Is the extra test really hard? I am not great at all that math crap.

The extra test can be kinda tricky wiht the math stuff, but once you learn the math formula's it becomes a lot eaiser.

Order the Gorden West Extra class manual.. Highlight the answers.. read the solutions.. don't complain about the test, and don't give up.. do this for a month.. go take the test.. pass the test..

This is the path I am taking...

Thankfully it's a multiple choice test. I took it when I took my CW, and I got a 50% or so, so I think with a little studying, I could go for it. Maybe over the summer.

Thankfully, math is one of my better subjects, so I'm not too worried about that. It's really about having 20-30 minutes a day to study. It's not nearly as hard to get extra as it was when they had a 20wpm code test...
