      Rob,              RS>No, the General Class test has more difficult questions when compared with t       RS>Technician's test. Here's a comparison:       RS>https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/which-exam.htm               Two comments on that.               First, when I took the General Class written exam, 5 months after the       FCC dropped the Morse Code requirement, I thought it was a piece of       cake...but I had been studying 2 hours a day for 2 weeks...and with       HamTestOnline (the URL you noted).               Second, after going from Technician to General in 14 days, it only       took 13 days (studying 2 hours a day) to go from General to Amateur       Extra. I barely passed the Extra at the license exam session...but "a       win by 1 is as good as a win by 10".               Doing both courses with HamTestOnline was the best money I ever spent       in amateur radio. Both John Cunningham, W1AI...and his wife, Christina,       KT1NA (who went from zero to Extra in one sitting), "know me" -- I guess       I have a reputation. |
