Upgrade your HAM license from Technician to General! With the elimination of the Morse Code requirement, there is no reason not to upgrade your license to gain additional privileges!

Amateur Radio License exams are composed of questions from a pool. Use this application prior to taking your exam to review and practice all possible questions. Then, test your knowledge with practice exams!

After completing your first practice exam, the question pool screen will display your proficiency in each question group for all practice exams you have completed.

You may choose to receive immediate feedback on right and wrong answers when taking a practice test. On practice tests, questions in a group will not be repeated until all of them have been used.

Some questions require you to review associated Figures. These figures may be zoomed and panned on iPhone/iPod touch.

FCC rule text is viewable within the application. All sections can be browsed from the main screen. Additionally, for questions where rule sections have been identified, the rule text can be viewed on the question screen when studying the question pool or reviewing test results.

An in-progress practice test can be resumed if you exit the test or the application.

Current General question pool is valid through June 30, 2027. This "Lite" version only contains questions from subelements G1 and G7.

Versions of this application for both the Technician and Extra license classes are also available.

This app has these additional features: • Accessibility option for vision-impaired users to exclude questions with figures • Dark mode support • Portrait and Landscape support on iPad • Swipe gestures to navigate between questions • Tap on answer to select it • Double-tap or use pinch gesture to zoom Figures on iPhone and iPod touch • Buttons to skip to next/previous wrong answer in test results • ARRL question number displayed on practice tests • Configurable Test Settings • Optional randomizing of test answers • Optional auto-advance during test

User Reviews

Overall, users praise HAM Test Prep Lite for being easy to use, offering immediate feedback, and enabling convenient mobile study. It’s a helpful, confidence-building study aid that many feel covers the exam material well, especially as a free resource. However, recurring drawbacks include incomplete content in the free version (limited subelements and many missing questions), and occasional mismatch with actual exam questions. A few users also felt it wasn’t helpful for their needs. Despite these issues, many have used it successfully to study for Technician and General licenses.
Pros
  • Easy to use and easy to learn, even for non-native English speakers.
  • Immediate feedback: see the answer right away.
  • Mobile-friendly for on-the-go study and commuting.
  • A helpful study aid that builds confidence and supports progression to General.
  • Good coverage of the exam material and offers value as a free app.
Cons
  • Content coverage is incomplete: only the first two subelements or many questions are missing.
  • Free version is limited/crippled; you must buy the full version to access all questions.
  • Not all questions are included; occasional mismatch with actual exam questions.
  • Mixed usefulness: a few users feel it isn’t helpful for their needs.
  • Some users experience gaps between study material and the real test leading to disappointment.

I’m a technician class and this method is easy to learn because English isn’t my first language but I do it 😅
