Get your FCC Commercial License! My name is Fred Maia and I am the co-author of GROL Plus - a 496-page textbook that contains every actual word-for-word question, multiple choice and correct answer identified. A short explanation of the correct answer is also included. Our objective was to make it as easy as possible to pass your FCC General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL) examination which is required as a prerequisitie for many telecommunications and electronic jobs. Many technical schools, universities and colleges use our manual as their textbook. We also administer the examinations at approximately 200 different sites around the USA. The GROL requires that you pass an eaxmination on radio law (Element 1) plus a technical (electronics) examination (Element 3). The GROL FCC examination consists of 100 multiple choice questions from a pool of about 1,000 - all of which are known. Thus the FCC exam is made up of selecting about 10 percent of the questions. Again the entire question bank is in the book. As an added bonus, we have added the "Radar Endorsement" (Element 8) questions/multiple choices and answers. Again, we have included an easy-to-understand explanation of every answer. -- The author, Fred Maia

Much of This is Available Free,
By A Customer
This review is from: GROL Plus: General Radiotelephone Operator License Plus Radar Endorsement (Paperback)
I just want to point out that the entire FCC question pool is available with answers from www.fcc.gov. If you have minimal background a book like this can help with its explainations and would be quite valuable, but if you just want the most up to date answers instead of a 1998 edition, it's online for free.

ALL YOU NEED TO PASS AN FCC TEST,
This review is from: GROL Plus: General Radiotelephone Operator License Plus Radar Endorsement (Paperback)
Well, there isn't much to say about the content of this book. It covers Elements 1, 3, and 8, lists all the questions in the question pool, and gives the answers and an explanation. Some people have found SOME inaccuracies before (maybe not this edition, though). Anyway, thanks to this, I passed all 3 of my FCC tests on the first try, saving me a lot of $$$ and heartache. The best way--in my opinion--to go about studying for it is to highlight all the answers with a yellow marker. Concentrate only on the answers. Don't bother yourself with "Why it is the answer" or "Why the other options are not." For those of us that are more visual than verbal, try drawing pictures on the margins next to each question. Cartoons supposedly help you remember things better--it did in my case. If you study like I did, you won't even need a calculator for the test. But in addition to being a test study guide, this book is also pretty good reference material. It should be in your toolbox at all times.

GROL Plus: A Must Have Book!,
By WAYNE EIKNER (SHREVPORT, LA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: GROL Plus: General Radiotelephone Operator License Plus Radar Endorsement (Paperback)
I just took my GROL this past week and could not have possibly passed it without this book. This book is great. It provides you with all the possible questions the test givers can ask you and provides detailed answers for every question. Plus, you get the same info for the Element 8, the Ship Radar Endorsement. I took all three elements on the same day and passed every one of them with ease. Trust me! Your money will not be wasted!
