FCC License Exam Preparation

These pages have self-assessment tests covering the Marine Radio Operator's Permit [mrop], the General Radio Operator's License [grol] and the Global Marine Distress Safety System Operator's License [gmdss operator] and the Global Marine Distress Safety System Maintainer's License [gmdss maintainer], and the Radar Endorsement.

We believe that it's important to have a grasp of the knowledge, it's equally important to measure and identify area's we are lacking. Once we fills the gaps in our knowledge base, further testing validates our knowledge base and builds self confidence. This self-assessment process gives you confidence when you sit for the test. Preparation is the key. This site is not a primary teaching mechanism.

Testimonial:

This is without a doubt the best FCC test site on the internet. I used this site in order to study for Elements 1 and 3 so I could attain my FCC GROL License. I got one question wrong on the entire test! I finished all 100 questions in 39 minutes. Perhaps, if I had taken 40 minutes I would have had a perfect score! Next month I will take Element 9 for my GMDSS Maintainer License. Piece of cake!
