[Boatanchors] Ham Ticket

[Bob Young]

I used the Gordon West (which are more straight forward than the ARRL books) 
and the ARRL books and QRZ. The books are good and explain the questions and 
answers and the tests at QRZ. help you remember the questions and answers 
after you understand them. QRZ helped me a lot.

A local elderly gentleman wants to get his ticket.  What instructional 
materials
would you suggest?

A guess I should contact a local VEC.

Thank you

The ARRL license manual for the various classes of
license in which he is interested.

Then repeatedly take the sample tests on QRZ.com

http://www.qrz.com

You have to take 14 of the tests in a row before you
see all of the potential questions.  Most people stop
at 10.

When the potential applicant repeatedly gets 85% or
more they have about a 98% chance of passing the test.
Depending on the individual this can take between an
average of week and about 4 weeks if they take the
exams a couple of times a day.
