The National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (NCVEC) Question Pool Committee (QPC) is requesting
input from the Amateur Radio community as it looks toward developing a new
General class (Element 3) examination question pool. It's anticipated that the
revised Element 3 question pool will be released on or about December 1, 2006.
It will become effective for all examinations given on or after July 1, 2007.
"All interested parties are invited to participate in this process,"
says QPC Chair Jim Wiley, KL7CC. "The QPC is interested in your suggestions
for this new pool, including new questions or existing material that should be
deleted or edited." Submit
questions directly to the QPC via the NCVEC Web site.
Groups of questions may be submitted via e-mail
as MS-Word documents or plain-text file e-mail attachments. To get a
feel for the formatting requirements, see the individual question submission
page or look at one of the existing question pools. "The QPC does not
guarantee that all questions submitted will be used," Wiley says,
"and the committee reserves the right to edit material as necessary,
including the right to combine material from more than one source when creating
new questions." All current Amateur Radio examination question pools
are available on the ARRL Web site.
