Even if there is a question in the pool, it may not show up in an actual
test. Basically the pool needs to contain several questions of this type
to insure that one does show up on the actual test taken.
Remember that the exam is built by choosing a given number of questions
from each subelement. For example, there are four questions on the Tech
exam from subelement 1, which is FCC Rules and station license
responsibilities. When the pool was constructed one of the aspects was a
weighting of the various topics. There are, for example, only two
questions from subelement 7 (Operating in the field. Contests. Special
events. Satellite operation).
I don't envy the committee that formulated the pool. No matter what they
come up with, a lot of folks will criticize it. A fine example of a
thankless job.
