Dec 9, 2007 Study Hall/Exam Session
Read through the Questions
& Just Right Answers a few times and then take practice exams on-line.
Most people can pass the exam, getting at least 26/35 (you can miss 9 and still
pass). These are the actual questions and answers, published by the FCC. We’re
taking advantage of short-term memory by giving the exam immediately after
you’ve studied.

This is a 'cram' approach,
with more classes planned for new licensees to teach the basics and help them
get on the air. There are also books available, so you can want to learn the
“whys” and “wherefores.” Visit http://www.arrl.org/catalog/lm/ to get more info. But you will be able to
pass this exam by just reading the Questions & Just Right Answers.
We just want to make sure
that you get your license and get on the air – most of what you need to know
you’ll learn by doing.
We'll start at 10am at the
Lost Hills Sheriff's Station in Agoura and have a 15 minute
lecture/demonstration and 45 minutes of reading on your own every hour, with
the exam at 2pm. Most people will complete the exam in
15 – 20 minutes, but the paperwork may take us a while since we need to do
meticulous accounting to avoid delays in processing. Pass rates have been in
the high 90s - the last one was 100%. The exam fee is $4, and you can take the
exam a second time for another $4.
Bring your drivers license
and/or passport for ID. Youngsters will need a school ID card plus a parent to
vouch for them.
Assemble in the lobby at the
Lost Hills Sheriff’s Station,
