Practice Test — Set 4: Figure G7-1

The five figure-based questions from the pool — the only ones in the entire General pool that reference a diagram. Each is shown with a redrawn copy of Figure G7-1 right on the question card, so you can learn the numbered symbols the same way they appear on the real exam.

About the 423

The 2023–2027 Element 3 pool was published with 432 questions. NCVEC has since withdrawn nine of them — G1A04, G1C08, G1C09, G1C10, G1E09, G6B09, G8C01, G9C06 and G9D13 — mostly because FCC rule changes to the 60-meter band and to HF data symbol rates overtook them. Withdrawn questions cannot appear on an exam, so they are excluded here, leaving 423 live questions. The remaining questions were not renumbered, which is why you will see gaps in the question IDs.
