Examination Update:
Starting with the July 2026 exam session we will transition to electronic registration for all exams. You will need to register for your exam at https://exam.tools/. You must do this at least one day prior to the date of your exam to allow us time to get the required number of examiners needed to administer your test. ALL of our sessions are in person sessions and use paper tests and paper answer sheets. You will need a phone, tablet or laptop with internet access at the exam session. If you prefer to test remotely you may choose to do so at https://hamstudy.org/sessions/remote/.

The master question pool is available from the National Conference of Volunteer Exam Coordinators NCVEC.
You may also take practice exams at QRZ.COM, EHAM.NET, or other locations on the internet.
