This course is intended to help you prepare for the Basic Amateur Radio examination.\u00a0 There are eight chapters.\u00a0 These eight chapters correspond to the eight broad subject areas of the Basic exam.\u00a0The eight broad subject areas are further divided in to sections. In Hamstudy, these sections are referred to as “lessons” and the terms lesson and section may be used interchangeably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some chapters have more lessons than others.\u00a0 Each lesson highlights a group of four to eleven (4 to 11) questions.\u00a0 On your exam, you will get only one question from each of the one hundred (100) sections (lessons).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each lesson is numbered by the sections of the exam. The \u201cB\u201d refers to the \u201cBasic Question Bank,\u201d from which all the exam questions come. Chapter 1 contains all the questions that begin with \u201cB-001.\u201d \u201cB-001-001\u201d refers to the first group of questions, and \u201cB-001-001-001\u201d would be the individual number of the first question in the Basic Question Bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each lesson begins with some instructional material discussing the topics and the questions that the lesson addresses. By carefully reading the instructional material, you should be able to answer correctly whichever question you get on your exam from that lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have read the instructional material, carefully look at each question and the possible answers. In this Hamstudy course<\/u><\/em><\/strong>, the first possible answer is always the correct answer. The correct answer will be followed by the three incorrect answers, also called \u201cdistractors.\u201d The incorrect answers are there to tempt you away from the correct answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Hamstudy quizzes and your real exam, the correct and incorrect answers for each question will appear in random order. You will have to identify the correct answer to get the mark. As well, the real exam will randomize the order of the questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here is an example of a question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n REMEMBER:<\/strong> In the Hamstudy lessons<\/strong>, the correct answer always appears first. But in the Hamstudy quizzes <\/strong>and on an official exam, the correct answer and the distractors will appear in random order. You have to select the correct answer from among four possible answers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you feel you know the material in a particular lesson, you can try the Hamstudy quiz that appears at the end of the lesson. The quiz will offer all the questions in that lesson, and randomize the order of the answers. At the end of the quiz, you will be able to identify which questions you missed. Go back and review the instructional material for that lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat appears on the exam<\/strong> or quiz<\/th> What it means<\/strong> or is<\/th><\/tr><\/thead> B-001-001-001<\/td> The number of the question<\/td><\/tr> Which document assigns the authority to make Canadian regulations governing radiocommunications? <\/td> The test item \u2013 this is the actual question you must answer<\/td><\/tr> \u25cf The Radiocommunication Act<\/td> In the Hamstudy lessons<\/strong>, the correct answer will always <\/strong>appear first.
