The final [http://rsgb.org/main/clubs-training/for-students/advanced/ full amateur radio licence] can be a challenge and self-study can be overwhelming.  The exam is 62 questions which you need to correctly answer a minimum of 37 questions (60% correct).  Unlike other countries (such as the United States), the amateur radio exam questions in the United Kingdom are not published ahead of time.  If you study the material and understand the fundamentals, you will pass handily.

This is a placeholder page for creating a more formal structure but we'll combine self-study with helpful documentation, discuss aspects of the syllabus, and arrange exams based upon the [http://rsgb.org/main/clubs-training/advanced-examination-dates/ RSGB-mandated dates.]  We're not planning on doing full classes as it is quite a bit more content than the previous two licences.
