ARLB004 New Amateur Extra Question Pool Released

The new Amateur Extra-class license examination question pool, effective
from July 1, 2020, through June 30, 2024, has been released and is available
at the National Conference of Volunteer Coordinators (NCVEC) website at,
http://www.ncvec.org/ .

The 2020-2024 Extra-class pool incorporates significant changes compared to
the current 2016-2020 question pool, which expires on June 30. The number of
questions in the pool was reduced from 712 to 622. The result was 239
modified questions, 49 new questions, and
139 questions removed due to changes in what was felt to be an abundance of
outdated questions, while areas of new technology and subjects were added.

In addition, an effort was made to balance the difficulty level, removing or
replacing some questions deemed too easy or too difficult compared to the
rest of the pool. The 2020 pool has 10 diagrams, which have been renumbered
because the new question pool has two fewer than the 2016 question pool.
