Looks like we were typing at the same time. LOLI'm still studying and my goal is to to take two tests in the same sitting. Work is crazy still, but camera monkey set me up with a pretty good study guide from the kindle app. I can regurgitate info fed on a continual basis but to truly understand it is another level for me. The fear of failure has never left me. Thanks top.
You can pass both in one sitting. Protip: Memorize the General vacuum tube answers. I think there are only 8 of them. They make NO sense to even this computer network engineer that does household electrical work too.
When I sat for my General the first time I swear I got half the vac questions on each exam. I took 3 versions of the test and missed ALL the vac questions and just enough to fail by 1 or 2 points. Hamstudy flash cards for some reason didnt even present any tube questions so they came from left field.
After memorizing those questions I passed the General easily.
EDIT: And I'm waiting for him to release his new book on the Extra exam so I can start studying. FCC dropped a new question pool last month, and they will go into effect in July. I'm busy with work like you, and dont want the pressure of only having 6 months to pass the test. Both Tech and General qestions dont rotate for another year or two as I recall, so dont panic. LOL
