    I don't really want to fast track to my Technician license, I want to UNDERSTAND it all. Thank you for this wonderful series and thank you to HamStudy for the awesome app!
    My Grandmother (K9IVG), turned me on to amateur radio 40/45 years ago. I am only just beginning my journey near retirement from the 9to5.
    Thanks again

    I'm having difficulty with focusing, and your videos are always straightforward. I'm working to get my General and am heading to download HamStudy right now. I hope you make a General and Extra series like this Technician series as I can actually focus on the material easier in video format instead of plunking myself down with a book. My flighty mind has a tendency to wander! Good job. I wish I'd had this series when getting my Technician license. 73 de KF0BKX

    Pro Tip: Get a copy of the question/answer pool. Cross out all options except the correct answer. When you take the test, only one answer will look familiar and the others will be completely foreign.

I would say these videos were perhaps the most helpful tool I used to study for the exam. And I kinda went nuts, read two books, took an online course, watched multiple online prep courses, and yours, by far, was the most pertinent and useful with regards to test taking.
