Memorizing answers is hard -- and boring. Learning is easy! If you've made the decision to open up your ham radio world by going for the Extra Class License, great! The latest edition of the Extra class exam is certainly challenging. The question bank includes over 600 questions, some 25% of which are new or revised since the last edition. The Fast Track to Your Extra Class Ham Radio License explains the reasoning and technology behind each correct answer on the exam so you'll understand and remember the subject matter. It's a complete learning system; books, audio, and the fasttrack.com web site with custom-made practice exams that integrate with the chapters in the book and audiobook. There are also teaching videos on the site. Created by an experienced ham and adult educator, it's like having your own, patient, experienced, good-humored mentor for the exam. (One reason Michael is a frequent presenter at major ham conventions.) To get your Extra Class license you must pass a multiple-choice test. The Extra license test consists of 50 questions drawn from a pool of 621. Memorizing the answers to 621 disconnected questions is difficult, but The Fast Track makes getting your upgrade easier by explaining the logic behind each correct answer. It's simple: When you understand the material, and you have a context for the material, you remember the answers and pass the test. We might even have a little fun along the way. (This may be the only amateur radio book to teach an astronomical concept with a nacho cheese analogy.) - Includes every possible question and every answer - Correct answers clearly marked in bold - Precise instructions for how to locate a testing session, how to prepare, and even what to bring -- and what not to bring -- to the test. - All technical topics explained in clear, plain language. The Kindle and print editions include over 200 illustrations to support your learning. - Step-by-step instructions to solve all the math problems - Test-taking strategies - Hints to easily solve many questions and avoid the traps in the test - Written in "learning order", not just the order of the official question bank, which is only a "warehouse" of questions and was never designed to teach anyone anything. - Chapter summaries drive home the exam-conquering points to remember from each chapter. - Complete subject and question index. - Incorporates the exclusive Fast Track study plan. We don't just present the material, we teach you the most effective way to learn it and we provide the tools to implement it.- Covers questions that will be used until July 1, 2024.

From the award-winning author of the Fast Track ham license series. Don't let a few math problems stop you from enjoying the great hobby of ham radio! The questions in the question pool for the FCC General Class Amateur Radio License include questions about conversions of electronic units in the metric system; Ohm's Law and Joule's Law problems; frequency to wavelength conversions; wavelength to frequency conversions; decibel/power calculations; series and parallel resistance, inductance and capacitance calculations; peak-to-leak and RMS voltage calculations; and impedance matching transformers. While the math is quite straightforward, if the language and concepts of electronics are new to you, it can all be a bit baffling. If that's you, this is the workbook for you. Each problem that can be on the exam is completely solved, with step-by-step instructions. We've color-coded every value to help you follow it through the solutions. We even tell you precisely which buttons to push on which calculator to make the answer appear. While all the math problems in the question pool are covered in the full license program, The Fast Track to Your General Class Ham Radio License, this workbook provides extra practice and explanation for those of us (like the author!) who needed a boost in our math skills to get our licenses. The program was co-designed by Michael Burnette, AF7KB, the author of the popular Fast Track ham radio license programs and his wife, Kerry, KC7YL. Kerry is a math and science teacher with a Masters degree in teaching and years of experience in making math come alive for students. Beyond learning how to "hammer the exam," you'll have a solid grounding in the fundamentals of math for electronics -- knowledge that will serve you well in the hobby and when you decide to take the step up to your Amateur Extra Class license. If you're a person who struggled with math in the past, if you suspect you "don't have the math gene," even if you don't remember a shred of your Technician level math, if you can push the buttons on a calculator, this course will have you confidently solving those equations like a pro in just a few hours. This course doesn't just teach you the math -- it teaches you how to learn the math. Note: This workbook is an adjunct to The Fast Track to Your General Class Ham Radio License book and audio; it provides additional training on the required math and does not cover the entire question bank of 400+ questions. While the exercises can be completed on any calculator, it provides specific key-by-key instructions for the affordable and widely available Texas Instruments TI-30XS calculator.
