You cannot go wrong in going through the lectures. The ones on the rules I
only did once but those on the technical material I did more carefully and
found very helpful. The pool is broken down into segments and each one
identifies how many questions are in the pool on the segment and how many
are in the exam.
Good luck. You should have it whipped in no time.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for that tip. I had not looked at the question pool quite yet. I =
guess I should do that first so at least I know which areas to focus on. =

I just dived into the lecture series and started there which was helpful =
and brought back some memories. I think the FCC really focuses on those =
rules, but since I live and eat regulations for a living, I probably =
should do pretty well on that part. grin
