    Much better than the ARRL books Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
    I used the ARRL book for my technician license and passed. However, HamTestOnline made preparing for my General and Extra exams so much more pleasurable!

    The math for he Extra exam was difficult for me, and HTO customer service showed me how to use the software to drill the questions that required calculations. It made a huge difference, and I passed the Extra exam with flying colors!

    Easily Passed General Test! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    I highly recommend HamTestOnline for preparing for your exams. I studied about an average of an hour a night for about two months and only missed one question and that was because I circled the wrong answer - I knew the right one! I really like the way the algorithm repeats questions that you have trouble with until you finally know the material. I liked the course so much that I purchased the Extra course and should be taking the exam in May/June '21. You can't go wrong with this course and the price is easy on the wallet too!

    An Essential Study Tool for Earning My Extra Class License Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    I have no background in electrical engineering or electronics, but I have been a licensed Ham on and off for over 40 years. Held a General Class license for more than 15 years. But the Extra Class license was just too tough a nut for me to crack.

    With the World hunkered down for COVID, I finally decided to bite the bullet: I signed up for an on-line Extra Class "Zoom" course (using the ARRL study guide as the main text), and signed up for HamTestOnline.

    The two worked together perfectly. I was able to gain a solid understanding of the material, identify and hammer away on all my weak areas, and run through rapid-fire practice exams. I saw my scores climb from just "passing" to averaging well over 95%. There is nothing like having the confidence of knowing "I've got this" when you sit down to take an exam. That alone is worth the price of admission.

    After about four weeks of the on-line course and running through repeated practice exams (over 100), I took and passed the Extra exam. Well, not exactly. I smoked it. PERFECT 100% score.

    I know I couldn't have accomplished this feat without HamTestOnline.

    The practice tests provide immediate feedback, and the supplemental review material is superb (often clearer and better written than the ARRL guide). If you're at all interested in upgrading, HamTestOnline is an ESSENTIAL tool.

    This works! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I had put off pursuing the extra class for 15 plus years. My code was getting rusty and 13 wpm for the general was tough enough for me. Recently I discovered the code requirement disappeared so I decided to start studying. Bought a couple well known books and read them cover to cover and felt like I had picked up a few things but not good enough to build my confidence to take the exam. Being 68 years old, my memory is not what it used to be.

    I stumbled on hamtest online and read the study and exam prep suggestions. After that I saw I could try 50 questions as a trial. Gave it a go and decided to purchase the service.

    I got an exam date about 6 weeks out thinking that was about right. I was wrong - after 2 weeks of diligent use I was ready to go. Using their format of posing the questions and giving you some background information really sucks you in. Sometimes it was hard to not push the button for the next question - it was time to hit the sack,

    I could only move the exam date up a couple weeks and did so. I spent the couple weeks before the exam just reviewing. Test day came - I was the only one taking the Extra exam. Five other folks were taking the Technician. Despite having 15 more questions than the other folks, I finished first and had my exam graded before anyone else turned theirs in. (Obviously they didn't use hamtest online.) The coordinating VE told me I got a 100% score on the exam - frankly I was not surprised.

    If you want to walk in the exam room and breeze through the test - use this product. Yes - you have to put in the study time but it is likely less than you think.
    Obviously it worked for me.......73

    Zero to Extra in one sitting. Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    Under 6 weeks study time. The program's ability to ID weakness and focus you is impressive. My confidence level grew to where I drove 2 hours to take an earlier test and got written about in the local HAM newsletter. Great 73rd Birthday present.

    Passed General at age 80 Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    I was 75 when I secure my Technician license by going to a class but I found HamTestOnline to be a big help in reviewing various topics. I started studying with the program 6 weeks ago, about 30 minutes to an hour a day. Scored 97 on the test - Highly recommend this program. Will use it for my Extra

    Ham Test Online made getting "extra" easy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    They advertise 30 hours to be able to pass the extra test. I did it in 16hrs. I should add that I am 71 years old and I am not the smartest guy out there. Hamtestonline is great....highly recommend

    Passed my Extra - Could Not Have Done it Without HTO Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
    I'm 69 years old and 48 plus years out of school, 22 years since passing my General and the Extra Class test material is probably the most difficult subject matter that I have ever studied or been tested over. After I retired I decided to get back into amateur radio. Honestly I wanted to enjoy the prestige of being an Amateur Extra Class radio operator and I wanted to challenge myself. Ham Test Online was the only way that I was able to achieve my goal. Every thing that they advertise is beyond true. I wish that their study methods had been around when I was in school. This was simply the best investment that I have made in myself as a Ham radio operator.

    General Passed! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    After returning to Amateur Radio after a 16 year absence, I wanted to upgrade my ticket. Ham Test Online was my mentor. I put in the time and got the upgrade I was seeking for so long. The website is flawless in its execution. I especially found it helpful to be drilled by the questions I hard a difficult time to answer. Every time I returned to study, the system would open with the questions I failed to answer correctly the last time I logged in. The reminder of this helped me to learn. Just an overall great learning experience!
