Congrats man I recentiy also passed my General’s license about a month ago at 12 years old
Did it really only take 3 days to get your call sign after you passed the exam? Wow! That’s pretty darn fast.

Congratulations hope you will enjoy the hobby. Technician is not easy I tried it online but pass a couple of times but last time I tried I failed. Had also passed the online General a few times but newer the extra. Hold a Danish A licens and a 12 wpm cw test too. I am most active in cw contest on HF, mostly 20m. But the amateurs have a lot of 2m repeaters you can use with your new licens.

KE9COM De, N5LYS out of Pasadena, TX. Mucho Congratulations on passing your Tech Exam. I remember how I felt when I passed my Tech Exam . I was a lot younger than I am now
. I am currently studying for my General Ticket and it’s going to take me longer to get it down to where it all makes sense to me. Anyway, I just wanted to offer my congrats to you.

Congratulations!
Keep studying and get the General and Extra licenses. They aren’t that much harder and you are already in the studying habit, if you put them off, you may never find the time to do it,
Study and keep taking practice exams online until you can get 85 to 95% of the questions right. Then you’ll be ready. Google “free ham radio practice exam.”
I like Gordon West’s study books. They are reasonably priced, concise, well organize, and easy to go through as you have time. Be sure to read the material on how to take a test. It’s proven test-taking strategy and great advice. For example, one thing Gordon points out is you don’t have to master every subject that is likely to be on the exam(s). Don’t worry too much if you are weak in some areas because there will likely only be a few questions on the exam(s), and you can afford to miss a few here and there. I’ll add that you can save time studying by marking and only reading the right answers in the quizzes in Gordon’s books. Don’t waste time reading the wrong answers. This will help you recognize the right answers when taking the exam(s).
Keep going and good luck!
Congratulations… keep at it and pass that general test!
