For the extra class exam, do they allow scientific calculators?
If not is the a tan/arctan chart allowed for the rlc phase angle questions?

I took and got the general last year but as I remember it I thought they
limited
the test taker to basic function calculators....


Why would you need a Calculator, none of the Questions are that tough

Obviously from an Extra that memorized his way to the top, with
absolutely no understanding of the material.

They're only tough if you try to understand the material, but if
you're just going to memorize the questions and answers, then you're
right.

You would only need a calculator if you were going to work through a
problem, but if you're just going to memorize the questions and
answers, then you're right.

No there not, there very Basic.

but if
you're just going to memorize the questions and answers, then you're
right.

I wouldnt know anything about that, I still have not even seen a question pool.

You dont need a Calculator, if you know the material. I took the Dumb test
without a calculator and scored 100%. I actually thought the Novice Test I took
years ago was hardier than the EXTRA.

but if you're just going to memorize the questions and
answers, then you're right.


Well thats what most of your Buddies say they do.

You must have misread what was said. If you understand what is going on, it
is a no brainer and you don't have to memorize the question/answer books.
I'm not sure what the question is exactly, but roughly one question states:
if you have a 100 ohm pure resistance in series with a 50 ohm capacitive
reactance, how do you express the impedance?

1) 50 + j100
2) 50 - j100
3) 100 + j50
4) 100 - j50

Come on, put any numbers in there. You don't have to figure anything.
