    Just Passed zero-to-Extra Class HAM Tests in One-shot Session! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    Any HAM license was on my bucket list since I was too young to think about kicking a bucket (as a ten-year-old, I think.) It was that the course ratings of current and past subscribers at Ham Test Online were nearly unanimously five-stars that tipped my aspirations to begin to study for a license. I messed around for years renewing the subscriptions. But I happened to get yet another of their emails that led me to check it out--YES I was within three months of a new question pool to study and the one I had messed about with learning was set to EXPIRE! and I really didn't want that! So I took about a week to just stay online and study around the clock, even waking up and going at it again. Well that was very extreme for sure. I am not so good at rote memory either. But, the learning system shows you questions that you've been missing and needing the review so you get those many times. (Their system learns you and how to teach YOU. When you suspect that you know you better than their systems, you can even go into your own settings to diminish how often reviews come up... as well as what subjects you want to see or maybe even set up one subject or sets of them at a time to learn. The system even lets you force to present yourself with the correct answers. There are options to turn off entire classes OR maybe you would prefer to test for one class of license one at a time, then you can subscribe for just one at a time.) I always wanted to learn more than I needed and this program delivered. I tested with Laurel VECs who provided calculators, pencils, pens and allowed to use the backs of answer sheets for scrap notes. But, I had all those, including the $15 fee that I expected to need. The VEs with that VEC do not charge a fee. After I passed one exam after another, they asked if I was employed or worked with radio because I missed so few questions. It wasn't my employment, it was HamTestOnline and the sense for urgency to find a test that allowed me to make that high score. A few of the math questions are hard for me to remember the formulae and the best order to enter them into a calculator. I just so happened to memorize those exact answers with HamTestOnline. Just before I took the tests I happened upon a technician training on a YouTube channel - HRCC that was pretty good too. But, that would have taken quite a lot more time. Both of those are as available as the internet was for me. One thing I would have done better would have been to bookmark more of the cloud-based resources. I have another remark, they keep their web links up-to-date very well. In the whole of my (extended and) extended subscriptions, (remember I wasted years with bad study habits,) I saw two or maybe three broken links that I reported and never saw them unless they were repaired: they constantly revise the background references that teach concepts. And, learning the concepts seems to defeat revised question pools. The host VE club said that a few days before I made the trip to Raleigh, NC. It was a much smaller unit of time than I expected to need. When I finished their VE team invited me to their HAM Club. They were meeting that same night and had a transmitter. They offered to put it out to a member who wasn't there that I'd scored a trifecta that evening. That was the cap on an unforgettable evening. What I feared happened to become quite a lot of fun. I don't think I would have found a better product to study with. If you are on the same path as I was, you have my best wishes for YOUR success. (Remember, study as fast as you can because now, I would have studied faster too.)

    Great online training Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    I've used Ham Test Online for my Tech, General and most recently, Extra licenses. Passed each first try. Their program works really well. When I felt I was read I took several practice test every day - they were very realistic and seemed representative of what I saw when I took the actual test. I was passing a high majority of the practice tests and went in to take the actual with confidence. I highly recommend this site as a study medium

    An Excellent Resource Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    After being a Tech for 20 years, I figured it was about time to upgrade to General class. Retired now so I could devote the time to prep. Checked on eHam.net for recommendations, and HamTest Online was well received, so I figured I'd go with it. I had absolutely no experience or previous knowledge of much of the subject matter involved other than that I learned to get my Tech 20 years ago. Long story short, I got to studying the material on HamTest, and the way that the study is structured,I was able to learn the material and take numerous sample exams. Went for the General exam and passed with a 94% on my first try. Very happy with HamTest Online. And am now in the process of studying for my Extra. Extremely happy with HamTest Online and would highly recommend to anybody thinking about getting started in the hobby or upgrading your ticket. A great product.

    Crazy Easy to Learn Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
    I decided to get my Technician November 2022, and found HamTestOnline. I was a bit concerned about learning enough and remembering enough to pass the test...after about a week of staying in Study mode, I took a practice exam...and I passed it...so I studied another week and took more practice tests and was amazed how easily I recalled the answer! I took the REAL test and only missed one question...so I thought since I am on a roll might as well go for General...same thing, but with a lot more information....studied every day and then decided to take the REAL exam...only missed one...and the VE's all encouraged me to get my Extra...so I just kept studying and earlier this week...I only missed ONE!
    This product is AWESOME!

