In February I finally bit the bullet and booked the exam for the UK Amateur
|
|
Radio Licence (Foundation Level).
|
|
|
|
My natural learning style is both meandering and thorough. I like to work at my
|
|
own pace and pursue rabbit holes and tangents. I dislike exams and any aspect of
|
|
competition injected into the learning process. At school my grades were always
|
|
lower than my actual knowledge level because I never studied for the test, I
|
|
pursued what was interesting to me to depths not required by the exams.
|
|
|
|
I think all people who love learning for its own sake are like this but I did
|
|
actually _need_ the licence in order to be able to transmit and start gaining
|
|
practical knowledge. Having the test booked for the end of the month helped me
|
|
concentrate and stay on target.
