Confidence to pass the exam

I used Ham Radio Prep to pass my Technician and General exams on the same day in one try. Now two years later, I passed the Extra exam on the first try. This is a great program to prepare you for the exams. Whether you learn by reading, watching a video or taking practice quizzes and exams, they've got you covered.

I was able to study at my own pace…

I was able to study at my own pace while I was busy with my affairs of every day life with work and keeping updated with my Electrical License.
Professor Jim does a great job with presenting the text knowledge in video form, so you can hear the text being read before going on to read it. It is much like the old "Learn by Phonics" that was used to teach students and help them retain the knowledge in their long term memory.
I purchased access to all three elements for 79 dollars in November of 2024 and studied when I had spare time. I purchased the Technician course in February 2022, and then had the opportunity to buy access to the Technician, General and Amateur Extra in November 2024.
I like the way it is designed, that allows you to review the lessons and practice tests as many times as you need to become familiar with the knowledge!
I'm glad I found this study course back in 2022. I got distracted by work and keeping up my electrical license and advancing my knowledge in the electrical field, but I finally got back to at the end of 2024 when I was offered access to all three elements of HAM Radio.
It's now been eight days since I passed my Technician and General class exam and was issued my call sign for General Class license KJ5OHJ
Just two months before I went on the FCC data base when the government shutdown ended and got my GMRS license WSKN535; I think getting my GMRS helped cement my motion to get my HAM radio license.
I'm continuing to studying for my Amateur Extra Class HAM License. Maybe I will finish that this summer of 2026.
HamRadioPrep.com is a great course, no matter which level you are at. It will spur you on to get better at your math skills as well, but don't be intimidated by the math portion! Everyone can learn math; if you just stick with it, it will click with you one day.

What an incredible journey—thank you for sharing it! 🙌📡

Huge congratulations on earning your General Class license and receiving your call sign KJ5OHJ! 🎉 That’s a major accomplishment, especially balancing work, maintaining your Electrical License, and continuing your professional growth. Your dedication really shows. 💪

We’re so glad the flexible, self-paced format worked with your busy schedule and that Professor Jim’s teaching style helped reinforce the material in a way that sticks. That “learn by hearing, then reading” approach truly does make a difference for long-term retention. 📚🎥

It’s also awesome that your GMRS license helped spark the momentum toward your HAM license—once you get started in radio, it’s hard to stop! 🚀

We’re excited that you’re now working toward Amateur Extra. Keep that same steady pace and determination—you’ve already proven you can do this. And thank you for encouraging others not to fear the math… you’re absolutely right, it does click if you stick with it.

73, and we’ll be cheering you on toward Extra in 2026! 🎉

I bought the double class (Tech & General) before taking the Tech course, my online practice test were in the 40 & 50ies, after taking the course, my last practice test was a 91. The lessons are organized well, short video, and then the same thing in a reading lesson with the actual test answers highlighted. I take my Tech test on Mar 10th now.

I just recently purchased Ham Radio Prep. So far I think the course material setup is very good. A short video, then the text, and then a quiz. It is clear and organized very well. I have much more to go through, so that is all for now. Thank you

As a High School teacher I understand the importance of a good lesson plan. These guys have developed and implement an excellent plan of attack for our success. I mentioned the word "our" because I believe Ham Radio Prep is actively involved in my success.
Any question or uncertainty from the student, will be addressed promptly and efficiently. I'm impressed!
