I passed the exam!

When I started my interest in amateur radio, there were six different classes of licenses, and I started out at one of the lowest.  Over the years, my license became the lowest of three.  Now I’m in the second class, with only one more left to master.

I’m very happy with myself.  The test was easier than I thought.  I actually scored better on this test than I had in a month of practicing: 91.4%, or 32 correct out of 35 questions.  It was very rewarding.

After accomplishing what I’d set out to do, they asked if I wanted to test for the next level.  It wouldn’t cost any more, so I did.  If I had correctly answered another 19 questions I would have passed (the next level has 50 questions).  But it was nice to leave with what I’d gone in for.

The best part is, I accomplished a task, I completed a goal.  If I can do one thing, I can do others.  And I really needed to prove that to myself.

And a month from now, I hope to be sitting in the same room passing the last exam.

Back to the practice tests…
