After a brief cram session with my Elmer, Doug, we went down to the test location a few miles from my home. Beforehand, I verified that walk-ins were accepted, confirmed the fee was $15 (I brought cash) and brought a few extra number two pencils and a pen. After signing in and completing a small amount of paperwork, I took my exam.
I scored 31/35 for a passing grade! I think I recognized about 2/3 to 3/4 of the questions on my exam. Practice exams and gaining insights from my Elmer really made the difference. I passed the test on a Thursday and one of the test administrators said I should receive my official call sign from the FCC on Wednesday of the following week.
