Not difficult at all. Many people have taken and passed the test. I
can't think of any good arguments for reducing it.
Think of a very basic entry level that more than just extraordinary
bright kids can take and pass.
In one of my recent classes, I had an 8 year old boy of ordinary grades
and
ordinary intelligence take and pass the Technician. Sorry but the test
does
NOT need to be easier. He made it on the second try. This is no worse
than
many adults.
If it was that easy, why two tries before passing...and what
was his passing score when he did?
