You can pass with the right approach.xa0 First, don't be confused and frustrated studying wrong answers.xa0 What is the point of that?xa0 I found study very difficult with wrong answers outnumbering correct answers 3 to1.xa0 Second, focus on what you need to know.xa0 Ham radio is a journey of discovery and you have the rest of your life to explore.xa0 Third, many of the questions call for a memorized answer.xa0 The Easy Way gives hints and tricks to help recall the correct response.xa0xa0You can do this!xa0 Jump in and learn.xa0 I hope to hear you on the air soon.xa0 73/DXxa0 Buck, K4IA The Christmas gift of a short-wave radio kit introduced Buck to the magic of hearing signals from around the world.xa0 He earned his first Ham license in the mid-sixties as a teenager, but then school, family,xa0and a legal career eclipsed Ham Radio.xa0 After a thirty-year absence, he became active again to prepare for Y2K.xa0 The dreaded apocalypse didn't happen but the magic of radio was still there.xa0 Today, Buck holds an Amateur Extra Class License and is an active instructor and Volunteer Examiner.xa0 The Rappahannock Valley Amateur Radio Club named him Elmer (trainer) of the Year three times.xa0 He enjoys chasing DX and is on the DXCC Honor Roll for contacting most of the world's countries.xa0 His favorite operating mode is Morse Code.

This book focuses on the correct answers, rather than all POSSIBLE answers.

This book gives you all the right answers, unlike most books that give you all the possible answers. My 16 year old passed his Technician test on the first try after about a week and a half with this book. I wish this book was around when I first got my ham license!

Give this a try! It worked for me.

This worked for me ! All in one week. I read the Technician Class book and took the test the Saturday after I finished reading it. And PASSED I might add. This was so great that I bought the next one which is for the general. Give it a try. Don't procrastinate

Sucks

I read this book twice and failed the exam. I read the book again cover to cover and failed the same exact test again even worse! In my opinion there’s only about 5% in the book that actually helped me on the test. The book is easy to understand, but not very helpful. You’d probably be better off just guessing

Good idea. Not so good execution.

Seeing only the correct answer to the exam questions sounded like a good idea to me, consequently I purchased both the Technician and General Class book. I read the Technician Class study book and felt less prepared afterward because there was no continuity, no mesh holding the material together. This book forces a student to rely on rote memory which I think is the wrong approach. Simply stated, this book did not work for me.

This Series of Books helps, but...

This series of books helps, but the author dies ramble on a bit too much in every one of the three Amateur License books. The presented information, in concise form, does make it easier to assimilate the needed answers, but all three books could have been written as one without the extra storytelling. The compilation would have been of less volume and money.
I recommend these books, but know that you’ll find yourself skipping information to get to the sections necessary to pass the tests. In short, don’t read the entire book(s). Just jump to the meat of the work!

Great book for the Tech test!!!!!!!!!!1

This is a great book for the Tech test, the book not only covers correct answers only but also gives you simple explanations and hints with the correct answers. Passed my Tech test first try today on 9-11-19 after studying this book for only two months cover to cover I felt this book gave me the correct skills to pass. Now I'm ordering Buck's general exam book soon, 73s and good luck.

Here's how to pass the test...

Buy this book and read it. Get online and start taking practice exams. (Here's the secret), go out and buy 3x5" cards. What you get wrong on the exam (...and you will get things wrong on the exam trust me), take that question, find the answer in your book, WRITE IT OUT ON THE 3x5 CARD AND PUT THE CORRECT ANSWER ON THE BACK. Those 3x5 cards are now your best friends. Carry them and several times a day review them. If you're consistent the answers WILL start to sink in. Keep taking practice exams...you will find your results getting better and better. You'll know when you're ready to take the exam. Chances are you will CRUSH it. Best of luck!

This book worked hands down.

I'm a busy person. Limited time to study but I wanted to start working on getting my Technicians license. I read the front half of this book once. Then I focused on the second half which only contains the questions and the ONE CORRECT answer for each. I did not put in the time I thought would be needed because frankly, life gets in the way of many things. I did spend a few hours on the back half with the answers over a couple weeks and then crammed that area for 3 hours before the test. I was still worried I would fail. But just like the author said, the answers were right there and the wrong answers were foreign to me when I tested. By question #28 of the test I knew I had passed. I got 34 out of 35 answers correct on the exam. I highly recommend this book. Highly recommended.

If you can memorize right answers its okay

Knowing just the right answers does not enable understanding or long term retention.
