VE Test Info For JULY 17th Picnic

We look forward to seeing you at the VE session for the Talk-Net Annual Picnic.  Below I’ve listed information about our upcoming test session and what to bring.

VE test session at Talk-Net Annual Picnic
Date:  Saturday, July 17

Location:  Elks Club (inside), 15650 Market Hill, San Antonio, TX 78256

Study help: I highly recommend this web site’s flash cards over any site’s practice tests http://www.kb0mga.net/exams/

Choose the Flash Cards and you will go through all the possible questions for the exam, not just 35 (or 50 for Extra) on a practice test. It will remember your progress when you come back another day to study more. Many of our test candidates have found that the flash cards help them to review/study more thoroughly than practice tests.

What to Bring: All necessary forms will be furnished to you. Please bring
        – Social security number (or FRN if already obtained from FCC)
        – Photo ID (preferably drivers license)
        – Original and photocopy of your current license (if you are a Ham)
        – A simple calculator may be helpful. It should have nothing more
          sophisticated than trig functions — no PDAs, no phones.
        – $15 test fee — exact change preferred

Youth without a photo ID need two documents for identification. Suitable documents include a school report card, birth certificate, and a Social Security card.

Good luck July 17!
