HamStudy.org
How does HamStudy.org help me focus on specific topics I'm weak on, like antennas or propagation rules?
HamStudy.org lets you study by category, so you can select specific topics like antennas or propagation rules and drill down on just those questions. This targeted approach helps you improve in areas where you're struggling without wasting time on material you already know.
Can I switch between flashcard mode and practice exam mode easily within the app?
Yes, switching between flashcard mode and practice exam mode is just one tap, making it simple to alternate between quick review sessions and simulated timed tests. The practice exam mode includes a timer to help you get comfortable with real test pressure.
I'm having trouble finding where to change the question pool I'm studying. Where is that option located?
The option to change your question pool is located in a menu at the top of the screen. It might take a moment to spot at first, but once you tap that menu, you can easily switch between Technician, General, and Extra pools.
Does my progress sync between the HamStudy.org mobile app and the website if I use both?
Yes, your progress syncs seamlessly between the mobile app and the website, so you can study on your phone and pick up where you left off on your laptop. This worked smoothly for the reviewer, who used both a Samsung Galaxy S23 and a computer.
How does HamStudy.org compare to buying a traditional study book or using an online course?
HamStudy.org costs around $4–$5 as a one-time purchase with no subscriptions, which is much cheaper than a $20 study book or expensive online courses. It's also more portable than a book, letting you study anywhere like a waiting room or bus, and it focuses purely on FCC question pools with clear explanations.
