If you're feeling particularly ambitious you can write all three exams (Technician, General, Extra) in one sitting, an additional benefit being that you only have to pay one application/exam fee. It's not a particularly arduous undertaking, especially if you've taken some previous courses in electronics.
- giraffe_lady 2y agoGeneral is only a little additional material on top of technician so getting both is an easy newcomer goal. Extra is quite a lot more though, at least if you're truly new to it. Yeah if you have an electronics background it's probably fine but even on HN most people don't.
