The “Durango VE Team “DARC VE Team Test Instructions” https://durangoarc.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/DARC-VE-Team-Test-Instructions.pdf file, has links to a number of on line resources, many free, which include flash cards and practice exams to help you prepare for the exams.
It also answers a number of questions which people have had over the years, so look at that file and most questions will be answered. If you have a question that is not addressed in that file ask.
The file also has information and the link to obtain your FCC ID (FRN), which you will need to put on your application. Once you obtain your FRN that same file has the link to the testing registration page. Once you decide which testing session you will be attending, please sign up ASAP.
