Morse Code Exams
All Morse code exams are created by the Exam Team. Each exam begins with a one minute
"warmup". Then the actual exam begins. The test is in the form of an actual contact
between two amateur operators. The exam is approximately 5 minutes. You can pass the exam
by correctly copying 1 minute of the code or by correctly answering at least 7 out of 10
"fill in the blank" questions based on the text that was sent.
To obtain one minute of copy, letters (A-Z) count a one character. Numerals, punctuation
and prosigns count as two characters each. Five words per minute require 25 characters,
13 WPM requires 65 characters and 20 WPM requires 100 characters.
