5. Two (2) Pencils or pen

6. A calculator with the memory erased and formulas cleared is allowed. You may not bring any written notes or calculations into the exam session. Slide rules and logarithmic tables are acceptable, as long as they're free of notes and formulas. Cell phone must be silenced or turned off during the exam session and the phones' calculator function may not be used. In addition, iPhones, iPads, Androids, smartphones, Blackberry devices and all similar electronic devices with a calculator capability, may NOT be used

7. You are required to provide either your FRN or Social Security Number on the 605 and Exam answer sheets. VEC’s are required by the FCC to submit either your SSN or your FRN number with your license application form. If you prefer not to give your SSN at the exam session, then you may register your SSN with the FCC before exam day. Once you have a FCC issued FRN, you may no longer use your SSN on the application. Visit the ARRL or FCC for additional information and instructions on how to register your SSN with the FCC and receive a FRN and FAQ's. As an option you may also file for a FRN number before taking your first Amateur Radio exam if you do not want to file on a public computer at the Library.

8. Arrive early.

Walk Ins permitted.

As a Courtesy to the Volunteer VE team members email the or call 318-1700 to pre-register for the exam session.
License Exams will be given for all classes.
