This response is based on US license info:
For the basic entry level license, many local clubs will do a 6-8 hour cram session class with the test at the end of the day.
The entry level test is often successfully taken by boy & girl scouts around 10 years old. The 2nd level is comparable to the first in difficulty but also covers HF spectrum rules and operations. The highest level will likely require more study but you can get around to that at your leisure. You get almost all of the privileges with the 2nd level. For people capable of understanding bitcoin & self storage etc, these test are not difficult but you will need adequate exposure to the material to familiarize yourself with the concepts. For most people, I recommend going for the 2nd level license (general class license). The tests must be taken and passed in order to advance to the 2nd & 3rd level licenses.
The tests are multiple choice and the questions are public. The following are the resources I currently recommend to get prepared.
Ham Radio License Test Preparation:
1. Use HamStudy.org: HamStudy is a free website that provides practice tests for all ham radio licenses. It can help individuals prepare for their exams and find online or in-person test sessions. www.hamstudy.org
2. Check Out W4EEY on YouTube: W4EEY on YouTube offers excellent ham radio tutorials. He has playlists covering all ham radio license levels and occasionally conducts live classes. This resource can be valuable for learning ham radio concepts. Here are the playlists for the various licenses:
• Tech Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpziUWPBT3rOvSV6MCCeCaiK0
• General Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpziv2a26B_IoQ1RbXbIqieP2
• Extra Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ_9BZQ8gpzh7NC1WVKwCCmOTULSj1f93
3. Explore ARRL and Local Clubs: The American Radio Relay League (ARRL) website can help individuals find local ham radio clubs. These clubs often have information about local repeaters, club meetings, and ham radio "nets" (radio meetups). It's a good way to connect with other ham radio enthusiasts in your area.
