Default How about supporting an 85% passing score for written exams?

Why not?


Because all the knowledge in the world cannot hold
a candle to Morse code skill? :-)


HAW! That's a good one, Cecil!

Glad to see you've finally seen the light ;-)

Seriously, though - the Canadian solution might be the way to
consensus.

I suggested something similar many years ago - that the Morse
code exam be folded into the written exam and one score obtained.
I think I suggested that the Morse code exam be 20% of the score.
Others wanted the Morse code exam to be 80% of the score.

I made 100% on the First Phone when I was 21: 1971.
First pass.

Took the Advance ham test just for the hell of it; 100% again.

I propose 100% or death.

Better be really confident when you sign up.

The extra class license should definitely require a score of 100 % to pass .
As it is now all the exams are way to easy . It's a give away .
