Hi, I think that our passing grade on theory here is either 70 or 75% or
something like that, but what about the theory you have there? For all
parts including CW which was dropped to 5 WPM you have to get that 70 to
75% i think it is though, and if I remember correctly there were about
30-40 or so questions out of a pool of possible questions, and I found the
tech easy, as that was the study material I had, and would study just
before bed, and this was in the midst of a lot of stress and 16 credits of
college that i was loosing my mind over at the time, but still managed to
pass.
