### Begin General Exam Posting ###
Its that time of year again! Come on by the Ham Radio Village at DEF CON 30 to get your amateur radio license and/or upgrade!
The Ham Radio Village will be offering free amateur radio exam session at DEF CON 30 on August 12, 13, and 14 for all attendees to come and take the amateur radio license exam!
Please note since April 19th 2022, the FCC has imposed a new $35 application fee for new licensees (and more). Once you pass your exam, you will receive an email from the FCC to pay the application fee within a one week window, at which point your application will be invalidated, and a new application will need to be filed (note, you will not need to re-take the exam provided you have your Certificate of Successful Completion of Examination from the session*).
## How to get ready
We recommend using ham.study (https://ham.study) to study the exam. The technician and general (first two of three levels) exams are 35 question exams, with publicly available question pools. ham.study will help you study by running though the entire question bank.
One you're ready to go, sign up on our exam listings (below), where you will fill out all the relevant information, and get your FRN if you do not already have one.
