Hey everyone, I got to take a practice exam today for the tech. and the general and passed them both the funny thing about it was I scored higher on the general test then I did on the tech. test
:lol:any ways when Kirk the vol. examiner who has been helping me study gave me the practice test he said I should go with the general test as well as the tech. test what you guys think I passed the general with a 90% and the tech with a 86 % just practice test though

Lug, absolutely.... You're already paying to take the Tech, might as well and take the General while you're there. Especially that you're already in the passing ranges of the practice exams.
If you're using QRZ to take practice tests, don't randomize it. Start off with test 1 and then go to test 2 etc. If you're consistantly making 80% or better then you're almost sure to pass the real test. When I was studying for my tests I didn't bother going for the actual test until I was making at least 80% passing on the practice exams.
And when I went to take my general I made a 100....
So since you're making that kind of score on both tests I say go for it! You'll walk out of there as a general, and will be able to fully enjoy all facets of the hobby. Then you can go treat yourself to a nice multiband HF/VHF/UHF radio like the IC706MKII or the FT-817/FT-897.
Good Luck on the 11th

Its just the one fee. That's the point. You're already paying to take tech, so you might as well take the general while you're there. It doesn't cost anything extra. You're not paying for each test you take, you're paying for that session. So if you take tech, and change your mind and decide to wait until another day to take general you'll have to pay another 14 dollars.
You're doing good on both practice exams. GO FOR IT. The worst that can happen is you not pass. But from the sounds of things, thats not likely to happen.

With test scores like the ones you've been posting on here I'm sure you will. Most of the people that I've helped get their license have passed whenever their scores started to get to and above the 80% range on qrz.com

Hey all, new user here (just joined today) and I think I'm going to take the plunge. Might as well... already have the ARRL book at home (If i can find it) that my uncle bought for me. He has since passed away and I figured I might as well better myself and do something in my downtime in dispatch at work and read the book.
I will keep you all updated on my progress. Once I find the book I'll dive right in.

i used the license manuals and practiced on qrz and eham, those tests really helped, i aced the tech in jan, aced the general in march, and passed the extra 4 days later (didn't ace that one, in truth it was maybe the hardest test I've ever taken) and my electrical engineering background was zero before i picked up the tech manual 3 weeksbefore the test.
go for it!!!!!
go for it!!!!!

Well guy's I guess it's better luck next time , I failed the test I studyed and passed all the practice test, but got there late and everyone was getting ready to leave and they decided to let me test anyways so I rushed through it and it got the best of me , I guess , I know they said I missed it by 1 question , I'm so disapointed in my self I told my wife to just turn back around cause I was late getting there and she made me go take it and then I rush through it and don't take the time to look over my answers I think if I had looked over it I might of found the one I skipped and left blank but I guess this is the results you get when in a hurry

You'll pass it the next time, that was my downfall too, I rushed through it the first time and failed (by just one question) and the next time, I took my time, thought about the question and I passed. Good luck on the next one tho, did they tell you when the next test was?

Please try to get there on time. It's an extra burden on the VEs to stay later. I'm sure they were disappointed as well. Please note on the above entry that there are no walk-ins. That means you must make a reservation with the listed contact.
