    Focused, Succinct, Effective; 98% on Extra Exam Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
    Enrolled in this program figuring the plague was a good time to do the Extra – had already used it a few years ago getting the tech and general in one sitting. It gives you a brief (one page or so) overview of the material, then reviews the exam questions dealing with that subject. As you work through it, the questions you need help with are revisited as required. It works. I supplemented it with Gary Wise W4EEY’s you tubes and that was useful too as they complimented each other offering different approaches to the same topic. It took me longer than it should’ve due to life getting in the way, etc. John, the principal of the company took a personal interest in my progress and helped personally getting through it. Did ten practice exams with scores ranging 68 to 96% then got 98% on the real thing. To say the least, very pleased. m

    Technician and General at the Same Time on 1st Attempt Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I spent about an hour a day for 12 days, took the exams, and passed them both. The adaptive learning process was key to my success. Thank you Hamtestonline!

    very time efficient Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I used HamTestOnline to ace my extra exam. The ARRL manual for the license class provides useful background material to understand the material behind the questions in the pool. It'd be a shame to not have that info should you need to refresh it as you grow in radio. HamTestOnline provides focused background info supporting the questions, but the ARRL manual goes into it in more depth.

    Where HamTestOnline really shines is making your study time very efficient. It adaptively gives you questions according to how well you've mastered the material. Less mastery, more frequency. If you know certain questions down cold, you'll rarely or never see those questions again during reviews. There are easy ways to generate representative practice exams too when you think you are ready to try that. It also gives you feedback as to your progress and your history is all there for you to review.

    Does it enable cram it and slam it? Sure, but I think you won't be getting the most long-term value out of it by using it that way.

    I didn't use it for Technician and General, but I wished I had added it to my self-guided study.

    Passed Extra in Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I've been a ham since 1955. I have had every class license available during that time except one: Extra. On my 79th birthday I decided it was time. After struggling with various study materials, I finally found Ham Test Online. Within 1 month I felt ready to take the exam. I passed with a perfect score: 50 out of 50. I recommend this service to all hams.

    Best program out there! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    I cannot say enough about Hamtestonline. I used their program for all my studies, along with the ARRL manual. The interpretive drilling in the program was extremely helpful. I passed my amateur extra 2 weeks ago.

    Do yourself a favor----GET THIS PROGRAM!

    Passed my General exam Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I also used HTO for my General class license and will be using them for Extra very soon. I did very well (97%) with their program and hope to do the same with the Extra class exam.

    Passed General and Extra using their site Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    This for me made studying for the exams easy. I tried other sites and this by far was the best study method.

    Passed my Extra exam yesterday Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    It's been 3 months since passing the Technician exam and I continued studying and passed my General exam last month and passed the Extra exam yesterday. HamTestOnline made it easy to prepare for the exam
    I highly recommend it. It is simple and easy to use.

    Easiest, Quickest Way to Extra Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    I'd started many times to half-heartedly study for Extra. I bought all the study books, then did it again when the question pool changed. Like some others, I determined in January to pass the Extra exam. I scheduled a virtual exam session for the end of February.

    After quickly tiring of the books and tapes, I switched exclusively to HamTestOnline. I followed the instruction to the letter and used study mode exclusively. I did start to worry and increase my study time during the last week, but I never studied for more than 1 hour at a time.

    As with most tests, you'll see some patterns through repetition that will help you answer some questions by process of elimination.

    I had reached 80% "learned" per the HSO charts the day before the exam, and that was sufficient to pass comfortably.

    It's the only tool you needs, although I do like to have the books on the shelf for reference.
