A new question pool took effect on July 1, 2023, for General-class license
exams. ARRL has released new editions of its popular study resources including
the 10th edition of The ARRL General Class License Manual[1] and the 7th
edition of ARRL's General Q&A[2].

ARRL has also updated its free online review and practice resource, ARRL Exam
Review for Ham Radio[3].

"ARRL Volunteer Examiners (VEs) are already administering the new General-class
exams," said ARRL VEC Manager Maria Somma, AB1FM. Somma suggests that
candidates first take a practice test using ARRL Exam Review. "If you're
already passing online practice exams, then you're ready to search for an
in-person exam session team, or you can take the exam online via a remote
video-supervised session." Visit the exam session search page[4] on the ARRL
website.

The new General-class question pool is valid for examinations taken between
July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2027. "Upgrading from a Technician-class license to
General-class significantly opens more operating privileges on HF bands," added
Somma.
