   DS> TW@> Actually the suggestion to use the Pay Internet site if posable is a   
   DS> TW@> better option. Yuo may have to buy the boks online as most Libraries   
   DS> TW@> may not have them.   
      
   DS>  Normally, once you buy a study guide, IT'S YOURS...no refunds. With   
   DS>Ham Test Online, if after adequate study time and practice tests (I   
   DS>recommend 2 hours a day for 2 weeks), one still fails the exam...they

   DS>Extra 13 days later, it was the BEST MONEY I ever spent in ham radio.   
   DS>I may have said it before, but even I was amazed at how it prepared me   
   DS>for the exams.   
      
   I used a similar computer program, Amateur Exam Study, for my Upgrade   
   from Technican to General. It is Free and I am sure not as inclusive   
   as the pay one It is stil pretty good. A couple yf years back i bought   
   the Gordon West Extra book and CD from Gordon Himself. But other   
   prorities conflicted so I never used it.   
   Now with diminished Brain Capacity and Hearing loss I am Inactive as far   
   as Ham activity goes
