I take it you're suggesting that I take all of the ARRL advanced classes
as a substitute for a single class that is focused on the body of
knowledge that the exam tests for. *At the urging of the VEs that ran my
general exam I took the extra the same day. *I didn't pass but I did get
a sense of what the exam is testing for. *I only recall two questions on
digital circuits or logic. *Should I really take an entire course for

Tom,

Congrats on your new General!

A suggestion on the Extra written:

The entire question pool is available free-for-the-download at various
sites.

Also, there are online *practice* exams at a number of sites, too.
They use the actual test Q&A, and will tell you which you get wrong
and which you get right, so you know your strong points and where you
need a bit more study.

If you (or anyone else here) are stumped by any of the questions or
explanations, just ask me and I'll help out. Email or newsgroup, here
or rec.radio.amateur.moderated.
