SB QST ARL ARLB002
ARLB002 New Technician Question Pool Released, Effective July 1,
2022

The National Conference of Volunteer Examiner Coordinators (NCVEC)
Question Pool Committee (QPC) has released the 2022 - 2026
Technician Class FCC Element 2 NCVEC Question Pool Syllabus &
Question Pool into the public domain. It's available as a Word
document or PDF. The three graphics required for the new Technician
question pool are available within the documents, or separately as
PDF or JPG files.

The new pool incorporates some significant changes compared to the
2018 - 2022 pool. Its 257 questions were modified slightly to
improve wording or to replace distractors; 51 new questions were
generated, and 62 questions were eliminated. This resulted in a
reduction of 11 questions, bringing the total number of questions in
the pool from 423 to 412. The difficulty level of the questions is
now more balanced, and the techniques and practices addressed have
been updated.

The new 2022 - 2026 question pool is effective July 1, 2022 - June
30, 2026, and must be used for Technician-class license exams
administered on or after July 1, 2022.
