I purchased these tapes in order to pass my 5wpm tech plus exam. The tapes are well done, and you WILL learn your letters, numbers, etc. However, the sample exam included is sent a character rate slower than the ARRL test. A significant difference! I did pass the test, however, the CD's published by the ARRL which include sample tests are ACCURATE regarding what you will hear in the headphones. I found GW system better for learning the letters/numbers/ etc than the ARRL CD... But if you want a foretaste of the exam pick up the current ARRL CD's.
