The Technician license test is very easy to pass with just a few hours of study memorizing the questions and answers but it is really worth the extra effort to get the General license. The General test is more difficult because there are more technical questions and some math involved but anybody who is willing to take practice tests until they can consistently score 90 percent or better won't have any problem passing.

The Extra class test contains more questions and much more theory than the General test does.

You can memorize questions and answers for all of the tests but the tests cover a lot of topics that you really need to know to properly operate your equipment, so IMO, it pays to learn the concepts instead of spending more time memorizing everything without actually learning the basic principles.

This is the approach I have taken. I've been trying to learn the material and not so much just memorize it for the sake of passing an exam for equipment I won't know how to use. So that's why I haven't really been in a hurry to get my license.
