At first you’ll have a hard time with some specific questions, but you’ll get the hang of it. If you want they usually let you write the general and the extra exams after the technician for no extra fee (they’re harder but give you a better license with more permissions. Technician gives you a lot, though) If you’re at all interested you should do it! Getting licensed doesn’t take much time, even if it seems a little daunting at first.
