                                  <div>In my limited experience, the

                                    the exam in 2016 and felt like it

                                    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
