I passed my Advanced class some 15 years ago, now motivated to get the

Extra
while the code is still 25wpm (no problem).

Will there be questions from the General and Advanced question pools in

the
Extra exam, or just from the Extra class pool of questions??? Just so I

know
what to review.

I strongly recommend getting the latest Extra class study guide. Each class
of license has its own pool of questions. The Extra class exam will only
have questions from the Extra class pool. However since the Advanced class
was closed, the Extra pool has been expanded to include that material. Not
only that there is additional, new material that was not on the Advanced or
Extra exams 15 years ago such as RF safety and the station RF survey, etc.

In your case, since you already hold an Advanced license and would have been
through much of the material, I would recommend the study guide from W5YI.
It gives each question, answer, and brief explanation. For those who go
from General to Extra, I normally recommend the ARRL publication since its
explanations are more in depth and I think that is important for someone who
hasn't previously addressed significant parts of the Extra class exam
material.
