Title: Who has used Ham Test Online based on suggestion from PH?
Post by: AD on July 22, 2012, 09:44:10 PM
I am trying to get a total count of how many PH folks have purchased any of the HTOL to study for any of the Amatuer Radio license test?

The reason is i am going to try real hard to get them to finaly give PH members a big discount on signing up. 

So if you have bought any of the packages at HTOL, please post here.  Let me know which of the services you bought and what email address you used( if it the one for PH just say email from my profile). If other, PM me with what you used to sign up. 

I hope 16 BL will post the names of email them to me.

I used it for my general and extra with the email address that you have.
Also excited to see what comes of this, need to sign my son up for his tech here very soon.... (have him doing the free preview for the moment to make sure the format will work for him)

You know my results.   ;D

I also paid for a tech subscription for my son's fiancee, and when I found out my niece's husband is working with some remote-reporting radio equipment and antennas in his work, I paid for the big package for him.  Told him to start learning the science behind antennae and signals, and maybe make himself more valuable to his company.  There's three or four other people I will buy a subscription for as time passes (daughter's kids are 2 and 4, NO time to study anything, etc.)

I used it for tech less the 10 hours of study used on it missed on question.  Currently using it for General but my tight schedule does not allow for much retainment of knowledge right now.

Ended up signing my son up for the tech portion tonight, he is trying to study up before school starts.  I emailed you his email address for your list.

I purchased the General using the email from my profile  and passed my GENERAL EXAM  on 12/15/2012 after only 15 hours online study. Only missed 1 question on the EXAM.
Then I discovered that only 17% of Hams make it to EXTRA, SO I purchased the EXTRA and passed my EXTRA on 01/05/2013.
Only missed 2 questions on that exam. Total hours Study time 39.36 hours.

9+ years as a TECH and then in less than 40 hours online Study time, 1 of the 17%...

Ham Test Online is the ticket to getting your Ticket.

Congrats. I plan on getting my xtra someday. Money got tight and it is on the backburner. I used HTOL for my other studies and it worked great.

Per your reccomendation, I purchased Extra HTOL and it was great.  I was better prepared for my Extra than I was my gen or tech exams.  Email same as profile.

Glad to here.  Be sure to send John at HTOL a note and let him know how well his site worked for you.

It's worth it.  I went a bit overboard myself - dad's both former .mil and a pilot, so being gung-ho and enjoying a decent opportunity to study something high tech that may as well be witchcraft to many kind of runs in the family. 

I'm in the process of setting aside funds for a main rig, but people keep getting sick or getting married - in one case, both, but she's feeling MUCH better now.

I would agree that HTOL "IS" the way to go.  After having my General for over 20 years, most of it being inactive, I used HTOL to study and get my Extra ticket.  For a LOT of the math, I had absolutely NO idea what the answers meant, but was still able to pass without problems.  Yes, you still have to do your part and study, but I'm pretty sure that I spent far less time studying for Extra than I did for my General so long ago.

I did, but I can't remember if you were suggesting them at the time, or trying to sort out something. I used it for Tech and General and I think it's a great system..  Sure, there are parts that could be improved.

One suggestion, when I signed up, it said you get a free year for each new transaction, so I used three separate transactions to extend my subscription time to 3 years.

I also used HTOL for my tech and general. I studied for four weeks (63hrs total) and passed both exams in one sitting! It was worth it... However, the tests are right in line with the ones published so you may be able to save some money by using the arrl iPad apps for 4.99.

Just do it!
Stay safe!

FYI, My wife recently got her Tech and used HTOL in addition to a class put on by a local club ( and some tutoring by me ).

My Neighbor Tim used it to pass his tech and general in one sitting.

He is now studying to get his extra.

Hell even I per this site used it to upgrade to extra. Great website. Simply can't go wrong.
