Features & Capabilities

HAM Test Prep: General helps you study for the Amateur Radio General license using the General Question Pool (valid through June 30, 2027). It offers practice exams, immediate feedback, and a proficiency view by question group after each test. The app includes reviewable FCC rule text and zoomable figures, and notes that the Morse-code requirement has been removed, making the General upgrade more appealing. A Lite version is available, and there are also apps for Technician and Extra license classes.

Key features include accessibility options to exclude figures, dark mode, and iPad portrait/landscape support. It supports swipe navigation between questions, tap-to-answer, pinch-to-zoom on Figures, ARRL question numbers on practice tests, and configurable test settings with optional randomization and auto-advance. You can resume in-progress tests, and questions won’t repeat until all have been used. The current General pool is valid through 2027 and rule text can be viewed on the question screen or main screen.

I purchased the app on the recommendation of a good friend who used it for exam preparation and it was worth the money! I studied for a couple of weeks before the exam and I received an excellent score! I used both the Technician and General exam prep apps and I took both exams today, back to back and passed both with great results. I just purchased the Amateur Extra app for the exam next month. I highly recommend this app!

I’m using this to study for my general license. I like that it is off-line and not connected to some account somewhere. I have found it very handy for practice exams and measuring my own progress. I don’t think I’m using all of its features, but it works perfectly for me so far.

I read the book first, then went back and highlighted the important info. I used this app as a flash card sort of technique. If I I got a question wrong, I would stay in that section till I got them all correct. Later on, at lunch and at night I would go back to the sections that gave me a hard time. In the morning I would review half of the app. The following day I would do the other half. So, the night before test day I reviewed the whole app, of all the questions that were in the app, I only missed 2. On test day, I reviewed only those two. So, taking the exam was very easy, I thought it would be harder, scored 35/35 and was the first one to finish. I wasn’t racing, I just knew the answers. Going to get the “Extra” app.
