About Ham Radio Companion

Pass your US ham radio license exam and get on the air. Ham Radio Companion turns the real license test into something you can actually study, anywhere, with no signal required.

Whether you're going for Technician, General, or Amateur Extra, you'll practice with the exact questions you'll see on exam day, build real confidence, and walk in ready. It's completely free, works fully offline, and asks for no account.

Every official exam question

Included in full, with all schematic figures, straight from the public NCVEC pools:

  • Technician 2026-2030 (effective July 1, 2026) — 409 questions
  • General 2023-2027 — 423 questions
  • Amateur Extra 2024-2028 — 599 questions
  • 1,431 real questions in all

Realistic mock exams

Built the official way, one random question per topic group, scored just like the real test:

  • Technician and General: 35 questions, pass at 26 correct
  • Amateur Extra: 50 questions, pass at 37 correct (74%)

Flexible study modes

  • Custom practice quizzes of 10, 25, or 50 questions
  • Study by topic (subelement), one area at a time
  • Weak-areas drill that targets exactly what's tripping you up
  • Missed-questions review to retry what you got wrong
  • Bookmarked questions to revisit anything you flag

Pause and resume anytime

Stop any exam or quiz and pick up exactly where you left off — every answer, flag, and the timer are saved automatically.
