I studied all the legal questions for all three license levels through brute force using that site. Went through the questions so many times that I could tell you the answer within the first few words.
Now is that a good thing? Meh, i think most of the learning occurs once you're on the air. Then again, i do have a EE degree so the radio science part i already knew.
I agree. The FCC exam is a framework for learning. All my follow-on learning, including antenna building and using an NVNA have come from doing it.
That was the big thing I brought up when giving exams. You just need to pass and then you can start learning.
@jecxjo @667 Exactly the same thing here.
I must say however, that I NEVER EVER "learned" something and then was able to "just do it".
Even if learn everything by rote, you how have all the basic principals AND you can participate actively. THIS is when you start to learn! ๐
Everything else was just "on paper".
That said, I have my exam in about a month and I'm very excited. ๐
