Practice questions

Have been using this site Test Questions to practice for my upcoming exam on Saturday. You can retake the test quite a few times, as the questions vary with a new attempt.

I used that site too, it helped. Some of the questions are not quite up to date, but if you are generally getting high scores you should do fine.

Another useful practice resource is on the RSGB website. There are mock papers for all exams with answers, and also sample question spreadsheets. I see they have update the spreadsheets since I took mu exam.. the answers used to be there on the sheet in your face, but now you need to enter your answer and it will tell if it is correct or not.

Good luck Mark!

Also you can get an App on your phone or tab.

Hi
Sorry for hijacking the thread, but how close are the mock exams to the actual tests?

I start the online training today and hit 17 or 18/26 on mocks prior to start.  I'm ex-forces radio op and a long-time SW listener.

Thanks in advance.

When I took my test in 2018, funnily enough... a few of the questions that came up in the mock tests came up on the actual test paper I was given.

Same. I found a couple were the same, or worded almost the same.

As well as the mocks, do check the 'exam sample questions schedules' if you haven't done so already. Some of those are bound to come up in the exam.

Cheers.  I start the Essex course today and trying to absorb the areas I'm weakest in before my test in December.

not long took my exam and there was 4 questions that were on the mock of "getin ta grips" just luck i think and there was an intermediate question (?????) (did ask the invidulator and they mix it up a bit )that i got right woohoo
the uk Amateur (HAM) radio test app on play store very good as i used that as well and has all 3 levels to practice and free even better
good luck and like Neal, Al, vic ect ect all said read every question at least twice you have loads of time,if not sure tick the question and come back to it, have a calc with you you will need it unless you real good with maths, im dyslexic and passed no bother should have done it years ago

I'm pretty rubbish with numbers, so a calculator is a good idea.  I'm used to studying for IT exams and trick questions are a pain.  When completely confused always went with the least wrong answer!!

You should do well there Mick if signed up to the excellent Foundation course run by Pete and the gang at Essex Ham.

Many of us here owe thanks and our 'tickets' to their invaluable work.

I wish you well with it all.  


All the best,
Victor
