Works great, but...			Time owned: 0 to 3 months
I just passed Technician and General on Tuesday 11/23/09 after using Hamtestonline for about 3 weeks. Prior to that I had been through two ARRL books for tech, and two years ago was signed up for the expensive ($74) arrl course for technician, but I got mobilized with the Army and never finished. The point I am making is for a rather small investment in time, money and effort, compared to my previous efforts, Hamtestonline got me through very quickly. Now for the but... I do recommend getting the ARRL books and reading them along with using Hamtestonline. Basically what Hamtestonline does is grill you on the question pool over and over until you literally memorize the answers. With the difficult math ones I did not have to learn all the formulas and I was the only one at the testing site without a calculator because I "just knew" the answers from answering the questions so many times prior. Yes, that got me to pass easily but it also in my opinion dumbs down the experience of learning the material which is why I recommend reading the books along using the program. I guess that is what is referred to as "adaptive learning" but to me it is just "Rote memorization" without learning the theory behind it. The program gives you a little didactic content to learn and read through, but not much.
Product is in production.
