Rob, RS>No, the General Class test has more difficult questions when compared with t RS>Technician's test. Here's a comparison: RS>https://www.hamradiolicenseexam.com/which-exam.htm Two comments on that. First, when I took the General Class written exam, 5 months after the FCC dropped the Morse Code requirement, I thought it was a piece of cake...but I had been studying 2 hours a day for 2 weeks...and with HamTestOnline (the URL you noted). Second, after going from Technician to General in 14 days, it only took 13 days (studying 2 hours a day) to go from General to Amateur Extra. I barely passed the Extra at the license exam session...but "a win by 1 is as good as a win by 10". Doing both courses with HamTestOnline was the best money I ever spent in amateur radio. Both John Cunningham, W1AI...and his wife, Christina, KT1NA (who went from zero to Extra in one sitting), "know me" -- I guess I have a reputation. Plus, they offer the Amateur Extra course, a $35 value, FREE...if you're a currently accredited Volunteer Examiner (with ARRL/VEC, W5YI VEC, Laurel VEC, etc.), and have served at least 3 times in the last 12 months. Had it not been for deciding to becomine a Volunteer Examiner in central Arkansas (several years ago, they were literally begging and pleading for VE's at a local hamfest), I likely would've still been a Technician Class licensee. In short, I upgraded not so much to operate on HF...but to be a VE to help people get licensed, and upgraded. In nearly 11 years of being a VE, I've done nearly 200 license exam sessions.
