Report an Exam Question

If you’ve taken a UK amateur radio exam recently, and found a badly worded or unfair question, let us know. This will help us to identify problem questions, update our training material if needed, and report problem trends to the RSGB. The aim is to help tutors and future students to prepare and not get caught out!

This does not replace your right to raise a challenge with the RSGB, especially if you have failed due to an apparently dodgy question. Contact the RSGB Exam Team to raise a challenge. This page is purely to help trainers and students to be prepared going forward, and to spot the trends in challenging questions.
