Online Amateur Radio Examination Session

Greetings and Thank You for choosing us to test with.

First time applicants need an FCC registration number (FRN) before you can take the Examination. Click HERE to get your Federal Registration Number (FRN). The FRN will be issued right away. Be sure to keep the number in a safe place for future reference. If you are upgrading your license, you already have your FRN, so you're all set.

Some REMINDERS prior to joining your Zoom Meeting:

These instructions greatly expedite your exam and provide an efficient and pleasant testing experience.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A GOOD WIFI/INTERNET CONNECTION FOR REMOTE TESTING.

Grab that Government Issued Photo ID, we will need it.

We have your 4-digit PIN, set that paperwork aside.

Please scan your room and remove extra paperwork, posters, files, etc.

Place your cellular phone on silent and out of reach.

Sorry, no physical calculators may be used. You may use an on-screen calculator though.

Please close all unnecessary programs. E-Mail, VNC, TeamViewer, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Steam etc.

Kindly disable any Virtual Backgrounds applied to your Zoom video.

Please power off & cover (bath towel/pillowcase) additional monitors/TVs within your field of view.

Testing is VERY efficient! Remember, your exam is never timed.

Grab a cold drink, get comfy, relax & breathe, preparing for a smooth experience. You got this!

Psst! It’s OK to be nervous! Try thinking of this as a ‘Practice Test’ that is simply observed!

We love seeing applicants like you succeed!

Joining the meeting, you will see “Host Will Be With You Soon”.

Hang tight, we know you’re there and testing soon.

This is a great time to test your Zoom audio and microphone.
