I will have my General after I take the test on 08/12/2023 and I am already looking toward the Extra Class ticket. Why? Because as you said it stretches the mind and as a retired 70+yr old I need to keep stretching my mind and ham radio is a fun way for me to do that. I was a nerd in HS in the 60's, but couldn't learn code so I did CB radio instead. Learned some stuff and then got married, job the usual stuff, and left it behind. Now I come back and I am more engaged and committed to the technical side of the craft. You have been a big, huge, tremendous help in that regard. I just got the workbooks for General and Extra and will now dive into the math (not my strong suite) with gusto and LEARN it. 73 Alvin/KN6ZVI
I've used the fast track books for both my tech and general. However the math on the extra was well beyond my math background. Ordered the fastrack extra book, and got comfortable enough to take and pass my extra last week. To my surprise, my question pool did not contain a single math question! Glad I was prepared, and had the math confidence going into the exam.
