   An analysis of what has/hasn't changed in the new question pool.  Apparently 100 of the questions are new (per this post - link in the top post to the detailed analysis). https://www.reddit.com/r/amateurradio/comments/18ok9ri/2024_amateur_extra_pool_what_has_changed/

  Good morning. My experience with the ICOM HamStudy app was great. Very affordable and very effective learning tool that utilizes the same format as the actual test ! I studied with this tool for a few months and passed the test easily.  Check on line for a club that conducts tests on regular basis.  Good luck Greg
 Good luck.

    I will totally defer to a more active VE, but it looks like a new Extra question pool goes into effect July 1, per  https://www.arrl.org/news/new-amateur-extra-class-question-pool-released-effective-july-1-2024 
  The end of that page encourages people who have studied using the book you reference to take their test before the end of June. 
  In my limited experience, the question pools don’t radically change. I used the 1998 edition of the General license manual to pass the exam in 2016 and felt like it was exactly what I had studied. Some of the questions may be reworded, and a few new questions may be added on newer digital modes, but the core concepts don’t change. So personally, I would be comfortable buying the current 12th Edition but taking the exam in July or later. 
  I would recommend that you take a few practice exams online ahead of time. (Unrelated to the change.) It’s helpful for knowing where to focus on studying more, and gives you confidence in your skills. I cannot recommend a specific site because the one I used, run by a ham on his personal website, now requires payment?!

Hi, 
 
I am planning to up grade my Advanced Class ticket to Extra and would appreciate any replies to some questions.
 
1.  Is the ARRL 12th editions (2002-2024) study guide sold by Amazon the best choice?
 
2.  Is the downloadable .pdf version ligit?
 
3.  How to arrange for the exam?
 
73,
