AI Help Enabled Ham Radio Extra Class Practice Test| FCC Element 4 Question Pool 2024–2028

 

Extra Class Practice Exam

Free AI enabled (no key required) exams are now available: extra tech

Get ready for the FCC Extra Class license exam with this free online ham radio practice test. Our interactive exam tool uses the official FCC Element 4 Question Pool (valid July 2024–2028) and automatically tracks your performance. See your score history, review stacked bar charts of correct vs wrong answers by subelement, and drill down into specific group stats with a single click.

This version of the exam is identical to the first release with a single exception. This version has an AI help facility. To see a demo of how to us it, please see this post and associated video. To use the AI features, you'll need to have your own OpenAI API key. You'll input that in a dialog that is not visible to anyone but your browser. One of the points of these exam practice pages was to demonstrate that they could be deployed without needing server-side code, and they don't.

This is the first practice run of the free online ham radio practice exams. I fully expect it to be a bit buggy. Please leave any suggestions or bug descriptions in the comments.

Exam scores and statistics will be stored in the URL when you click 'New exam/Save Scores' after you complete an exam. To get back to your scores, you should be able to use the histsory feature in your browser, or if you'd rather, copy the link somewhere to put into a browser later.

Important Note: To save your scores via browser history, make sure to copy the URL into a new tab and navigate to it. At that point, it'll be saved in your browser history.

I'm building this with GPT5 and it's working pretty well. The question pool is from the United States FCC extra class exam pool (FCC Element 4 Question Pool) valid since July of 2024.

The stacked bar charts show you your correct (green) vs (wrong) responses for each subelement. The carret buttons show further charting on your responses for each subelement group.

Keep checking back to the blog for new versions as this evolves.

This Extra Class practice exam is designed to make studying easier and more transparent. Your exam results and statistics are stored right in the URL, so you can bookmark or share your progress. Built with GPT-5, this free ham radio practice tool helps you prepare for the highest level of the US amateur radio license by focusing on your strengths and weaknesses across the FCC Element 4 pool. Try it out, track your improvement, and get ready to pass your Extra Class exam.

Cool Math Tricks: Deriving the Divergence, (Del or Nabla) into New (Cylindrical) Coordinate Systems

Now available as a Kindle ebook for 99 cents ! Get a spiffy ebook, and fund more physics The following is a pretty lengthy procedure, but converting the divergence, (nabla, del) operator between coordinate systems comes up pretty often. While there are tables for converting between common coordinate systems , there seem to be fewer explanations of the procedure for deriving the conversion, so here goes! What do we actually want? To convert the Cartesian nabla to the nabla for another coordinate system, say… cylindrical coordinates. What we’ll need: 1. The Cartesian Nabla: 2. A set of equations relating the Cartesian coordinates to cylindrical coordinates: 3. A set of equations relating the Cartesian basis vectors to the basis vectors of the new coordinate system: How to do it: Use the chain rule for differentiation to convert the derivatives with respect to the Cartesian variables to derivatives with respect to the cylindrical variables. The chain ...

The Valentine's Day Magnetic Monopole

There's an assymetry to the form of the two Maxwell's equations shown in picture 1.  While the divergence of the electric field is proportional to the electric charge density at a given point, the divergence of the magnetic field is equal to zero.  This is typically explained in the following way.  While we know that electrons, the fundamental electric charge carriers exist, evidence seems to indicate that magnetic monopoles, the particles that would carry magnetic 'charge', either don't exist, or, the energies required to create them are so high that they are exceedingly rare.  That doesn't stop us from looking for them though! Keeping with the theme of Fairbank[1] and his academic progeny over the semester break, today's post is about the discovery of a magnetic monopole candidate event by one of the Fairbank's graduate students, Blas Cabrera[2].  Cabrera was utilizing a loop type of magnetic monopole detector.  Its operation is in...

More Cowbell! Record Production using Google Forms and Charts

First, the what : This article shows how to embed a new Google Form into any web page. To demonstrate ths, a chart and form that allow blog readers to control the recording levels of each instrument in Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" is used. HTML code from the Google version of the form included on this page is shown and the parts that need to be modified are highlighted. Next, the why : Google recently released an e-mail form feature that allows users of Google Documents to create an e-mail a form that automatically places each user's input into an associated spreadsheet. As it turns out, with a little bit of work, the forms that are created by Google Docs can be embedded into any web page. Now, The Goods: Click on the instrument you want turned up, click the submit button and then refresh the page. Through the magic of Google Forms as soon as you click on submit and refresh this web page, the data chart will update immediately. Turn up the:...