    The Best Way to Pass Your Exam Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    I just passed my Extra exam last week after using hamtestonline to study for the exam. I will tell you right up front that the program is the reason I passed and missed only 2 questions.

    I have been dreading this exam since I became a technician in 2019. I am not good at math, and I have very little understanding of electronics. Sometime after I got my General license, I talked with a ham who recommended hamtestonline to study for my Extra. He said it helped him a lot and he highly recommended it. I added a bookmark to the site, but I decided to learn Morse Code before getting my extra. I didn't want to do both at once.

    I did learn Morse Code and have been using CW exclusively for 2 years now and decided to get my Extra.

    I bought a subscription for HamTestOnline last March but didn't start studying until March 2023. I read over the study tips several times. One of the tips was to pick an exam date so you can study to that. Also, they recommended that you shouldn't spend too much time studying for the exam. I picked a date that was almost 3 weeks away, and I started studying. At first I thought, "this is not too bad". But then I got into the electronics and circuits and math and I started to get discouraged. Again, I read the study tips and stuck with your most important tip: stay in study mode.

    Slowly, I started making progress. I was tempted to take some practice exams, but I did not. About 4 days before my exam, I took a practice test and passed with 78%. I realized that was not enough margin so I started studying 3 hours a day.

    I also signed up for Ham Radio Prep. I thought it would at least be a good cross reference. But after using it only briefly, I switched back to Ham Test Online which is a far superior to Ham Radio Prep.

    The reason Ham Test Online is far superior is that is guides you through the information. And more importantly, it starts presenting you with review material and questions as it learns your weak areas. Ham Radio Prep doesn't do that.

    If you want to pass ANY of the Ham radio tests, I highly recommend Ham Test Online.

    Great study tool. Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
    After 36 years of procrastinating, I decided to upgrade to an Extra Class license. I had purchased study guides in the past but never found the time to finish them. Then I learned of HamTestOnline and decided to give it a try.

    The study mode walks you through the information that you need to know and identifies the areas that you are struggling with. The software will repeat those areas. The practice exams allow you to adjust the exam by choosing the type of questions to include, truly random or concentrate on your weak areas.

    It really works! I just passed my exam with a 98% score, 49 out of 50 question correct. If you dedicate the time to study, you will pass. Thank you HamTestOnline!

    The BEST way to get or upgrade your license! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I passed my EXTRA exam with a 94% after studying for just 17 days (averaging about 1.5 hours per day)! If I can do it, I promise you that YOU can do it!

    The study method builds on what you learn each session and identifies and works on your weaknesses. It's really cool to see the "weak" areas disappear and the "Learned" areas grow and grow each day.

    Great teaching tool Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I had put in about 20 hours toward my Extra class. I knew I wasn't quite ready, but with a Hamfest test date on hand I thought I'd try it anyway. I passed! I found it easy to put in 45-60 minutes per day. It is very engaging; Explanations are very helpful; Tips are given throughout. I felt like I was actually learning the material, and even on my weakest areas, the repetition still helped with my rote memory. You won't go wrong with this product/system.

    The exam prep software you need for success. Time Owned: more than 12 months.
    I have used HamTestOnline to help me prepare for my Technician, General and most recently Extra exam and believe it greatly helped me pass the exams. While I did use other resources HamTestOnline was my primary resource. HanTestOnline provides a great balance of supporting technical information to not only get the correct answer but to understand why it is the correct answer. The practice exams are also a great way to test your knowledge and to prepare mentally for the exam.
    Great product worth the few $ it cost!

    The Most Intelligent Ham Exam Preparation Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
    I believe their algorithmic method of preparing you to pass the exam is superb, and I suspect it may be applied generically to various other kinds of exam prep.

    I loved using HAM TEST ONLINE: so intelligent, fun. Once I was getting close to taking my TECH exam, I purchased a General course from another well known website. It just didn't work for me. I got my money back and purchased the General course from HAM TEST ONLINE.

    You WILL pass using their system, as it's simply the best.

    I scored 34/35 on my Technician's Exam.
