The question pool is posted in its raw format, meaning tips and hints have not yet been devised.
Practice drills for the Amateur Extra question pool effective July 1, 2024 through June 31, 2028. It is recommended to follow along with the ARRL Extra Class License Manual 13th edition. There are 621 questions in the question pool. As far as I know, this site is the only one where the sequence of questions follows the sequence of the manual, making it an easy reference to learn. Each question is preceded by a question ID e.g. E1A01 and page number e.g. p1-2 so that you may reference the manual. You will also find references to the FCC Part 97.
