I had a great experience using GO AL1S…
I had a great experience using GO AL1S to take my Amateur Radio Technician exam — and I PASSED! 🎉📻 The whole process was pretty straightforward. Since the exam is done online through Zoom, there are a few logistical things you have to do beforehand. There were four observers on the session to make sure everything was done properly. You need two cameras running — one facing you and another showing your computer monitor. They also make sure your testing area is clear and that there’s no outside assistance. At first, all the camera and room setup seemed like a lot, but once everything was in place, the actual exam process was very smooth. What I really liked was how convenient it was. I had been dragging my feet about taking the exam for a while. I kept telling myself I was going to do it, but it was always getting pushed to the back burner. Finally, I said, "Okay, I've got to do this now!" I checked GO AL1S's availability around 3 PM, booked an exam, and by about 8 PM that same evening, I was taking the test. That was exactly what I needed — no weeks of waiting around and finding another excuse to put it off! And the follow-up was just as fast. The next day, my results had already been sent to the FCC. By around noon, I received the notice to pay the FCC fee and submit my application. Now I'm hoping that within another couple of days I'll have my callsign! Overall, I'm really happy with the experience. The process is organized, the exam security procedures make sense, and the convenience of being able to schedule an exam on short notice is a huge plus. If you've been procrastinating about getting your license like I was, just book the exam and get it done! 😄 Thanks, GO AL1S!
