We encourage you to visit hamstudy.org to aid in your studies and to take practice exams before taking your license exam. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions or to schedule an exam.

License Exam Session Guidelines
PCARC has an ARRL VEC affiliated Volunteer
Exam Team. On Exam Day, please bring the following with you:
1) $15.00 cash.
Exact change is greatly appreciated.
We will also accept a check made out to 'ARRL VEC'.
We will supply scratch paper if you need it.
No books, notes, papers or food are allowed in the room
during the exam except those materials we will distribute
for the test.
All exam materials will be collected at the end of the exam.
If there is anything unusual about your examination
request, please bring this to our attention when you contact
us to register for the exam.
This would include access issues or accommodations, examination
credit for any circumstance or document other than a valid CSCE,
or if you have ever had FCC action taken against your Amateur License.
If you wait until exam day and only then make a request that
is out of the ordinary, we may have difficulty serving you.
We all want you to p
ass, so please work with us.
As referenced in the 'Technician Class Notes' (below),
we recommend the Gordon West series
of study manuals in our classes. Gordo has
organized the Question Pool into a more logical
order, making it easier to study. At about $20, the
study guide is a reasonable investment. Although
the study guides are intended to support an organized
class, they make it easy to study on
your own, too.
There is no longer a Morse
Code test for any class of license.
The only exams are the Technician (Element 2), General
(Element 3), and
Extra Class (Element 4) written (multiple choice)
tests. Click
