I passed written to general, but muffed the 13WPM, so I'm just a tech, but not quite the lowliest; I'm a grandfathered old tech. Yay me! I'd only studied the code for a month, though.
If you passed the General written test, you can get upgraded to a General license. Get a volunteer examiner to certify the form, and you'll get credit for the test you've already passed.
Worked for me. I had a Tech license, with the General test but 5wpm code. Grandfathered in to Tech Plus, then grandfathered again to General.
