I might be able to pass that one.

I wonder how many current Extras could sit down cold and pass the test again.  I'm pretty sure that I couldn't.

Any guesses when ARRL or W5YI will have study materials out with the new pool?  

And - is this pool harder, easier or just different than the current pool?

Extra is on my to do list, but at this point I'm thinking of waiting until after July so that I don't have the time pressure.

I took the opposite approach and used the time pressure to motivate myself to get it done by June.  Otherwise, I may keep finding reasons why I'm too busy.

I'm going to have mine done by June for sure.  The next test here is Feb 20th and I should have it done then. I'm passing all the practice tests now but not by the margin I need.

I hate to admit it, but I resemble that remark.

I'm trying to get motivated to start my Extra studying...

My son is taking his tech in Feb and I told him I'd test for extra at the same time.  I'm studying but I hate math.

I'd for sure go for the General while taking the Tech and get both at the same time. It's just not that much extra studying over the Tech and gets you a tremendously lot extra.The Extra test is a whole different animal.
