You need not pass a 13-wpm code exam for the General ticket, as in earlier times (the code requirement is now just 5 wpm for Technician plus, General and the Amateur Extra Class license; there is a move afoot to abolish the code requirement altogether for all three grades of ham licenses). However, the written test is 55 questions in length. You must score 74 percent or more (at least 41 questions answered correctly) to pass.

When I took my tests...I passed the General exam and only missed 1 question...and it was one of those trick questions....and didn't miss any on the Advanced exam......But ...when it came to the code portion...I hit that 10 w/m plateau...and through the pencil acrosed the room. That was That.....and was only a Tech Plus....
