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 !

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