  That was the big thing I brought up when giving exams. You just need to pass and then you can start learning.

    @jecxjo @667 the people who told me they don't want to memorize the answers and would rather fully understand all Q's never ended up taking the tests.

    It's not all or nothing. You don't need 100% to pass.

      I had a guy come in for a test with his wife. She just studied the questions and he went the understanding route. She passed and he didn’t. It was the Tech level, they just wanted something better than CB in their vehicle so there really wasn’t a lot they needed to know, just pass the test and stay on frequency.
