I read through the Extra question pool twice and found I could answer about 80% of the questions. So I went and took the test.
Out of the 50 questions I got 40 right. Of the 10 I missed there were 5 I did not even answer. So I did get 80% right on the first try. I got my first ticket (KN5MYJ/K5MYJ) in 1957. And the General exam in 1957 was more difficult than the current Extra exam. The stuff I think I missed on was the Satellite related stuff. And there is too much DIGITAL BS!
