How to obtain an FCC radio license?📚
📚 Question bank and practice questions
First, you need to familiarize yourself with the question bank. The G and T level exams require answering at least 26 questions correctly, while the E level exam requires answering at least 37 questions correctly. You can access the hamstudy.org website, which contains the question bank, a simulated exam mode, along with answers and explanations.
📋 Gather materials
The following materials are required for the exam:
Passport
US mailing address and phone number
FRN (Registration address can be found on the FCC website, and you can register even without a US address; URL:) Remember this number.
🌐 Finding exam times
Once the materials are prepared, you can find available exam times on the website, paying attention to the time difference. Exam fees range from $10 to $15.
🖥Exam Process
The exam is typically conducted via Zoom. Before the exam, the exam committee will send you the Zoom meeting link to your email. Once you enter the meeting room, you need to:
Verify identity information, present passport.
Check the exam environment to ensure that there are no prohibited items present.
Once everything is prepared, go to the exam.tools website to perform testing.

📅 Other considerations
Once you pass the T exam, you can schedule the G exam at any time without waiting.
After submitting the exam results to the FCC, you need to log in to the CORES system ()to make a payment. If you do not have an FCC account, you need to register on the CORES system login page. After registering, link your FRN to this FCC account, and then pay $35 using a Visa/Mastercard card.
