The ARRL develops and publishes the question pool that are used for the exams. If you are doing well on these particular questions, you will breeze through the exam.

I used this site to study for the Amateur Extra exam. Made it easy to pass. It's free.

My wife memorize the questions and answers to pass. The on line test in the same as the fcc test.

I should have mentioned that the HamStudy.org site also has study guides for FCC Commercial and Canadian Amateur licenses.

Removal of the coding element perhaps took much of the exclusivity out of the Tech license.

The ARRL Ham Radio License Manuals are excellent resources for Technician, General and Extra class licenses. I also recommend the videos by Dave Casler KE0OG on YouTube.

I read the new Extra ARRL License Manual and Extra Q&A book.
Then used hamstudy.org until I reached 100%/100%.

I got 100% on the Tech and the General using hamstudy.org only.

Is anyone here a VE? My packet has been approved and I am now an ARRL VE.
My first session will be in November.

 

[KE4EST]

I am a VE with WCARS.

 

[Titanium]

I am a VE with ARRL and W5YI. Participating in 2 or 3 online W5YI sessions each week with 3 or 4 applicants in each session. Very rewarding.

You don't give examinations online though. Do you?

 

[Titanium]

Yes, we administer online examinations. There are usually at least a dozen or more public sessions offered each week and many more group exams. Last week over 100 elements were administered during a single GLARG session!

I am scheduled for 3 W5YI sessions this week with the AA7HW group. Applicants only need a government issued photo ID, a private area where there will be no interruptions or others present (we often have applicants in their bathroom), one webcam to 360 pan and keep on applicant during the exam and share the complete desktop (only one screen allowed if multiple screen hardware config.).

Very secure and most exams are being completed in 10 - 15 minutes. The exams are issued at random and graded by the testing software (exam.tools). The VEs digitally sign and callsigns are typically issued on W5YI exams within two working days!
