Scott, I just took the exam the last of November and there were I think it 
was either two or 3 at the most in that section of the exam.  If you 
download the question pool from handihams each section tells you how many 
exam questions come from that section.

Hi Butch,

Yes I agree that I will learn the theory as I go, but what I am trying =
to do is not memorize the answers. I want to understand how to work the =
problems so I can pass the test. I would rather understand how to solve =
the problems then try and remember dozens of answers. I agree with you =
and my goal is to get this over with as quickly as possible. I have no =
clue how many questions of this nature will even be on the exam and if =
it were just a couple, I would probably not worry very much. However, if =
there were 10 or 15 I would be quite concerned because  that could =
easily result in failing the whole test. SInce the test site is not that =
close to me I pretty much am going to pass it the first time around. In =
fact my goal is to take it no later than March just in the event I do =
blow it and I could then go back in May or June, which is the last month =
the current pool is in effect. grin
