Publisher's summary

Memorizing answers is hard - and boring. Learning is easy!

If you've made the decision to open up your ham radio world by going for the General Class license, great! General is certainly more challenging than Technician, but The Fast Track to Your General Class Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and technology behind each correct answer on the General Class exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter.

Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam.

To get your General Class license, you must pass a multiple-choice test. The General license test consists of 35 questions drawn from a pool of 462. Memorizing the answers to 462 disconnected questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your upgrade easier by explaining the logic behind each correct answer. It's simple: When you understand the material, and you have a context for the material, you remember the answers and pass the test.

Best of all, once you've passed your exam you'll have a solid grounding in ham radio basics.

  • Includes every possible question and every answer
  • Correct answers clearly marked in bold
  • Precise instructions for how to locate a testing session, how to prepare, and even what to bring - and what not to bring - to the test
  • All technical topics explained in clear, plain language
  • Step-by-step instructions to solve all the math problems
  • Test taking strategies
  • Hints to easily solve many questions and avoid the traps in the test
  • Written in "learning order", not just the order of the official question bank
  • Covers questions that will be used until June 30, 2019

Excellent

This recording should be mandatory studying for the general exam. Well presented, concise and redundant to enhance memory retention. I can't endorse this enough!! I will be taking my general in 7 days and I know I'll pass when this help. I'm anxiously waiting for the amateur extra audiobook !!

Passed!

I used this audiobook as my primary source of study. I did do practice exams online and look up some of the formulas but this audiobook helped me achieve 100% on my exam after studying for one week

Fantastic!

What a great resource. I drive over an hour and a half every day and have been listening to this. Michael is amazing at helping you know why answers are right or wrong. Some answers have to be memorized, but most are either understanding the logic or just plain common sense! I haven't taken the official test yet, because I've decided to take both the General and Extra at the same session, but I've taken the online test about 20 times and passed with flying colors every time.
I HIGHLY recommend this if you want to pass your tests and really understand the material.

Very informative.

Be prepared for a lot of information. I passed both elements two and three. I couldn't have done it without these audio books. Thank you Mr. Burnette.
