Many of us gravitated to
this book, to get us through the FCC exam.
Not only is it cheaper than the recommended books, but we found it to be better learning material.
Combine this with
fcctests site you are guaranteed to pass the test with flying colours!
NOTE: Mr Fortich discourages the use of this book. We can't disagree enough. It is understandable why he and Parker may oppose it. They are part of the Elkins Institute, and money spent at the school bookstore will benefit the school. So, with the money you save on the purchase of this book, consider donating a little back to the school, they need it.
Advice for new students 1) Yes, Parker and Fortich do tell a lot of stories. Maybe 50% of the time. Be patient and just put up with it!
2) Don't rely on class time to learn the material. Do the required reading at home, or you will be left behind! Study!!! Start now, not tomorrow!!!
3) You'll get three months of good Electronics study. It ain't much, so make the most of it. The other two months will focus mostly on the FCC questions.
4) Learning the FCC is 80% memorisation. The sooner you read it, the better you'll be at trying to memorise the answers!! That means starting today.
5) Create a mail list and start communicating with class mates via e-mail. This will become vital towards the end of the term, and during your job hunting, networking will be essential, so might as well get it started early.
