CommStudy is THE app for studying for the written portion of your FCC Commercial License exam! Download this FREE app and try out the sample Elements! Each sample contains only 20% of the questions contained in the full Element. If you decide you want to purchase the full Element, this is done via an in-app purchase. All seven elements are included: 1, 3, 6, 7, 7R, 8, and 9. FCC Commercial License exams are composed of questions from a pool. Use this application prior to taking your exam to review and practice all possible questions. Then, test your knowledge with practice exams! Some questions require you to review associated Figures. On the iPad, the figures appear below the question. These figures may be zoomed and panned on the iPhone/iPod touch. After completing your first practice exam, the question pool screen will display your proficiency in each question subelement/topic for all practice exams you have completed. This will help you determine what areas need further study! You may choose to receive immediate feedback on right and wrong answers when taking a practice test or you can wait until the test is completed and review the questions in the Test History section. On practice tests, no question will be repeated until all of the questions have been used in a particular subelement/topic. The practice tests do adhere to the requirements of the actual tests. They are each composed of the proper number of questions from each section of the corresponding question pool. An in-progress practice test can be resumed if you exit the test or the application. This app has these additional features: • Portrait and Landscape support on iPad • Swipe gestures to navigate between questions • Tap on answer to select it • Buttons to skip to next/previous wrong answer in test history • Configurable Test Settings • Optional randomizing of test answers • Optional auto-advance during test ## Key features - Practice with sample and full FCC license exam elements - Review associated figures for questions - Track proficiency by subelement/topic - Realistic practice exams - Immediate feedback option - Resume in-progress tests - Configurable test settings ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Element 1 | $2.99 | one-time | | Element 3 | $4.99 | one-time | | Element 6 | $4.99 | one-time | | Element 7 | $4.99 | one-time | | Element 8 | $3.99 | one-time | | Element 7R | $3.99 | one-time | | Element 9 | $3.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (10 of 46) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/commstudy/id337472575/reviews.md ### 5/5 — great app *2026-04-26* app has the correct questions & answers and allows you to preview before buying. Similar to the arrl study review app for ham but in a simplified text based format. ### 5/5 — Very good for fcc test practice *2023-09-24* Very easy and simple practice for learning fcc test training ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-01-06* Very helpful everything from the app is all on the test got element one done just three days after beinging to study ### 1/5 — Purchased question banks don’t load. *2020-09-12* Bought one of the full question banks and the app doesn’t load the questions. Tried uninstalling and reactivating purchases and nothing happens. **Developer response:** Send an e-mail to support@patrickjmaloneyllc.com and we will work with you to resolve your issue. We just retested this on iOS 12-14 and it continues to work for us. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2020-06-06* Easy study, easy test and great value. ### 5/5 — Good app *2019-10-04* Good app no issues good guide ### 1/5 — Not populated with complete question bank *2019-01-01* It was a great app for convenience and to study, but when I took my GMDSS test for Elements 1 and 7, only a small percentage of the questions from the app were actually on the test! I think this app probably needs an automatic update function. Do yourself a favor and do not trust this app to ensure you pass Element 1 and Element 7. You would be better served to print off the FCC question bank or search for s more updated app. **Developer response:** Hi and thanks for the review. Per the description, when you download the app, only 20% of the questions are available in each element (these are listed under "Sample Elements"). You need to purchase the full version of an element to access all of the questions in that element. Once you purchase an element, it will move from the "Sample Elements" section to the "Purchased Elements" section and you will have access to the entire question pool for that element. ### 4/5 — Works well *2018-03-20* I think the app is great for the convenience it brings to the table. It allows me to study from anywhere as long as I have my phone. ### 5/5 — FCC *2016-08-07, version 2.1.1* This app is helping out a great deal. Should have no problems pass test. ### 5/5 — Ver y good app *2015-11-06, version 2.1.1* This app is amazing. I love the convenience of the random feature to help you ace these fcc tests. ## Frequently asked questions about CommStudy ### What is CommStudy?
