HAM Test Prep: Technician

This app is very well designed. It is worth every penny! The structure is well thought out. The % proficiency that shows in each section after you take practice exams is amazing and an incredible feature! I will use this for my future license upgrades for sure. . . Though I’d like to see a discount on the upgrades after purchasing previous elements. Other than that I think it’s an amazing app. The last 16 practice tests are over 90% and I feel confident I’ll pass the test when I take it in a few days! A word of advice: start by going through ALL of the question pool questions. Then move onto practicing ALL of the question pool questions, THEN take the practice tests. Don’t jump ahead to practice tests after reading a book through section 4 and going through a few question pool practices. Take the time to see every question in the pool, then run through practicing every question in the pool and THEN take the practice test. The app is ordered that way for a reason. Use it that way and you’ll get better results quicker than if you try to jump ahead. I was able to slightly jump ahead due to electronics knowledge from making my own circuit boards, but after that, I really had to make sure to see every question. This app is amazing for that. . . Use it that way and you’ll have great success!

I was easily able to prepare for taking my Technician Class License exam. I like the pass/fail tracking it does so you can easily see areas you are weak on. I read the Gordon West book first. After that I did multiple tests in the app. I went the entire bank of questions twice in practice mode to see how well I knew each area. I took tests until I was passing with above 90% in 10 minutes or less for 35 questions. I successfully passed my license exam so I highly recommend this app. I just paid for general prep app and know that similar test prep will work for general exam too.

Read an e-book first then used this app. I would go over 1 subelement in the morning and then a new one at lunch. In the evening I’d go over those two elements again (I would only do a new one if I felt confident of learning the previous areas). I would also review the previous areas also. In other words I’ve learned to use this app as an e-flash cards to go from short term memory to long term now. During testing day, few guys had questions on certain things. I was quick to explain the answer in simple terms to them. In the app, I only used the review question pool and the practice question pool. In the review it shows the question with the answer highlighted. In the practice its the question and you have to choose the answer. I tried the “New Test” but after the first question, the questions were of areas that I haven’t studied yet. So, after this. I never used it. But, now I can so I can keep my memory fresh because I’m starting to study for my General. Good luck!!!
