Walk out of your VE session with a callsign. Every one of the 409 questions in the Technician pool comes with an explanation of why the wrong answers are wrong — not a line telling you which one was right. That is the app, not a bonus feature. Built for the NCVEC 2026–2030 Technician (Element 2) question pool: the edition in effect since July 1, 2026, all 409 questions of it, bundled for offline study. Sitting again? Say so when you start and a Retake plan appears — one full-pool diagnostic, then the pool's ten subelements ordered by where you stand across the whole bank, weakest first, each one a drill you can open from the list. WHAT YOU GET • The complete public Technician (Element 2) question pool, bundled for offline use • An explanation for all 409 questions that takes on the wrong answers, not only the right one • Spaced-repetition daily review that adapts to you • Full 35-question mock exam that draws one question from each of the 35 official groups, with the 26/35 pass threshold • Review any finished sitting question by question — your own choice beside the answer and its explanation • Past exams with your pass streak, and the subelements that sitting missed, worst first • Weak-subelement mastery mode that targets your worst groups • Exam-readiness gauge (0–100%) with per-subelement scores • Formula helper cards: Ohm's law, wavelength/frequency, power • 100% pool-seen progress tracker, plus a mistake journal for the questions you keep missing • Dark mode and Dynamic Type support • Optional daily-review reminder Try it free, then unlock the full pool and all study modes with one purchase. Pay once. No weekly or annual renewal. Question pool is the public-domain NCVEC Technician pool. Explanations and study tools are original. Not affiliated with the FCC, ARRL, or NCVEC.
