I have a friend wanting to get their license. He is looking for a current Tech and General study guides. I know the General test changes this year so I am not looking to purchase a new one of those. If anybody has either one or both they would like to donate or sell at a discounted price that would be great.
And yes I know all that can be found online but he doesn't have access to computer or the internet on a regular basis. |

Free stuff Go to this site: http://www.w5ddl.org/ And on the left side you will see links to Classroom Presentations (in PowerPoint) for Tech and General, as well as links to practice exams for Tech, General, and Extra class. If you don't have PowerPoint, there is a link for a free PowerPoint Viewer. In each of those two links you will find both the separate chapters, as well as a zip file containing all of the chapters. Here is another site with classes: http://www.rarchams.org/class/technician/chartsppt09/index.htm There are also courses of study that may be subscribed to at: http://www.hamtestonline.com (NOTE- When you print out these guides, yes, print them... use a Magic Marker to black out all the wrong answers. This way you study only the correct answers and everything else looks unfamiliar. Seriously, print, black out, study. Just take my word for it and do it.) Study Guides - You need the question pool AND the graphics on each of these pages. Some questions in the pool will refer to the diagrams or schematics on the graphics page.

Then begin doing the W5DDL classroom presentations. You can do one or two a night. Also begin taking the practice tests. With all of those sites, each time you take the test it will have a different random draw of questions from the question pool... just like the real test you will take. I would also suggest you take the practice test on a different site each time. This will help you get used to the appearance of the test being different, just as it will be when you take the actual test. Take two or three (or more if you have time) of the practice tests each night after going through a chapter from W5DDL. By the time you are finished with the W5DDL classes you will be ready for the Tech test, and you will pass. BUT WAIT!!! There's more!!! When you are confident that you will pass the Tech, and are passing by 90% or more, begin study for the General. If you are smart enough to pass the Tech, you are smart enough for the General, too. With the General comes greatly expanded band privileges. Keep up with studying the Tech guides and the practice tests, but add the General. |

Maybe I'm odd, but I found it easier to do the other way around. Study for the General till you routinely get 90% or better on the practice tests. Then take a practice test or 3 for Technician and see how you do, and start studying for Technician. |
