Technician 2026 - 2030

These are practice drills for the NEW Technician question pool effective July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2030. The questions are sequenced along with the ARRL Ham Radio License Manual 5th edition. There are 409 questions in the question pool. 

Use the Technician Study resources found under Resources in the main menu. Especially the Cheat Sheet and Frequency Band Plan.

This site follows the sequence in the manual. So if you're using the manual to study, this is the tool to use. Each question references the question ID eg. T1D01 and the page number e.g. 7-15, so that you may easily reference the manual. There are references to the FCC Part 97.
