I agree but there are study guides that also teach each question, why when how and where. Those are good. I think the point is that you should totally understand each question before moving on to the next question. In order to do that, you'll have to do a lot more than just memorize each question/answer pair.

When I got my ham license, I had my 1st Class Commercial License for 30 years and worked in the career for even longer as a CET so the technical side of all three ham licenses was not that difficult. Other people might not be that fortunate and could really use some in-depth instruction. There's tons of ham subjects that I can still learn. Love it.

If the classes that you take just teach you to memorize the questions you might as well just use the online study guides that are free. There are some good ones available.

Besides, learning is fun. Take some classes. Join a local Ham club...

Cheers,
