The following tests are based on the Colorado Section training standard. If you do not live within Colorado yet wish to take the exams, PLEASE be sure you indicate in your comments at the end of each test where you reside and understand that if there are a lot of Colorado residents testing, they have priority.

You may take the tests at any time after you have completed reading the source material.
The single most important hint for those that test is: "think like you are a Ham in a beginning communications class". Many people have missed 5 to 10% of their questions by attempting to out think themselves, i.e., extrapolating out to some obscure example before they answer the question.

Please understand that there are two questions on attitude that are mandatory. If you miss either of those you will need to retake the test. If you get both of them correct, you can miss many more than two (actually 19 out of the first one hundred questions) and still pass the test (The only passing score on attitude is 100%).

There are two tests of fifty questions each for both the "Basic" and EC material. You may take the tests for a given level at different times as long as you complete the second test within two weeks of taking the first. Please fill in all portions at the beginning of each test and make comments at the end of each test if you choose to.

Your scores will be returned to you (with the incorrect answers you submitted) within one week of my receiving the full one hundred questions or, fifty questions for NCS. Persons passing both tests for BASIC, will have their Call/District included in the ECom Completions page. Each of the E.C.s within Colorado have been notified about this portion of the process and will look for your call on that page.
