About this app

HamStudy is not your typical study app. Most study apps focus on practice exams, which is like studying for your math test by trying 20% of the questions on repeat. Study smarter with HamStudy.

Instead of taking practice tests with random questions over and over, our intelligent Study Mode tracks your progress as you move through the questions—what you’ve seen, what you haven’t, and where you’re struggling—and focuses your study on the questions you need to see most. Full statistics are provided along the way, giving you insight into how many times you’ve gotten a question right or wrong as well as your overall study progress. Don’t worry, you can still take practice exams whenever you want.

You won’t find a better tool to use alongside your favorite learning material. Through collaboration with some of the most recognized names in amateur radio, HamStudy allows you to simply choose from a selection of license manuals, then instantly adapts so you can match your study to the chapters, topics, and sections you’re used to†. Want to study just the questions from chapters 4 and 5? No problem. And when a question trips you up, just tap the Explain button to understand what you missed, review formulas, and read helpful study tips.

Features:
• HamStudy's intelligent study algorithms work with you to ensure you learn the questions, tracking your progress and adjusting the pace to keep you challenged but not frustrated.
• Vetted user-submitted explanations help you avoid the pitfall of just memorizing answers.
• Infinite practice exams. Fun fact: it takes around 70 practice exams before you’ll see every Technician question just once. Study more, test less!
• Study all current US Amateur Radio question pools: Technician, General, and Amateur Extra. Updates are downloaded automatically, and new pools are always included free when they are revised every four years.
• English and Spanish translations included for US Amateur Radio pools.
• Includes an ever-growing selection of international question pools, such as Canada, Mexico, New Zealand, and Argentina.
• Supports multiple users on the same device, each with independent study history.
• Sync your progress across all devices and study online with a free hamstudy.org account.
• Share your progress with friends, instructors, or other HamStudy.org users and help each other keep progressing towards that next license exam!

Ratings and reviews

2024-0916 I really like this app, it helps you study in a variety of ways that for me helps me retain the material better. The only "issue " I have is that when you are scrolling through reading each question, it's very sensitive to scroll past your next question. it's very sensitive and if you slide to scroll to the next question just a little too hard you may go passed it by two or three questions. Otherwise this is an excellent app.

The interface is great. Clean and simple, it presents the information in an easy to read way. Study mode is fantastic for learning the questions and answers. The practice exams are just as well done. Definitely worth the money. I've gone from zero to three perfect scores on practice exams in about 9 hours. I just burned through Study mode until I had gotten most questions correct at least two times in a row, and then tried the practice exams. The app made it very easy.

I like the app and it works great. I used it to pass my General and am now working on my Extra. I use the app on my phone during the day when work is slow or I am on a break and on my tablet when I get home. The only thing I don't like is that the study sessions themselves are not synced across devices. Other than that, I highly recommend this app.
