Publisher's summary

Everything you need to prepare for your General Class Ham License. This audiobook covers every question on the General exam. Memorizing over 400 random answers is hard and boring. Learning is easy!

If you've made the decision to open up your ham radio world by going for the General Class License, great! General is certainly more challenging than technician, but The Fast Track to Your General Class Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and technology behind each correct answer on the General Class exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter.

Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam.

To get your General Class License, you must pass a multiple-choice test. The General License test consists of 35 questions drawn from a pool of about 400. Memorizing the answers to over 400 disconnected questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your upgrade easier by explaining the logic behind each correct answer. When you understand the material, and you have a context for the material, you remember the answers and pass the test.

Best of all, once you've passed your exam, you'll have a solid grounding in ham radio basics.

In this audiobook, you'll discover:

  • Every possible question and every answer.
  • Correct answers clearly indicated.
  • Precise instructions for how to locate a testing session, how to prepare, and even what to bring– and what not to bring–to the test.
  • Step-by-step instructions to solve all the math problems.
  • Test-taking strategies.
  • Hints to easily solve many questions and avoid the traps in the test.
  • Written in "learning order", not just the (confusing) order of the official question bank.
  • Covers questions that will be used through June 30, 2027.

Very helpful

This is a very detailed and comprehensive review and test prep tool. I’ve used both the tech and general books to pass the exams. Thanks!

I'm Ready For the Test!

I used the Arrl General Class Licence book first and still didn't understand the material. Then I switched to Michael and Kerry's Fast Track General class book with the Audio and text versions both. Things finally made sense. I will be 75 years old this year and this combination made all the difference. Thank you Fast Track.

Well done

Liked: humor, knowledge, review of correct response
Disliked: often missed the question (would have liked the bell at the beginning of correct answer for psychological conditioning)

I passed! Great Book

I used both the audio fast track technicians general books to listen on my commute to work. I used the practice quizzes on the fast track website. Took both tests at the same time. Only missed 2 on each! Got my tech and general.
