Welcome to the AA9PW Commercial Exam practice pages.

To try the practice tests: Select an Element in the left sidebar and click Take Exam.

Currently four exams are presented, Elements 1, 3, 8 and 9 as I believe these will be the most useful to the majority of the site's users. These are the required elements for the following licences:

  • Maritime Radio Operators Licence (Element 1 only)
  • General Radio Operators Licence (Elements 1 and 3).
  • Ship Radar Endorsement (Element 8).
  • GMDSS Radio Maintainer (Elements 1,3 and 9).
There are another five exams in use in the FCC Commercial examination system (Elements 2,4,5,6 and 7). The majority of these exams are multiple choice written examinations, though there are also a number of Morse Code components (Element 2). I hope to add the remaining written elements to the site over time. Please contact me if you have a specific need for one of the elements I havent included yet.

For more information on the FCC Commercial exams, check out the W5YI Commercial Radio Examination pages. These contain useful FAQs and examination requirements, where to take the real exams, etc. You might also try the FCC Commercial Radio exam pages.


This site is intended to provide practice for the US Commercial Radio Examinations required to obtain a US Commercial Radio Licence. The exams generated are for PRACTICE ONLY, in order to receive an official licence you will have to pass the exams at an official examination session.
