You can download them from the ARRL (questions and answers). When I was
studying I made a perl script that would either quiz you or filter out
the wrong answers.

John, Why did you go to all that trouble? The test is so easy now a
"Cave Man" could pass them. Don't insult us like Gieco does Auto
insurance.

Actually I think they were dumbed down so a cave man could GRADE them.
That dictated multiple choice, and it's hard to make a tough multiple
choice test.

Of course what do I know? I'm just a cave man who passed the tests!

Give us a couple of examples of what you think are difficult, relevant and appropriate questions, let us see how difficult you think this "rocket science" is, exactly?

Indeed, if there is something you are having a problem with, there are those here which can help you...

Copy 60 seconds of Morse Code by hand with no errors, corrections or
omissions.

What's the difference between a Colpitts oscillator and a Hartley
Oscillator? Draw schematics of both showing the differences.

What is the purpose of a 'swinging choke'?

Ah!! Those were the days ....n :-)
