US hams can also check the CQ magazine http://www.cq-amateur-radio.com/ and QST magazine http://www.arrl.org/ websites for info and links to sample tests.

This weekend driving home from up north I was listening on the scanner to one of the Ham/Canwarn frequencies and this now semi-retired electrical engineering professor was talking to someone who had the basic licence and wanted to get the advanced and as he was going through all the formulas and everything I soon realized that the best way to pass this exam is to take electrical engineering first, there's a lot you have to know.
