Ah, you answered a few questions that were puzzling me. So you are told test results immediately and the FCC posts your call sign within a few weeks. Nice to know.

I will second the vote for gigaparts -- I got my FT60 there, and they were fast and on the ball.

I also second the recommendation to take more than just your tech test, as it costs nothing more that day. ?I studied for my tech until I was hitting good scores, and studied a bit of the general just before going for the test. ?First test I had taken in 30 years. ?I got 100% on the tech, so they asked me if I wanted to take the general. ?I had nothing to lose so I did. ?I got 100% on it so they asked me if I wanted to take the extra. ?Now I had not even peeked at any extra questions, but I am also an EE so I figured I had a shot. ?Did not do as well on the extra test. ?Only got 87%. ?But they said that was good enough, and a week or so later I was AF7EZ. ?So try them all, you have nothing to lose but a few more minutes.
