To take an FCC exam, you must bring the following:

  • Two forms of identification; one of which must be a “Government Issued Photo ID”.
  • Original and one photo copy of CSCE (Certificate of Successful Completion of Exam) toward the next class license, if any.  The CSCE is only needed if testing before a license issue or update is not reflected in FCC Database.
  • The 2024 fee is $14.00.  Cash is preferred; check or credit card “may be accepted” in extreme circumstances.  Credit card may not always be accepted.
  • The examination fee allows an examinee to take one test of each element.  Element “retakes” are allowed for an additional payment of $14.00.
  • Supplies – pen and/or pencil, eraser, calculator, etc.  You may request scratch paper in the exam; do not bring your own scratch paper.
    • Calculators must be “stand-alone”; that is, not an “app” on a phone or tablet.
  • We are now using a fully on-line registration and testing system.
  • On the application, you will be asked to answer the “Basic Qualification Question” which asks,
    • “Has the Applicant or any party to this application, or any party directly or indirectly controlling the Applicant, ever been convicted of a felony by any state or federal court?”
    • Whether you answer “yes” or “no”, you may continue to take the test; however if you answer, “yes”, you will need to follow the special instructions on the back of the application regarding the disposition of your case.
  • To register, send an e-mail to ve@aresdec.org and a registration link will be sent to you for the specific session you’re interested in. Alternatively, visit https://hamstudy.org/sessions/K8ZTT/all to complete your registration.
