1. Is it a requirement to have passed the tech test, before taking the general?
Or can you just take the general?

2. Can you take the morse after the written (weeks)?

There USED to be a requirement that the tests be taken in order. It's
my understanding that such a requirement no longer exists. HOWEVER,
in order for a General class license to be issued, all required
elements (1, 2, and 3) MUST be taken and passed. In other words, you
cannot skip the Technician Element 2 test just because you passed
Element 1 (5 WPM CW) and Element 3 (General).

You CAN take the Element 1 exam at any time within a year of taking
the Element 3 exam in order to qualify for the General class license.
If you pass Element 1 and Element 2 for the Technician with HF
privileges, the one year limit does not apply, as the CW endorsement
is valid for the valid period of your license.
