Most local clubs offer classes.
It sure is helpful.
Online practicing teaches you how to pass the test.
In person actually explains a lot of the theory behind it.
I would seek out a class if possible.
My grand daughter that lives with us thought it was funny that I have homework And a project to do.:)

Not too bad so far.
Been a long time since I've had to do Math though.
Good excuse to buy a new calculator.
And have been picking up a lot that is not in the book.
Small class(only 8 ) and a teacher that takes the time on stuff we stumble on .

Wait till you dig into the Extra class endorsement. Hope you paid lots of attention in your high school trigonometry class. Was asked to do a presentation at the local university a few years back, no stranger to that as I was a GTA in grad school (ahem 1979ish). Unfortunately when I turned up with my briefcase and notes looking for a chalkboard lets just say the students found it rather humorous expecting a laptop driven power point session.

Now are you really sure about that '70's date Mr Chips? Sure it wasn't earlier? lol
Even in the 90's when I was at uni we were using ppt files and projectors.
Were you packing a slide-rule aswell? hehe
:p

Hey now, i can still carry that shoebox full of punch cards to the IBM terminal as fast as ever and have a four function calculator, of course somewheres around here resides my slide rule but dangnabbit some meanie shrunk the scale to a silly micro size. No such thing as a cell phone in class however we did have lots of decorator ash trays.
Only regret was not one of the rich kids so had to make do with a manual typewriter and white out rather than one of those fancy electric ones with the white out ribbon cartridge.
