## What is HamTester Extra?

This application will generate unlimited examinations for you to take to prepare you for your actual testing session.

"It is important to realize that to prepare someone to take an exam, you need to do more than just present a question pool. It is more than just questions/answers, statistics etc. It requires a mental preparation also.

I created the HamTester series Technician, General and Extra to be as close to a real FCC exam session as I could, to prepare the student for more than just a list of questions." - Gene Backlin

And Gene should know. Since 2000, Gene has been a Volunteer Examiner(VE) and has presided over 150 examination sessions. He has seen what it takes to pass, as well as mentored and encouraged/tutored those who have not.

"It is a great hobby, and if I have been able in any way to help you achieve your ham ticket, I am thankful for your trust in my application" - Gene Backlin

Features include:

- Unlimited Examination Generation.
- Complete Extra Class Question Pool 
      included for immediate study.
- Immediate grading of exam upon completion.
