[Elecraft] License Exam

[Larry Makoski W2LJ]

I've been a VE for over a decade now.  No, you cannot take just the 
elements for a particular grade of license and become that license class.

To earn to Technician license you must pass element 2
To earn a Tech + you must pass elements 2 and 1 (5 WPM code)
To earn a General class license you must pass elements 1, 2 and 3
To earn Amateur Extra you must pass elements 1, 2, 3 and 4

If you walk into a VE session without a license; and all you do is take, 
and pass, elements 1 and 3 then all you get is a very nice Certificate 
of Completion, which is good for 365 days.  At some point within that 
year, you must take and pass element 2 to complete the process and earn 
your license.  The same goes for all the other classes, accordingly.

Hope this clears the matter up for everyone.
