it easier. The books are now part of the ham radio reference section in my library. I don't normally go out of my way to thank an author, in fact, I've never done this before but your books made such a big difference for me I felt I should reach out and let you know about it. So, thanks again for writing this series, 73! "
