Product Description:

Elmer creates sample tests to help you prepare for your ham radio written examination. It contains all FCC question pools for each of the three written exams: Technician, General, & Extra. Elmer will grade your sample test, showing you which questions were answered incorrectly. It will also indicate if you passed the exam. Elmer keeps track of which questions you have difficulty with, and will custom tailor exams to help you study.

In the unregistered version, Elmer will have access to only half of the question pool for each exam. Registering will unlock the rest of the question pool.

MacinMind (MacinMind Software)

In general this software is helpful for practicing for an exam although it still has room for some improvement. In particular I'd hope a little more work would be put into making the figures more readable. Currently they are low-res scans zoomed. But considering this is a piece of software that as far as I can tell is unique to fulfill this need on the Mac, it's going to be worth it in peace of mind in passing the real test for many people. It should be used in conjuction with a book on the subject. I'll probably purchase it in preparation for getting my Extra. KC9AYH.
