Bring photo ID, the exam fee (often ~$15), and a calculator if allowed. You may take multiple elements in one sitting if you pass each in order.

Why bundle exam prep tools?

License study works best with short, repeatable drills — band privilege quizzes, flashcards with missed-question review, phonetic alphabet rounds, and reference calculators you can use offline on your phone.

Progress saves in your browser with no account. After you pass, explore all ham tools, the East TN bundle for local repeaters, or the emcomm workflow if you plan to volunteer.
