I finished the book in a week during my commutes and passed the test with no problem! Never even opened the official textbook." "Only ten days after I bought this book, I took the Technician Exam and passed!. I had no experience in Ham or radio at all. The explanations were very helpful, and the personal stories and humor were priceless." "The book was a great balance between getting at the material on the test but still providing a some great education on concepts and context. It really was a way to get ready for the test quickly by learning the material as opposed to just memorizing Q&A's. Yet it moved fast enough so as to not get discouraged." "1st off, I have now purchased approx 8 books on this specific subject. Not to include wasted many months of 'trying to understand'. Yet, this being a topic in which I am passionate about, I can't seem to ever actually quit trying. I have spent years dabbling in the content trying to make good sense of it. Even had some formal training over the years. After all of that *** This ended up being the only book I really needed for Technician!!!! The sad part, it was the last unique book in a stack I have purchased. Really wished I had tried this one 1st, maybe my review is useful to save you from a similar mistake like that. Start here, with Michael Burnette." "Michael Burnette's ham radio exam prep book is the most useful and comprehensive book that I have found on this subject and makes getting ready for this exam not only easy, but fun."
