When I decided to get a Ham radio license, a co-worker of mine told me that all I needed to do was pass an easy 35 question multiple choice exam.  He even referred me to a website where I could take practice tests as many times as I wanted.

When I asked him if there was a site where I could take a class, he told me that I didn’t need a class.  Since there were only about 100 different questions, all I needed to do was to memorize the answers to the questions.  In short, I was to keep taking the practice tests until I could repeatedly pass the practice exams.
